1986 Shows
1986
1986 was the year of UK Fresh and Mike's show was now well established and in it's prime. There were some changes to the schedule, the Friday night show remained at 10pm -1am, whilst in March 1986 the Saturday night show moved from 10pm-Midnight to a 8pm-10pm slot, the Sunday night show was dropped.
Chuck Chill's New York Juice Report was introduced at some point in 1986, the earliest recording I have is from Saturday 22nd March but then this is the first full Saturday show I have from this year so I presume it had been going on for a while before this date.
The first half of 1986 is certainly the period that I have best covered with many full shows recorded from this time, including the adverts! For some reason as the year progressed the recordings become less frequent. I'm not sure why as I was still listening to the show regularly, maybe I had run out of tapes, a common problem for a Hip Hop hungry teenager in the 80's!
A couple of highlights from this year are the DJ Cheese & Word of Mouth session that was broadcast on Saturday 15th March 1986, a classic set that still sounds good to this day. Also the infamous UK Fresh 86 concert that was broadcast over the August bank holiday.
