Wild Al Kelly on Talk Radio UK

I had some recordings on cassette tape of "Wild" Al Kelly on Talk Radio UK from 1995 shortly after the sation was launched and since there's hardly anything anywhere of Al Kelly here or on the internet in general I thought it would be nice to share these snippets with anyone who's interested.
Al was the late night talk show host in the 1am to 6am slot on Talk Radio UK (now known as TalkSport) for only three weeks before being sacked for being too edgy and swearing a lot (as evident in one of the clips here). I had one other recording where he calls his boss a "peice of fleg that's just crawled out of my anus", sadly I can't find this recording and so would seem to be lost. Al was replaced with Chad Benson with Mike Hanson and Kev the Wonder Sheep before Ian Collins stepped in with Mike as producer and Kev as assistant producer.

@OrsonTheMagnificent You sir are a legend!

But #13 - 95-03-02 (0208-0251) isn't on Megaupload. I've downloaded most of the others, still got a few more to download but the one above isn't available.

I just uploaded over 5 hours of Wild Al audio. It's not letting me post the links, but I posted them on a forum. Lemme see if I can get the link past the youtube censors. tinyurl d0t c0m backslash 2wdxvo4

@LaaLaa Not work. That link just takes me to a forum asking for a log in.

What software do you use for converting audio tape to a computer?Iv got about 3 tapes full of Wild Al Kelly,including his final show.

[Soopytwist]

@MOTHIKAS I use Goldwave v5.04 (registered shareware), although there a free ones line Audacity, and an 3.5mm jack audio cable from my hi-fi to the line-in on my X-Fi soundcard and record the tape as a WAV, pass noise reduction over it and save it as MP3. Man I'd love those tapes MOTHIKAS. If you do convert them to MP3 I'd really appreciate copies!

[OrsonTheMagnificent]

It works for me. That unavailable message happens sometimes, try again later and it works.

I've a feeling the .rar with the 10 small clips might have come from you originally - it's 10 small realaudio files I've had for years that I converted to mp3 ... but 2 of the clips are also in your youtube video - the very same clips.

@Soopytwist

Ah when I tried again it said I had to add you as a friend for you to accept messages, add me and I'll send again.

@Soopytwist

Yeah you'd have to sign up. I posted them there.

I tried pm'ing you the links but it doesn't seem to go through.

Anyone got any more recordings available of him from Talk radio? I remember one of his shows where he changed his name to "The Artist Formerly Known As Wild Al Kelly" or something because Prince had done so!
