So, it seems those in Philly had WKDU in the 70s & 80's just as those of us in the DC area had WHFS. I had never heard of this station but from listening to the only tape sent I like what I heard. There's no DJ's on this upload, and as Jeff said, who would have known years later it would have cool to have the DJs, but the music speaks to their non-conformance to pop-top 40 stations.
From Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKDU
WKDU is an award winning non-commercial college radio station located in Philadelphia, USA, broadcasting on 91.7 FM. It is owned and operated by Drexel University students, with several Drexel alumni among its on-air staff. It is the only free-format non-commercial FM station in Philadelphia.
WKDU's musical format is free-form, meaning that playlists are dictated solely by the taste of the on-air DJs. On an average day, one might hear punk, electronica, indie rock, acid jazz, J-pop or metal.
