Raleigh, NC. At a 1988 appearance at the New Pier in lower Mission Valley, Chris Isaak obliged an interview. Isaak’s and the Sivertones were on their bus tour through the south promoting Chris Isaak’s 2nd album. Catch Isaak’s comment concerning his album being released on Compact Disk.
A bright summer afternoon blinded, walking into a dark beer stained music club guided by the sound of an accordion. Chris Isaak is the nicest person. Same person that day he appears to be today. Chrisisaak.com Somewhere in the miles of reel to reel tape, maybe the original cassette has more minutes. Isaak’s tells the story of crying himself asleep on the tour bus engulfed in the emotion of Roy Orbison’s music from the headphones of his Walkman cassette player.
Studio A: This Vintage Podcast is from a Public affairs show airing on the radio in the late eighties. Recorded on Reel to Reel tapes, played for the first time in 30 years. Audio issues occur playing analog tape which has been dormant for so long. Once a large inventory of digitized Reel to Reel tapes has been accomplished, restoration and rerecording can begin.
College Radio Series: In the late 1980’s, Raleigh’s music scene was recognized internationally from Comboland’s success. Even with a vibrant music and club scene, many bands found it hard to get their music on local commercial radio. These Reel to Reel recordings were syndicated over five North Carolina college radio stations in the late eighties. Some of the music is lost, only surviving on albums and studio recordings.
