Rae - Another Day (Mike Allen Bootleg)

Between 1985 and 1988 there was a radio show broadcast in the UK that introduced the kids of the day to real Hip HopMusic. It originally started on Capital Radio , was hosted by Mike Allen and was called the Capital Rap Show.  It was then picked up by the TDK cassette company and turned into a national show, National Fresh, syndicated on local stations. I used to record the show religiously on Friday evenings on one cassette, rotating sides every weeks so that I had one week on one side and the previous weeks on the other side
This is one of the final two weeks of the show before it was axed by TDK after the financial crash in 1987/1988.

80s Street Jams Vol 2

"Hearing this podcast of Mike Allen's Capital Rap show instantly took me back to my early teenage years; hearing his voice and the choice of cuts he played bought the memories flooding back. Mike Allen show really was the soundtrack to my life back then. I would religiously tape his shows and i wasn't alone amongst my friends. We all did! The tapes were played and tunes discussed, getting played to death on ghetto blasters whilst friends perfected their breaking moves. This is where my passion and love for music really started to show. I couldn't break but boy I wanted to have all the tunes in my tape collection! 

Getting up to London to buy records was just out of reach but I was fortunate enough to buy some killer electro 12" from Groove in Soho. Just going up there was a pilgrimage. This was a shop I always wanted to visit and that first experience is a cherished memory. I also got my first taste of a youth fashion at that time. The whole look we wore was all part of that soundtrack: Tacchini tracksuits, Split Louis cords, Fila BJ's, Lacoste polo shirts etc. Labels came in and out of fashion but the look just suited the music perfectly."
– Dave Cawley, FatCat Records.
 
Thanks Jon Simmonds for allowing us to share this show with you. Jon runs a website dedicated to keeping the Mike Allen shows alive and the music he played. Go visit the website and get an insight into how important Mike show was back then.
 
“This show was broadcast on Saturday 10th May 1986, it includes a Allen's Army Frontline Chart which was a chart voted for by the listeners voting for their favourite records. This show includes 'Techno Scratch' by Knights of the Turntables, 'Ultimate III Live' and 'Running' by Information Society and a Egyptian Lover track so some classic electro/hip hop sounds of the time. The show does contain some adverts. Mike even talks about the line up for the upcoming UK Fresh 86 gig at Wembley on July 19th, so a real snapshot of the time.”
