WHFS From Bill Ripped on 09-27-2013

OK...Here is another tape from contributer Bill. All I can tell you is it's from WHFS, probably early to mid 80's.
As with a lot of the other tapes Bill sent me, this TDKD90 tape doesn't even have a single word written on it. And Bill liked to tape the tunes...forget all the DJ chatter, commercials and what not. At the end of the tape is actually a sentence spoken by an unknown (to me) DJ letting us know we just heard a tune from World Party.
Maybe Bill will have a listen and recall when he taped it. It's full of good tunes, not to chopped up, so a pretty sweet listen. Thanks Bill!

Thomas Dolby, Don Dixon, Robert Cray, World Party and whole bunch of stuff that sounds familiar, but I can't identify.

WHFS 99.1 Meg Then Damian 05-07-1986

 Here is yet another fine WHFS Tape recorded at work on my Sony Boombox.
As before, sound quality is a bit less then steller compared to those tapes I made with my Pioneer CT-F1000 and Akai open reel deck. It isn't total crap though. 
Recorded, I believe, in the morning, starting with a few tunes from Meg, then the majority is Damien spinning some great tunes. The last five minutes or so sounds like I filled it with some Ronnie Hawkins. It's a pretty sweet tape!

This one almost didn't get shared. I originally ripped it a couple weeks ago, and when I listened to the rip it sounded like shit. So I deleted the file and tossed the tape in the trash pile. Then, later I was ripping another tape and discovered that one of the channels was dropping out due to some dirty RCA cable connections. Probably TMI, just glad I could get it out there for y'all to check out....Enjoy!

Robert Showacre, AKA Bob Here Passes On September 5, 2013

I didn't know that Bob Here had passed a couple of weeks ago. An anonymous reader sent me a message letting me know. All of us 'HFS fans I'm sure, are saddened by the news. It goes without saying, he was one of the best DJ's the station had to offer and also later on WRNR...Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

WHFS 99.1 Meg, Weasel 05-22-1986


OK, this is not the best sounding tape I've posted. But it isn't total crap either. I taped it at work on my Sony portable boom box. What it lacks in fidelity, it more then makes up for with music quality! 
This was a short lived experiment I had trying to tape great WHFS at work. Well it was interfering with my job so I stopped...just think, today, I would just fill an SD card, or HDD up and edit it later. Imagine how many hours we would have...oh well..at least I was blessed to be able hear WHFS all day, every day!

This one is loaded with Great, Great tunes to party down to. Kinda hard to believe it's middle of the work week music, but it is. Tenacious Tuesday, May 22 1986...

THE DEL LORDS, LONE JUSTICE, LONG RIDERS, ARLAN ROTH, DAVE EDMUNDS, THE COMET TEENS, THE SPECIALS, ROOT BOY SLIM, BRIAN SETZER, LEROI BROTHERS, NRBQ, JOHNNY SEATON, THE BEATLES, QUICKSILVER, U2, THE BEATLES, TOMMY KEENE, HOODOO GURUS, LETS ACTIVE, FLAMIN' GROOVIES, SLICKEE BOYS, RICHARD LLOYD

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!

I have reconsidered my position...and will re-upload dead links, so long as you go to that particular post and make the request from the comments page...
