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!

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!

WHFS 102.3 FM, Milo - From January 1983

Our good buddy Jim, stumbled on yet another of his WHFS tapes and contacted me to share the links for it here for all the folks that follow us and dig these old 'HFS tapes.
Played back through his recently refurbished Nakamichi tape deck, it sounds as good as the day it was taped.
Can't thank Jim enough for taking the time to contact me, and share what is another priceless slice of WHFS 102.3 History! Enjoy....

The Big D.C. Jamboree Vol. 3 CD Rip

Dang, sometimes you come across something in your own CD collection that you've overlooked and forgotten about for years. While going through some of my 'various artists' CDs looking for some tunes to load up on my iPod, I spotted this old CD that for some reason has just been sitting there collecting dust for 20 years. What a shame. This CD is freakin' packed with twangin' guitars, Roots Rock, Rockabilly, Psychobilly and strait up Rock n' Roll from D.C.'s finest of the early 90's.
I am familiar with Ruthie and The Wranglers and The Wanktones on here, but that's just about it for me. It's a great collection...Enjoy!

The Skip Castro Band ‎– Fast Break

While listening to an old WHFS tape from prolific sharer 'Bob', the Skip Castro band tune, covering 'Red Hot' came on. Weasel was playing a fine rock n roll set.
Anyways, he mentioned the name of the LP and since I couldn't find it anywhere, I purchased it from a seller on Discogs.
So here it is, for all you guys that appreciate this sort of stuff.  let's rock!

Jimmie Rodgers Tribute - TNN's American Music Shop [Circa 1990] Audio Rip

Jimmie Rodgers Tribute - TNN's American Music Shop [Circa 1990] Audio Rip

Hosted by David Holt, with Van Williams, Marty Brown, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Back in the early 90's TNN had a great series called The American Music Shop. This music show featured a different country artist each week. Concerts were given in a small, intimate theatre and recorded live. In addition to the artists' own bands, the American Music Shop band (Mark O'Conner, Musical Director) accompanied the performers, giving these concerts a unique sound.

I recorded a few of these shows on VHS HI-FI.

1 Show Intro
2 Somewhere Down Below the Dixon Line
3 Guest Intros
4 California Blues
5 Mule Skinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)
6 Let Me Be Your Sidetrack
7 Peach Pickin' Time In Georgia

9 Prohibition Has Done Me Wrong
10 Frankie and Johnny
11 In the Jailhouse Now

The Buddy Holly Story Soundtrack

I purchased this LP from eBay recently. Gary Busey does a pretty good job interpreting Buddy Holly. Long out of print and originally released in 1978.

Apparently the copy I received is a poor pressing as a rumble is present between tracks. I trimmed the dead space between tunes to minimize this distraction. Still very listenable. 

A1	Rave On
A2	It's So Easy
A3	True Love Ways
A4	Clear Lake Medley:
	That'll Be The Day

The Rockets - Live Rockets, Needle Drop

Having mistakenly found and then downloaded The Rockets Live album, a vinyl rip@24bit 192khz 3GB flac file, no less, did I realize it was not The Rockets from Detroit, USA but some space rock band from France. Dang it.
So this got me to go ahead and rip my pristine Rockets Live L.P.

Perusing the interwebs, I saw a copy on eBay for sale at $75.00. Man, I'm gonna have to consider selling some of my stash.

Haven't heard this one in a while, and it's good ol' kick ass Rock'n Roll!
Here's a review I stole that says it all better than I can. Besides that, I'm just too fucking lazy and not articulate enough to say what this dude already said.

THE ROCKETS-LIVE ROCKETS: Detroit Rock City boasts an impressive rock & roll pedigree that includes ALICE COOPER, BOB SEGER, MC5, RARE EARTH, TED NUGENT and BROWNSVILLE STATION. LIVE ROCKETS is a slam-bang grab bag of boogie classics from that region's most underrated band, whose five album career has otherwise never been legitimized by a greatest hits compilation. DAVE GILBERT's raspy, "Saturday night out with the boys" screech, bolstered by ex DETROIT WHEELS legends JIM MCCARTY's careening axe salvos and JOHNNY "THE BEE" BADANJEK's solid stick-work, is augmented by guest sax blower CHUCK PERRAUT and a trio of soul-powered female backing vocalists. This is a made-loud-to-play-loud farewell party with sass to spare. Crash 'n burn BADENJEK originals like CAN'T SLEEP, TURN UP THE MUSIC and ROLLIN' BY THE RECORD MACHINE mix seamlessly with a suitably funky cover of LOU REED's slinky SALLY CAN'T DANCE and a ballbustin' version of bloozer PETER GREEN's classic OH WELL. As one of their better album titles suggested, there's NO BALLADS to get in the way of a good time. Brash, bloozey, and ballsy, once you give 'em a ride, LIVE ROCKETS is a hard platter indeed to take off your record machine.

Well, that just about covers all you need to know about this kick-butt album.

The Black Angels on Austin City Limits [Season 43]

From my DVR to you we have the audio rip of The Black Angels on Austin City Limits [Season 43]

It's a short and sweet set aired on my local PBS station.

The Black Angels bring their signature sound of menacing fuzz guitar and cutting wordplay, steeped in a murky hallucinatory dream back to Austin City Limits for a second time performing songs from their powerful new record Death Song.

Since forming in Austin in 2004, The Black Angels have become standard-bearers for modern psych-rock, and the New York Times has said they “play psychedelic rock as if the 1960s never ended, and they are absolute masters of it.” The band’s 2010 breakthrough Phosphene Dream launched the Austin collective onto the world stage.

Death Song is the psych rock masters’ first full-length release in four years. NPR raves, “The Black Angels have delivered an enormous and frighteningly timely fifth album full of uniquely trippy anthems to oblivion.” Written and recorded in large part during the recent election cycle, the music serves as part protest, part emotional catharsis in a climate dominated by division, anxiety and unease. Classic Rock says Death Song “is their heaviest to date, a toxic draught of garage- rock and booming psychedelia that buzzes with echo and reverb,” while A.V. Club claims “confirms there’s no end to the kinds of hurt and frustration that can be channeled into its cathartic music.”
