This is a great vid. Thank you!


I can only dream about what kind of culture this was. Would I have been a part of it? Would I walked the streets with my head held high and my GE boombox bangin new beats? I always wondered.

Nice find. I remember those days. We use to sit by the radio in North Jersey (Patterson, NJ) making pause button mixes from 97 Kiss FM, WBLS, and WHBI. In South Jersey (Camden, NJ) we did the same thing to the Philly stations WDAS and POWER 99 FM. New Jersey.....North Jersey picked up the New York Station and South Jersey got the Philly Stations. Trenton, NJ was in the middle you had the best of both worlds ...you got both Philly and New York Station. It was a paradise for your boombox or home stereo set with an 8Track or cassette recorder.
