Radio: 1988 Sample

this is off an old tape I made when I was a little kid in 1988. I had to edit a lot of stuff out because the radio sections are far between a bunch of other stuff I recorded. but you'll be able to hear some interesting songs from the time period, and some radio announcers/DJ's before I stopped the recording. I wish I had recorded more back then, but at least I have this. if anyone has any recordings of radio from the 80s, post it as a video response to this!

hey, that's pretty cool. There arn't many of those instrumental stations around any more. What is on 95.5 in your area now, and who was that talk show host that was on for a minute there?X

@manyvideoinerests Thanks! 95.5 is B95.5 now, and it's adult contemporary I think. boring stuff. and I don't know who that talk show host was :P

What is the song at the very end?? 5:28-5:40?

[coolbluelights]

I really don't know, it could be just radio bumper music

When I think summer '88, I think of the song "The Flame" by Cheap Trick. Kinda gay, huh.

[coolbluelights]

that song's pretty good actually, but I don't remember it from that time period I wasn't old enough to appreciate the song at the time lol

I wish I could say that I have something in the midst of all of the hours and hours worth of radio I recorded in the Detroit area as a kid, and not to mention all of the fooling around I used to do!

That was great.  Looking forward to more :)

I don't have any from when I was little like this... but I have some radio recordings and audio I found on some of my dad's cassettes and aunt's reel to reels. One was an early 70s cassette recording of WDVE with Janis Joplin.

Great listening to what we call 'historic recordings'... fascinating time capsule Dan... :)
