Waxer’s Tape Rips – UK Hip Hop Radio Tape 11
Posted by Waxer | Posted in Audio, Capital Rap Show, Tape Rips, UK Hip Hop Radio Shows, Westwood | Posted on 20-06-2009
So my children here is another slice of vintage UK Hip Hop radio, this time it’s a double helping of Mr Timothy Westwood, dated 24th February 1989 & March 3rd 1989, here’s a scan of the front of the inlay:
I think I might have said in an earlier post, that when I used to tape radio shows sometimes I’d be akip and wouldn’t pause the tape, which meant the adverts would still be in, so I used to do these pause button mixes over the adverts, and this tape has 2 such pony mixes, one at about 38 minutes and another around 1 hour… I fully own up to exceptionally bad editing, out of time pauses and THE SHITTEST scratching man has ever witnessed!
There are some other funny moments in the tape, with Westwood classically mis pronouncing names, such as “Skeezo” instead of Stezo, and “Trugay the dub dave” instead of Trugoy from De La Soul, bless him! There’s also a couple of Break to the beat version excursions on this one, I enjoyed ripping it! Enjoy another trip into the foggy mists of the early days of UK Hip Hop!
