47:29 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I taped 1010 WINS news radio on November 7, 1986, hoping to catch the story about ABM magazine. For some reason, I thought I had missed the story, and it wasn’t till several years later that I discovered that I had actually gotten the audio. This is the full audio of that recording – 47 minutes of 1010 WINS from 1986 – very interesting to listen to from a historic perspective. Toward the end of the tape, I break in a few times, overdubbing some audio.

That’s Mike in the interview – they mistakenly call him “Frank”.

1:25:12 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

While “Severe Repair” (meaning something like “extreme travel”) eventually became the name of a science fiction story, it started off as the proposed name of a band project which never happened, and then, as heard on this tape, as an idea for a kind of audio magazine on cassette (which also never happened). Starting on New Year’s Eve 1988, and continuing into New Year’s Day 1989, this tape has a wide range of content, and is a really cool re-discovery for me (as I have little-to-no memory of recording it). –Frank Edward Nora, 4/5/19
