A Roddus Music Sampler Volume 04 - The Roots Of Roddus

Hi Folks, Roddus here again. The other day I was thinking about another playlist and I started to remember the sort of music that first blew me away when I was entering my teenage years. When I was 12, my Nana gave me one of those new transistor radios (remember, one of those little radios not much bigger than a cigarette packet). Anyhow, I use to put it next to my pillow at night as I was trying to go to sleep and tuned it to one of the only two or three radio stations we had avaliable here back then. Now although this was a Commercial AM station, after about 10pm they closed the local broadcast and piped a transmission from up north which played all night alternative sounds. The presenter called himself Dr Rock, I think, and the sounds that he played floored me totally, I heard stuff i would never have heard on daytime radio and it set my musical tastes for many years to come. A lot of the tracks also were not avaliable on local release and the combination of it being late at night and the exotic nature (to me) of the music was very exciting. The first part of this Sampler are some of the tracks I will never forget hearing for the first time on that radio show. The second half are tracks from around the same time but heard from other sources. So here it is folks "The Roots Of Roddus" Music sampler. Enjoy.
