I was a hugh WLIR listener from 1981 up until they changed to WDRE. I began listening again when they changed back to WLIR. I am saddened by the recent change of format.
If you're looking for the 80's New Wave songs WLIR used to play then you should check out these CD;s:
I Just Can't Get Enough Volume 1-15 from Rhino Records
Rock & Wave and Pop & Wave series from Sony Records Germany
Living In Oblivion The 80's Greatest Hits EMI Records (I don't know how many volumes there are. I have volumes 2-4)
A 5 double CD set called The Edge which contains long dance versions. The Malibu Dance Club used to play these versions. I ordered it from www.Hottracks.com
On The Edge 2 CD set by Warner Special Products
I also have every Tuesday Night Radio Concert on tape from 1983-1988. I plan to transfer them to CD in the near future
