Show – December 2, 1993
Sounds like this is right about when we started firmly sitting in the old Raw Deal chair and began to really “produce” the show. J holds the down the hosting duties this evening. The first Ace Slaughter intro debuts. The Muck Men visit the show to premiere “Run Amuck” and fall victim to the very wack guest booth mic. Sorry ’bout that fellas. I wonder what they’re up to? Shouts to Mt. Holly!

Show – 1995
D kicks off the show in hectic fashion with Soulfingas on the other side of the glass. Artist Soma (“Causin’ Mass Hysteria”) pays a visit to PRB and hips us to all of his projects. Seyfu arrives to give a RIP to his grandmother and takes set#2.
Apologizes for fuzziness…we recorded all shows off the air instead of a clean board output (don’t even ask). Being too close to the local transmitter (the big one was down) and in a basement isn’t always a recipe for butter sounds.
Part 1 – D goes dolo…
Part 2 – …and that ni–a Seyfuuuuuu!
Brought to you by Global…
Show – sometime in 1993 (so says the West Coast Jawn…much thanks for the critical ears!)
Hmmm… there’s a line between sponsorship and being “bought”. Not sure what side of the line we were on on this particular week. I hope Global (‘sup Darren!) was happy with the show because they apparently paid for it. Hey at a college station, you’ll take all the revenue you can get, nahmeen? This might also be one of the longest shout-out lists ever…it just keeps going. In the spot: J, D.Groovy, Seyfu, Corey Blunt. This was also on an old Maxell UR 120 minute tapes. The actual tape is really really thin and you could get them for about $1. I’m shocked it still plays.
Corey Blunt comes thru with the uptown flavors…
Shouts to Sunburn
This is just a break at the end of a show. We must have had to break down turntables or something at the end because the music was strictly non-mixed radio fades so I didn’t include it. Seemed too copyright infringe-y not to mention boring.
But what IS included is an example of what happens when you don’t answer the phones and/or write down the shout outs yourself but you try to read them anyway…disaster. So enjoy as Seyfu tries to recover from mistakenly calling a listener named Sun Born…Sun BURN. Belly laughs, jokes, (and poetry) follow as the show descends into pure chaos. Classic V&V.
Ryan’s Lost Tapes
Show – Summer 1996
Ryan sent this one in via the blog piece. Since I usually name the shows by the content in the breaks, this is a tough one. Regardless…here’s your commercial (and break) free 1996-type flavas. I’m guessing this is a DJ Yaseen set. I’ma need some help on this one…Ryan?

Return of the Groovy Man
Show – November 9, 1995
Hagos and D hold it down for the evening…despite the cold medicine and sniffles. D.Groovy gets to spin a couple of sets…not sure if that was good thing. Enjoy

What Happens in Miami…
Show – Fall 1995
Corey Blunt reports about ODB making his presence felt at the “How Can I Be Down?” conference in Miami. D and Hagos do the hosting. The “BK crew” swing by and let off some teenage energy to close the show…yes.

C(lassic) Blunt
Show – June 22, 1995
Just simply a great set by Corey Blunt, unfortunately we join it somewhere in the middle. Spinning isn’t always about tricks and effects and whatnot. A good set is a good set: selection, blends, and continuity…especially given the spinning-unfriendly ‘PRB studio. I present to you Exhibit A.
Part 1 – DJ Corey Blunt
Part 2 – Sey subs in
The Wayback Machine
Show – late 1992ish
J, Seyfu and ESV host (with Karlyn guest-lurking in the back somewhere). This is an old school set for the books. You won’t hear them like this anymore.
Part 1 – J kills ‘em with his crates.
Part 2
Too many hosts not enough mics
Show – Winter 1993
There’s about 10-15 mins of news, commercials, and shoutouts in the beginning but just the mere fact that we rocked the ABC news feed with Zulu War Chant underneath is pure Vibes on a Thursday night. When you don’t get paid you just might do anything.
J’s Sandbox Crew from the Bx is in the house, Care Bear, Ace, the B.U.M.S., Corey Blunt, Sey-boogie, J, and D Groovy all crowded into that tiny funky basement studio…even KJ does some shoutouts.
Part 1 – R.I.F.
Part 2 – How many brothers does it take to give away tickets?
