More WHFS Than You Could Listen To In A Lifetime

 

 Instead of answering requests to re-up past WHFS posts, I'm in the process of uploading all my tapes, and the ones shared with me by others to INTERNET ARCHIVE. 

55GB WOW!

Now before anyone gets their panties in an uproar over low bit-rates, I digitized my tapes when disk space was at a premium. Having said that, they sound fine as is. More recent tapes that were sent to me to digitize and share on the blog are MP3/320, some in FLAC even.

It's a boatload enjoy!

I'll be adding to it so check back in the next few days for updates

More WHFS 99.1- Feb 1985 From our Good Buddy Jim

 

Just received this email from Jim... All his shares are great so I'm sure this one is as well... Thanks Jim!!!!

 

I'll let Jim handle it from here....

 

Hey Camarillo,

 

After I was certain I had exhausted my supply of HFS tapes, up pops another one. These sets are from the relatively early days of 99.1.  Although the tape was not labeled, I believe the David and Weasel side is most likely from February 1985 based upon the songs and their weather reports.  The Sara side may be from a day or two later. I apologize for a bit of hiss and bleed through which you’ll hear during the back announce segments. I was living in Falls Church at the time very near the 98.7 WMZQ tower which made clear reception of 99.1 tricky. I’m happy that this tape, a basic TDK AD-90, held up extremely well as it is pretty clean sounding with no dropouts.

 

Enjoy!

Jim

WAMU 88.5 FM Overnight Express tape from July 13, 1980 From Jim

 

 My Good buddy Jim, who taped lots of local radio way back in the day... Has shared another cool tape with us. Thanks again as always Jim!

Here's his email text to me.

I've switched computers so don't think I've sent you anything from this email address before but here I am with another find from the basement.

Here's a recording of the WAMU 88.5 FM Overnight Express show from July 13, 1980 which included Bruce Rosenstein's every other week new music show. I found it on the B side of a Live Gang of Four Concert that was played on WHFS a month later.  The concert spilled over a bit and unfortunately I taped over the first minute of Bruce but 25- 30 minutes of his show remains.  I don't remember any of these songs but luckily Bruce back announces all of them. After he signs off there's about 10 minutes of Kim playing the Slickee Boys and The Dark--at least I think the last few are from The Dark.  I have a couple of their tunes on Skip Groff's DC Connected Sampler (LIMP 1005), so it's nice to hear more from them.

Glad to see you still have the blog going and hoping you are in good health.

As always I'll share any additional nuggets that surface.

Jim

The Kinks - King Biscuit Flower Hour - Chicago 1986

Recorded Live at the Riviera Theatre, Chicago, Illinois 1986

Another one of my tapes that I thought had been posted here before. It's a good sounding over the air broadcast of the Kinks recorded Feb 17 1989 from 98 Rock, WIYY in Baltimore. Always blows my mind that these 30 plus year old tapes sound this good. Sadly there is a tape flip/splice on You Really Got Me. Shit happens.

Billy Idol - King Biscuit Flower Hour 98 Rock 04-29-1990

Another tape I stumbled on while looking for some goodies to add to my iPod. It's an awesome sounding show taped off of 98 Rock and ripped today to share. I tried looking on line for a cleaner rip from an original KBFH CD, but the only one I found was a dodgy link for a download that I passed on. No matter, this one sounds fuckin' great! Steve Stevens is the real deal! Enjoy!

TEARS FOR FEARS - In Concert Westwood One, from WHFS 1990

I went ahead and ripped this 29 year old cassette today and figured, might as well post it here to share with my fellow 'HFS heads, and anyone else that can dig this.
It's an on the air recording of a Westwood One Radio Broadcast on WHFS circa 1990, recorded on my Akai Open Reel Tape Deck then transferred to this cassette tape. Can't seem to find anything on line about it. It sounds pretty sweet for a 29 year old TDK SA-76 Tape!
