From 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″
