Saved the best for last!



Attention - false report of last tape found! The Fat Lady has now sung! And the best seemed to have been left for last! What a tape from 102.3; great songs and great DJ music recaps. Tape 1 side A is from late 1982 and includes XTC, Lina Lovich, U2, The Fixx, Garland Jeffreys, Iggy Pop, B-52's, X, The Kinks and English Beat. This is an afternoon drive time set according to the DJ, the time was after 3PM. Tape 1 side A


Crazy to think we are ending this 14 tape set with tape 1; how unconventional can we get? Well, since we are talking WHFS- it's fitting, eh?


Friday - Christmas Eve 1982, just before 5PM. The Roxy Music, The Reindeers, Elvis Costello after hard cut we get Sarah on Saturday - Susie and the Banshees, The Undertones, Jaleeb then a great music recap leads to The English Beat, Psychedelic Furs, and XTC to fade.

Now, closing sentiments please.

Ok, I count 28 side for 14 tapes, it looks like that's everything! The Garland Jeffries is a nice surprise, he may have been forgotten over the years, or at least by me. Thanks again for all your efforts!

I was toying with you and the others. NOT. Glad you all kept me on my toes - I think it worked out better this way and was more fun, at least for me. Now going hunting for the next set of historic WHFS tapes. If anyone has some, let me know.

Hey GC! Got one more tape..going to try and send this weekend. Has WHFS on one side with Damien and the other side is a WKDU, an indie station in Philly, back in the early 80's. The tape has no DJ, but lots of lost gems...

Thanks! Used to listen to HFS in the early 80s, mostly while going to art school in NOVA Alexandria, plus other recreational activities in NoVa.
