Great Albums you had but have come up missing over the years

... In fact the sole surviving cassette is a recording of the 1989 Who tour from Radio City Music Hall that was broadcasted over Westwood One - which I think is long gone as well.

"As Keith Moon would have said, 'Show a little RESPECT, it's a #$@#$@# OPERA!!'" The first and probably LAST time the F-bomb would go sailing out over the airwaves of a certain Western Kansas FM station I won't incriminate...

That's my regret for this thread. Working at an AM/FM combo where the FM was a Westwood One affiliate, being able to record some of the best live shows ever broadcast--and not doing it. Not even once. S#it for brains back then, I was.

You didn't play "Who Are You?"

Most of those concerts are probably available online these days. I did record a great Jethro Tull concert around 1988 that was a Westwood One production. Still have the cassette and I think I even know where it is

I made some killer Country mix tapes when i was running the board back around 1989-90. No idea where they are now.

A side benefit of working at a station that ran mostly pre-recorded programming on weekends was that there were always a couple dozen cassette tapes lying around the studio. Once they were aired they were more or less dated material and no one ever asked for them back.

So did Pearls Before Swine.

A friend of mine used to work for Geffen Records in LA. Same story there. Bands would send their demos to Geffen and about 99% of them would end up in the trash after no A&R people would find their music worth pursuing. The employees would grab boxfulls of cassettes and take them home and tape their music over them.

Why not? Cassettes were still king and the good ones were several dollars each if you bought them at the mall

Most of the religious groups sending cassettes in used high quality tapes even though the show was going out on the AM dial.

I heard TDK was the way to go with blank cassettes so thats what I always tried to buy.

I did know that it was never a good idea to buy the no name cassettes you could find at Jamesway or the local supermarket

I am missing Pearl Jam's Ten, and Everything is Wrong by Moby.
