Sam Brown – South Side Radio (SSR)
The Legend that is Rap Master Sam Brown’s electro show on South Side Radio (SSR) Thursday nights. Pirate Radio broadcasting most nights – 1983 – 1985. Ariel stuck to radiator, lots of hiss, and not much of Sam Brown speaking, but life would never be the same after hearing these shows for many people.

My god, I’ve just been sucked through an eighties vortex into my early teens, I was a Popper and a Breaker, I used our metal banister to receive a better signal in BOLTON.
Newcleus (Sad news about Chilly B), Man Parrish etc.
I practically wet myself over Chris ‘THE GLOVE’ Taylor & Ice T – Tibetan Jam, at that time no-one had it across the Bolton scene, at the local youth club it’s debut, on my Ghetto blaster, received rapturous response.
I also had all the Street Sound Electro compilations, which were great, but Sam Brown’s broadcast mixes had unusual arrangements and a really original freshness, I would try to edit out the over-lay vocal, with little success, I might add, fond memories and great nostalgia of a carefree era and halcyon time.

Cheers for this, takes me right back. Used to get this over the other side of Salford in Little Hulton when i was 13. South Side Radio had a massive influence on my music taste and still has.
Many thanks,

This was a defining period in my life and changed my music taste. This was priceless radio and i am glad it was there and we found it.
