Radio Interview from '91 on WFNX Boston

Post by cec772 »

Sorry if this gets posted twice
(I first tried to post in 'Chip Away' forum but I don't think it was successful)

I was a huge Jane's Addition fan in College (Early 90's) and came across a cassette with a 1 hour radio interview they did in Boston on WFNX (101.7) which I taped off of the radio in my dorm room. I think it is from early 1991. (guessing by the promotions of Fitchberg and Great Woods shows that were advertised during it)

Anyway, I joined this site to check if anyone here has heard it, if it's already posted somewhere, or if it's considered rare.
I'm happy to convert to MP3 if it's not already posted somewhere, but I'm not very good at cleaning up bad audio so I expect someone else would have done a better job than me already. I just so wanted to check first before going through the effort of converting from cassette to MP3.

I don't think it's particularly groundbreaking, and I seem to remember being somewhat disappointed by the whole event, but I still wanted to make sure it was preserved/available for anyone interested.

I look forward to hearing your collective wisdom....

Sorry for going MIA.
I'm back now and have converted the tape to MP3.
Unfortunately there is an audio gap at ~46 minute mark because I ran out of tape and switched sides.

It is temporarily located here:
(I think link expires after 7 days for the free service)

Let me know if you know a better/more permanent way to share or post it.
(Or hopefully someone who takes a copy can help with that)

Thanks.

I am impressed with this, very nice, thank you very much. The speed is fast however, I think I'll slow it down and repost the edit soon.

I think you mean somewhere the link won't expire?
Or maybe you mean somewhere you can just stream online?
Note: it's about 60mb and I mentioned I don't know the best way to share it.
If you have exact details on how, please let me know.
Or perhaps you would even be so kind to help with that effort?

I also agree with the previous comment about it being a bit fast. I didn't notice at the time but now that you pointed it out I can see it.

Finally getting around to listening to this. Bummed to discover that I've already heard the interview bits. The Perry parts are taken from the ol' Words & Music promo. The Perkins parts are from a WFNX radio special that originally aired a year earlier, 11/23/1990. Still cool, I guess.
