The Underground Recordings

Tuesdays at 7:00pm

Historic WREK programming pulled from our basement archives. Features classic Live@WREK performances from the 1980s and unlabeled tape reels dating back to the late 1960s. Live From WREK has been broadcasting live performances from the WREK studios weekly since 1985. Most of our shows were recorded digitally on Beta video tape with a Sony PCM-501ES encoder and sound as good as the day they were originally broadcast.

In addition to producing a weekly show, the Underground Recordings aims to preserve our archives in more durable media and make them accessible to current and future staff.

You can hear the most recent edition ( 24 kbps or 128 kbps ) of the Underground Recordings online via MP3 streaming right now.

If you have any questions or requests, please contact the show producer at am (a) wrek.org.

(*) denotes performances previously aired on the Underground Recordings.

Schedule is subject to change due to sports conflicts and other exigencies.
