12 July 2013: it's... 1988

[Big Fingers McGee]

Jeezus H Fucking Christ: uber-uber-uber-LN in either '88 or '89, "FYC.

Hey, a black guy!

Chart action aside, these songs without exception were getting airplay on the FM stations I was listening to in 88/89.  Authentic yes, but I would not call any of these a deep track.

All too true. 5, 7, 8 and 9 were all Top Ten on the pop charts, whereas the rest fall into the LN category. I would agree that this was a pretty shitty set.

What a let-down the past week was... I didn't care much for any of the sets.  Even Wednesday's
1973 was tepid and I found most items to be LN.  And the two 1993 sets within days and
sharing a couple of songs to boot -- inexcusable.  All this mediocrity after some encouragingly
good '60s outings and an apparent change for the better was disappointing.

Agreed -- a very odd turnabout.  This week will tell the tale, methinks.
