The Steve Dahl Audio Vault

This will be a gift for all those fans of The Stever and of The Steve Dahl Audio Vault. Last week I received this email:

Hello,

From March of 1982 to 1984 I recorded Steve and Garry on cassettes. I worked for [name omited] in 1990. He said he was part of the management team at WDAI that brought Steve Dahl to Chicago. He gave me a cassette aircheck from around March of 1978. I dubbed the cassette to 10″ reels before giving the cassette back. I do not know how many cassettes there are, but everything weighs 44lbs. I am doing some house cleaning and I would like to give these tapes to someone who would enjoy them. I found your website and it looks like you might be interested in them. Would you be interested in them for the cost of shipping? I would not want them back. I could just hand them over to you.

I started out recording on Maxell and TDK Chrome, but switched to cheaper cassettes due to cost. I recorded mainly from around 5:00pm – 7:00pm.

And this is the result of that conversation…

There’s gotta be over 500 tapes here!!!  The reel-to-reels are at the bottom of one of the boxes. It may take a while to get through them. I have listened to a couple of tapes and the quality is excellent, save a slight speed difference between tape decks which is fixable with software, and they are completely scoped. I am currently listening to a rebroadcast (from just after John’s death) of the Celebrity Jeopardy with John Bleushi. I know of one other tape of this show so this should fill in some blanks. There’s so much good stuff here, I don’t know where to begin.

So, a HUGE shout-out to Greg in Springfield, IL for thinking of all of us.  Stay tuned…

If you have any Steve Dahl tapes, please read this.

PS – IT’S STARTING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS…Holiday posts will begin soon and often. I am trying to pull some December tapes from these boxes.
