A Special WLIR Radio Remix of 'I Dig You'

A Special WLIR Radio Remix of 'I Dig You'

Postby 2Nu » Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:37 am

This is <a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=F37746527ECBBD82" target="blank">a one of a kind over the air broadcast treat</a> captured on audio tape.

Excuse the less than clean sound quality, but grabbing this kind of 'spur of the moment' stuff off the airwaves is somewhat akin to snapping a pic of a coin landing on its edge.

Vintage spontaneous studio magic from a station that 'Dared To Be Different'

Enjoy![8D]

P.S. Any WLIR fans / ex staffers care to provide some background info on this 92.7 gem?[8)]

This started out life, if the rumors I heard back then are to be believed, as a white label pressing circulating in the New York area.

Wonder if it's worth using today's tools to approximate it?

Hmm...

Thanx for the info hubcity[;)]

Pray tell there might still be some vinyl pressings still out there?[8)]

As far as doing a remake.. why not?

I'm sure one or more of our fine Deejays in this forum (including yourself) is up for the challenge![8D]

From what I understand, there were no pressings and the master tape is packed away.
Maybe an important member of the outpost can enlighten us? [;)] (you know who you are)

Either way, I love this mix and it was graciously given to me last year by abacab66. [:D]
