ABSOLUTELY IMMENSE ARCHIVE OF BLACK/ URBAN/ DANCE RADIO TAPE RIPS FROM THE 80s/ 90s. DOWNLOAD AND REMINISCE
Here we go with something for all nostalgists/ music historians/ fans. This is an exhaustive collection of radio show audio from back in the day, covering a variety of black/ urban/ dance music DJs and shows. Although many of these have come from my own garage cassette archives, a fair few have been sourced from various other uploaders, so respect and acknowledgement to all concerned for their posts. Much of the audio has appeared before and has been in wide circulation on the web, but there's sure to be something of interest to pretty much everyone among this lot.
My personal favourites are a happy and high Danny Rampling on Kiss FM in Summer 1988 when it was still a pirate, a very young Trevor Nelson on Kiss from the same era, and Pete Tong delivering his Soul Session on Capital in early '88. There's also a snippet of Westwood on the pirate LWR in 1985, along with a bunch of classic audio from the legendary Capital Rap Show; the programme from 12th Jan 91 is absolutely on-point, as is the Live To London session broadcast live from The Arch in Vauxhall in May '92. Loads of Robbie Vincent and Jeff Young on Radio 1, for anyone who remembers when these dudes were on top of their game.
In addition, I've uploaded a few of my own Swing Shift shows from Galaxy 101, which will hopefully find favour with anyone who used to listen to that in the golden years.
The oldest recording remains the excerpt from Greg Edwards' Soul Spectrum on Capital, from 1978.
Everything else pretty much speaks for itself, and is grouped by station for convenience. Happy listening.

Nice one Mark. I shall re-post. The Trevor Nelson tape from June 1988 is one I ripped from a tape given to me by Paul Hassan of Emergency Radio, which was a pirate in Bristol in 1988 that had close links with some of the Kiss DJs.
http://bristolradiorecordings.blogspot.com/2011/10/mark-devlin-blog-huge-load-of-80s-90s.html << have a look through some of my posts, a lot of the tapes have expired links tho.
