Dang,
Robbie spent the last week or so digitizing about 19 WHFS Mystic Eyes Shows from 1980. He was kind enough to send me links to download them and present them here.
I have only heard a couple of them and they sound pretty awesome.
Big thanks to Robbie for all his hard work and generosity!!!

What This Is All About
I've been collecting live music from various sources since the mid to late 70's. Radio shows, TV broadcasts, radio show pre-FM CD's and vinyl LP's and some trades. Most of the shows posted here, I recorded and ripped myself. I always had top of the line stereo equipment and cassette and open reel recorders for those on air broadcasts.
I've downloaded plenty of bootlegged concerts from various blogs. As a rule I will only post stuff from my collection and not what is already available out there.
I also post out of print CDs and LPs from my collection.
I will repost from my readers anything someone sends me as long as it is either out of print or something that's not from someone else's blog. If you want to share a link for a cool item on your blog, or someone else's, please feel free to post it in the comments........
Enjoy and please leave a comment and pass this blog along.
Can you believe that so many out there are starving for the old WHFS? Amazing!
If you leave a comment, how about using a nickname instead of Anonymous. At least make up something please. Thanks!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!
thanks
[any additional info?]
I guess the only other info I should have posted is that sadly, Robbie tells me, there is no DJ Chatter...Right now I'm listening to tape 2 chock full of early punk...
So fantastic! Thanks!
Thanks for this tapes !!!!!
Thank Robbie!
This is the fucking shit. Thanks!
These Steve Lorber tapes are recorded by my friend Gary in the year 1980 (right after Steve left WGTB and came to WHFS). Unfortunatey when Gary recorded these, he turned off his cassette when the music stopped, so there is no DJ talk nor any commercials.
Robbie White
It's amazing thinking back...I hated talk and chatter...but today they are cherished on those tapes!
My thanks to Robbie for getting these tapes downloaded and burned to CDs for me -- I've been listening to them in my car, and discovering a lot of songs I haven't heard since 1980. I recorded these from the "Mystic Eye" in the spring and summer and 1980. As Robbie notes, I would pause my recorder during commercials, PSAs, etc. -- trying to conserve tape, I guess. I can identify most but not all of the songs/artists if you are stumped by any of them.
By the way, I also have somewhere between 25 and 50 hours of tape from Jello Biafra's weekly punk show on the Pacifica radio station in San Francisco -- recorded when I lived there in 1981. A lot of these songs are very obscure, and I'm guessing there's a lot of stuff here that is not otherwise available today. If anyone would like to help me get these converted to CDs, let me know.
It's great to here from you Gary! As far as getting your tapes on CD or digitizing them, either get a standalone CD recorder or run the outputs from you tape deck into your sound card and record them via software like Total Recorder...here's link:
