The Listeners' Archive
As part of 6 Music's Cassette season, Steve Lamacq unveils the results of The Listeners' Archive project, which aimed to recover the lost gems of the 成人快手's cassette archive.
Steve Lamacq unveils the results of The Listeners' Archive project to recover the lost gems of the 成人快手's cassette archive.
Across the UK, listeners were asked to scour their lofts, garages and cupboards for tapes, cassettes and other recordings of 成人快手 radio programmes from 1936 to 2000, and handed them in at 成人快手 Centres around the UK on 'Amnesty Day' in mid October.
Since then, a team of engineers have been restoring these programmes to their former glory, at the 成人快手's historic Maida Vale studios.
Steve presents the cassette edit of the collection, speaking to the listeners who preserved sessions, interviews and charts throughout the years. He finds out what musical moments made them press the "rec" button.
And 6 Music will celebrate the cassette further next month, with a documentary devoted to this format.
