This is exactly what I was looking for, i’d liked it if dj face would of talked more on the first one, there those funny messages to people been relayed, martin mentioning london road in those out of this world adverts, :D listen to the others when I get the chance. 8-)

I like it they put the date on them, just incase years later someone is listening to the tape turns up at rockingham street/london road

That would be great, I was only thinking of cool/kool the other day, trying to remember as many songs as possible, found 5 songs on youtube, I could get some of the vibe going. 8-)

listening to scr test unknown dj, great voices on this, did bring a tear to my eye hearing all this stuff now others can enjoy them too, though all this stuff was lost chicken song on pitch fm, eastern vibes banging set. 8-) Wonder if someone took the microphone, he said it was broken, i’m sure I remember hearing that on stations having to talk through headphones, forget how good these were.

It's all good innit..The scr test from 89 is 36 years old! Oh my chuffin eck,i feel old. I was 16 when that was recorded (august 1989) .
I've also got a few tapes of move FM Leeds and bounce FM and millennium FM from the 2000's , forgot about them! It's bringing tears to my eyes as well mate..I just wanted people to hear Sheffield pirates and share the joys of pirate radio listening with everyone :tup

it was september 1992 when I got a cd twin casset deck boombox, started to hear fantasy coming through, came through with all noise over the top of it, 8-) i was amazed it was coming all the way from sheffield, i’d be listening in my parents bedroom, didn’t have room of my own. All i had was a few radios, casssets few cds that was it, I loved it i’d carry this stuff round with me, i got to 13 but didn’t grow up afterwards.
Hope these can all go on the pirate archive, I have been wondering about this, not sure cool/kool fm was listed. I found these that I heard on Kool fm 8-)

I’ve got two recordings 25minutes long have the big fm on them, 15minute one of millennium, on one of the tapes there was just this short burst of cool fm, will be good to hear that again, there was also 5 minutes of unity fm huddersfield, 30 seconds of this pirate I think was from Leeds, playing some garage, it had a really good signal on 101.8 in mono, remember hearing all the way down in derby dale.
