No wimps allowed here. From KDAY's heyday 1985-1988. Home for DJ Aladdin, Dr. Dre, Joe Cooley, Tony G., M-Walk, Julio and others. Note this was a mono AM station! Sonically, they're not up to our usual standards, BUT the mixes more than make up for it. As usual, every effort has been made to achieve optimum sound quality, but priority is given to historical content, importance and rarity. And this just might be your only chance to get these slammin' street dj's when they were young & 'hongry'. Go into this knowing 'dat' and you'll still come away awed. The mixing/cuts/blends are breathtaking and raw!
