First in series of about 70 UK Hip Hop Radio Tape Rips Hip Hop 2 Side A
on December 21st, 2008 at 10:07 pmFrom about ’88 I actually started to keep the tapes I was recording from the radio and not just recycling the same ten tapes over and over. The result is 70 or so tapes, filled with a mix of Westwood (Capital FM), Max LX & Dave VJ, Richie Rich & Dave Pearce. Most of the tapes have reliable dates on them with tracklistings so it won’t just be a load of pony untitled tapes.
The first one that I kept was just titles “Hip Hop 1″ and that stayed throughout the course of all the tapes. Unfortunately in my infinite wisdom I decided to rip that one about 6 months ago then chuck the tape, but have since lost the recording (what a bell end) so the series starts with “Hip Hop 2″

Great Graf, eh?
