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!
