WAPS 1990
During summer and fall of 1990 I sometimes recorded
WAPS
blindly (deafly?), unattended, for later listening... Akron, Ohio,
89.1 FM in those days
(91.3 now),
run by high school students but with a better playlist than that offered
by most college stations of the time. I kept the best tapes, and these
are some of the best songs from those best tapes. Some I purchased,
others I didn't, but either way they'd probably be difficult to find
today, even if I could remember all the names...
But... yay! Years later, I've been able to find many of them on
youtube.
