AnalogPlanet Radio

Today’s Analogplanet.com radio show consists entirely of 12” singles and E.P.'s, mostly at 45rpm. These were popular throughout the 1980s and often featured unique remixes, extended versions and unreleased tracks.

However, even if just the album track, at 45rpm spread out across the entire record surface, the sound is usually far superior to the standard LP version, particularly if the track was originally located near the end of the side.

You can stream this show and last week’s at the WFDU.fm website by selecting “HD2 Archives” under the “Listen” tab at the top of the page. Or you can stream and/or download from the embedded Soundcloud player below. Analogplanet likes when you stream from the FDU.fm site because the station counts the clicks.
