***A note to air check traders. Please do not record these air checks and try and trade. I have the original tapes many of which I recorded myself and thus the authenticity can not be in doubt and can be easily traced.
The first air check is from Detroit AOR station WLLZ FM from 1982 and a program called Night Rocks where local free form and alternative music is played including Bob Seger’s first national hit and also the Stooges and more.
The second clip is recorded off LP and to the eight track pictured below. The song is Looking at Tomorrow by the Beach Boys. I heard the track on Sirius XM Deep Tracks yesterday which prompted me to dig out the album to test the recording capabilities of the machine.
The final clip is from easy listening stations CKQT FM in Oshawa and CHAY FM in Barrie. This is from an eight track from 1979 and was transferred to digital via the machine below.
I got lucky with two vintage thrift store purchases last week when I picked up the Pioneer eight track and the Akai cassette decks pictured below. Both were left for dead and had issues that were fixed without much difficulty and with the help of some You Tube videos.
