Voltage Brothers - Throw Down (1978)



                                Funk/Dance Group out of Rochester NY {i believe..}
                                       
                                                       Good Late 70's Funk,
                                              but i can't help giving an opinion,
                                that the Disco-ish tunes on this LP (while very enjoyable,)                                                                      were sounding a little 'Dated' by then,..
                                                  ..Even by '1978' Standards...
                                     {i.e.; .. the "Philly Soul Sound"  Went 'Out'  after 1976..}

WNOK 105 - Columbia, SC.
May 7, 1983



                     Here's a Treat for all of you Columbia South Carolina Residents,
                                                  ..who are more likely in the 45-55 y.o. Range for this...

          I found Old Dirty Cruddy 8 Track Tapes at the bottom of a Box at a Junk Store..
       and one of them, was this homemade recording from someone (in Col. SC obviously..)
                        taping snippets off of  105 WNOK Top40 Radio  back then...
               i won't get into what i had to do to make this playable after all these years,
                                    but i fixed the damn thing so i can transfer it.
                                           {you can see the actual transfer in progress a few posts ago,...
                                                             ...i know, like anyone gives a shit...lol..
                 
                                 ... surprising  that someone was still messing with '8track tapes' in "1983"}

                                 It becomes Very Apparent early in the broadcast
                                       that it was taped off of the radio in 1983...
                                            and towards the end, the actual date
                          is indirectly revealed in a "Jewelry Warehouse" commercial....

 {also,..if someone can find me the 'old 105 WNOK logo' from the Early 80's, let me know in the comment section...thx}
                                           
                                            Note : Dare i mention the Obvious,..
                          though i did my best during the Transfer & Digital Clean-up,
                              This Recording by its Nature,  is Less than 2nd rate,
                                       Excerpts, Abrupt Stops between Songs,
                                          ...& Tape Hiss Galore..lol....enjoy!
