This is brilliant, thanks for that.
Local compilations are always a great mix of bands, most of whom were destined to go nowhere but in glorious style. Even the stuff which kinda doesn't work is still worth hearing in this context.
RX would be everyone's favourite if only anyone had ever heard of them.
Another Stir-ups track here:

I saw the concert that The Quke put on for this one...At The Kabuki Theater in SF...Great show...I smoked two packs of Camels that night and didn't find the girl I was supposed to meet until after the show...Fade To Black became one of my favorite bands (kind of like positive goth?!?!)...just bought the vinyl on e-bay (someone stole it from me in the early nineties)...but thanks for the download!!!

Dude, just wanted to say thanks. It was a dark day when The Quake went off the air.
Thanks a million for this. In '84 I wore a hole in this tape and had a coveted t-shirt with the Quake logo. Tim Bedore, where are you now?
Dang! Download is dead! Too late. Had Robert S, Pop R, Perfect Strangers vinyl. Would love to hear this set. If you want to share email me at rjpa11 (that's RJPA-one-one)@gmail.com
Thanks a million!
Aw hell, TWO million!!
All the downloads are now on the front page!
Enjoy!
Hey gang,
I was one of the original air personalities hired at the Quake.
It was 1982 and I really had no concept that the station would become somewhat of a pioneer regarding "Modern Rock"
Thanks!!
