OUR DISCO DJ
REEL TO REEL TAPE COLLECTION
The universe works in mysterious ways! We recently acquired
a reel-to-reel tape deck for our studio so that we could
start offering reel-to-reel tape conversions. A week later,
while browsing the Craigslist classified ads online, I
found a post from a woman looking to have a reel-to-reel
tape collection converted to CD. I contacted her and was so
excited when she told me what the tapes contained.......Her
dad's (DJ MICHAEL LEE) live disco mixes that he recorded
while DJing at various clubs in San Francisco from
1976-1979! She dropped the tapes off to me, I loaded a few
on the reel-to-reel deck, and was completly blown away by
the collection. She was also kind enough to include a stack
of Disco and music magazines from the same era, as well as
her dad's record pool charts. I will be archiving all of
his mixtapes as well as posting his charts and scans of all
of the magazines that she brought to me. This is San
Francisco Disco history! It needs to be preserved for
future generations of Disco fans. We hope you enjoy these
pieces of audio history!
An extra special thanks goes out to Rhani, Michael's
daughter, for holding on to this material and handing the
collection over to me to preserve.
We
have also acquired an additional 220 reel to reel DJ mixes
from the 70's/80's. A large box of cassette DJ mixes are
also coming our way!!!
Be
sure to check out the
SF Disco Preservation photos
page
that we have added as well as the page we have set up to
view
Disco and 80's Hi-NRG music
videos.
The page contains photos of the clubs where a lot of the DJ
mixes were recorded live.
