I was Production Director at WHTG at this time, so I saved a lot of outtakes in recording commercials and promos and such. Here's a compilation of some from a lot of people who will remain nameless.

I first heard Jeff Buckley sing in early 1993 at the Knitting Factory in NYC, completely by accident. And I was transfixed. So when the 'Live at Sin-E' EP came out later that year I was so pleased. I'm glad I got to meet Jeff during one of his visits to WHTG. 

Unfortunately, I don't have a complete tape of a WHTG interview with him. Most of this is an incomplete recording from February 25, 1994 from WHTG, interviewed by Rob Acampora. Tacked on at the end is a little bit of a later visit by Buckley from October 21, 1994 with WHTG's Rich Scroggs.

The bleed-through from our sister AM station was unbelievable on these recordings.

When musicians visit most radio stations for an interview we get them to record a quick station ID. At WHTG, we usually got them to record a generic one, one for all of the full-time DJs, a holiday greeting, and maybe a couple of some of the weekend part-time DJs. Here's a montage of musicians who recorded IDs for WHTG circa 1991-1992, during my first year or two as production director there. Some of them are the final versions heard on the air and some of them are the outtakes (certain DJs names were always hard for artists to pronounce, causing inevitable stumbles).

I've been combing through some boxes of audio cassettes recently and digitizing some of the interesting recordings I come across from my 25+ years in the radio business. Some involve me directly, some involve me only indirectly, and a few I have no idea from where they came.
