Me and many other rap fiends used to relgiously dub the rap shows, on capital 95.8

This one is off of the capital Rap Show.  Tim Westwoods legendary spot on Capital FM,  must be from around 88- 89  I think it's the S1W's from Public Enemy doing a radio sound bite for Westwood's show...  if you used to listen to this show & remember the clip, I'd be interested to hear from you.

Obsessed with dubbing music off the radio from the mid 80's right through to the late 90's this is a classic example of why it was worth all the pause-play-record action!!
One of david rodigans best ever radio space fillers....I loved this one.  Dubbed it off the radio in about 1990- 91.   Big-up the ram-jam-man, each & every time! Respect Due.

Music fan. Uploading for nostalgia.  Here you'll find classic pieces of sound stolen from the radio during a period of obsessive tape dubbing.  Some of it  goes back to the late 80's. Mostly I'll put it on here for the various jingles & sound bites promoting the shows that appeared in the spaces between tracks.
