And then there was none...

Thanks for the analysis Jugdish it was determined that Tape 7 side B of the Jeff Collection had also not been uploaded. I looked on Megaupload and it had no downloads, so...here it is.

And now there are none...until more are unearthed.

Get yur tape 18 side B here...get yur tape 18 side B here

So jugdish was going through his Jeff collection inventory and determined he was missing Tape 18 Side B...he was right. I checked and never had even recorded it onto my drive.

The tape starts off a little slow for me but picks up as it goes along. Some rare not often recordings are on this tape - Susan spins.

Look here

Let me know what you think by leaving a comment - thanks, now officially the Jeff Collection is complete!

And the winner is...

Now that I'm done with the Jeff collection, I've thrown in some of my old tapes that were rejected for some reason when I went through all my tapes over the past two years. I believe I just wanted only full tapes and what I've found now are all mixed up tapes so I thought I'd pull some clips from them and on this particular one, I found a David and David contest winner, Kip Baker of Silver Spring. I hope you don't mind Kip having your name on my blog, let me know if it's a problem.

So, here's the clip to listen to - at 1:58 starts the announcement of Kip Baker winning the contest. Anyone have an idea of the year?

3 months later - almost to the day

...and the chapter ends as it began, with hope, anticipation, joy, memories and any other adjective you and think of to insert personally. On March 12, 2010 I received 14 WHFS tapes from Jeff in Va. Since that time, I have a friend in Jeff and the world has 28 sides of incredible historic memories from the one and only, WHFS. It seems longer than 90 + days ago that I received the package I was waiting for; it took Jeff some time to find a box large enough for the 14 tapes plus I think a trip to South America was planned. So, as you all were waiting for the tapes to be uploaded, for awhile, I was waiting for them to be delivered.

Let's all take this time to thank Jeff for saving these tapes all these years, trusting an Internet shadow with his possession. I am proud to have served him well, as well as hopefully doing justice to the recordings, now safe and sound on the Internet. As you may have recently been made aware of over at Camarillo Brillo; links, websites, subscriptions, servers, etc. are all fallible; so while you can, download, download and download. The more these recordings are preserved on hard drives, iPods, iPads, CDs, flash drives, DVDs, etc. the better we will be and the history of WHFS can be restored and replayed for generations to come.

Okay, a bit deep for some recordings off the radio, but hey, that's why we are here.

Enjoy the last of the Jeff M collection here (Tape 6 side A) and here (Tape 6 Side B) Tape six side b has a new link as of 08.06.10

Signing off for now...but not for good.

Totally 80's

Managed to talk my wife into stopping at the local Goodwill after a very nice lunch at Rib City. She took a siesta with the little one in the car while I went and rummaged. I have a moratorium on buying and because of that was not about to venture into the car with bag full of albums, books, cassettes, etc. So, if I can find time in the next couple of days to make my way back there, I will have to remember where I hid a few treasures. One, was a homemade tape labeled Totally 80's - I was like, I need to have this. So, lets hope the still sealed Anthrax State of Euphoria with the hologram, Naked Eyes and Figures on a Beach albums will still be under the shelving where I hid them when I go back. I should have bought the Totally 80's for the buck as wifey is not so concerned with the money spent as much as the room this stuff takes up. I have a storage full plus a garage full of "stuff" that she wants something done with. For another day...

Speaking of Totally 80's - Here are tapes 15 and 16 - vintage 80's WHFS

1. WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 15 Side A

2. WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 15 Side B

3. WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 16 Side A

4. WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 16 Side B

These tapes have a file name that includes "102.3" in them but according to the writing on the tape, are from 99.1. (I cut and pasted without looking until after the fact - it's all good though).

Go to this post for a little information on these four tapes -

As always, come back for comments and reviews

Shhhh...I'm quietly uploading tapes

So, with the next few posts, the Jeff collection of 14 WHFS tapes from pre-1985 will be done. All tapes have been ingested, uploaded and awaiting reviews after being downloaded. Once this project is complete, I'll be seeking other vintage WHFS tapes to be sent my way.

Thanks to all who have helped identify the songs on these tapes, teamwork is an awesome thing.

To get the WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 17 Side A, go here (Fixed -Thanks Jugdish).

To get the WHFS Jeff Collection Tape 17 Side B, go here

Some of these tapes file name has 102.3 in them but may be 99.1, as in tape 17 is 99.1.

Three more tapes to add. I will say, these four tapes burned this weekend were very enjoyable, had lots of DJ's recapping the music and may have been overall my favorite four. Some are WHFS from 99.1, maybe that's why.

Always, please leave your comments. Off to Rib City in Naples.
