TIME IS MEASURED FROM MIDNIGHT, NOT DAYLIGHT!

After an hiatus we are finally mastering more 'new' Midnight Dread programs from late summer and fall of 1984. The latest features an amazing interview with US born Puma Jones of Black Uhuru (webcast here) first aired on August 12th, 1984 along with the Dread Thirteen lps for that month. The next of these recent masters is a three and a half hour edition featuring the latest Dread Thirteen 45s and a massive preview of the upcoming '84 Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Both programs lead the availability list below. Thus the first publication anywhere of the playlists from shows continues, which begin in January 1984, the key transition year when the show moved from KTIM to KQAK and the local reggae scene heated up with more and more regular live concerts. Check the Midnight Dread store for crucial cds of these amazing time capsules when classic, progressive roots reggae ruled the roost and the airwaves.

MIDNIGHT DREAD began as a reggae radio show with its first regular airing September 30th, 1979 on KTIM FM in San Rafael, California. It began broadcasting weekly on March 17th, 1980, two weeks after Mikey Dread's legendary appearance on Midnight Dread that gave birth to many of the program's distinctive jingles and drop-ins. It ran continuously from 1979 to 1985 on KTIM and then KQAK, 'The Quake' in San Francisco starting on March 4th, 1984. It then continued in various forms on KUSF and KFOG -both in San Francisco- until the mid-90s.
