Back To The 70's


Recommended Posts

what i really miss from the 70s is radio. there is no station now whose playlist is similar to that of rj-fm and rj-am in the 70s and 80s. iba talaga (santana, joni mitchell, csny, led zep, mclaughlin, bong penera, boy camara, etc...really eclectic, a heady mix of rock and jazz at its finest with a bit of folk and r&b plus pinoy rock to boot). bob magoo's voice was something...same to dodie lacuna, brother wayne and jing magsaysay of wwk (where jazz has never sounded better). they also had a great playlist, and their female newscaster (forgot her name) had great diction. cds may sound clearer but i really prefer vinyl records. pure, real and unadulterated.

DWWK-FM was 101.9. Very good reception. I used to tape some music here on our 4 channel AKAI open reel recorder. Buhay pa yung open reel tape deck, pero sira na.

 

In 1974, my parents bought an AKAI 4-channel surround stero with open reel tape recorder. It was a blast. That's the first time I heard music played backwards. In a 4-channel recording, all 4 tracks are used in 1 direction that when you play side b, you get 'backward masking'. Eeerie.

Remember Queen's 'Another one bites the dust' ----- you'll hear 'It's fun to hit marijuana' when played backwards..

Di ba, pareng storm, yung FF (fighting fish) o bomba movies noon, e nasa reel pa? Na wala sound? Wala pang betamax noon! :lol: :lol:

Lumabas ang betamax nung 1978. Wala ng curfew noon. :D

 

Uso pa rin ang mga tipar. Uso rin ang mga vodka and 'brownies' for pica-pica :rolleyes:

rock on, pare!

do you remember RJ's sister station sa FM nuon - DZUW? That's where I heard all these non-commercial jazz from Chick Corea, Weather Report, Larry Coryell, Mahavishnu while the other stations were playing Joe Sample, Alphonse Mouzon, Chuck Mangione, Bob James and others of their ilk :D

now kahit commercial jazz station wala na...

 

 

hey, I still have and still buy a lot of vinyl records - I scoop up all these ECM records pag may nakikita ako....

Bro, wala na akong turn table e. Pero I really liked the music of Chick Corea, Weather Report, Larry Coryell, Mahavishnu. Me cd ka ba niyan?

of course...i thought for a while some years back that kiss-fm would emulate wwk's playlist, or rj-fm would be revived. remember sometime in the early 80s when rj suddenly changed its playlist...i woke up one morning hearing "body rock" and thought, teka, mali ata ang sinalang na plaka. but as the day went on, nag iba ang tugtog talaga, panay pop. then i was told that someone took over rj pala, the group that owns mellow touch 94. fortunately, a few months later mukhang bumalik kay rj ang station niya sa jmt bldg sa sta. mesa.

 

it's disappointing na wala ng station ngayon that plays 70s, 80s rock. to their credit, nu is good, pero parang bitin pa rin. as you wrote, where can we hear chick corea, mahavishnu orchestra, weather report? iba na rin ang playlist ng ctlite 88 and crossover. hindi rin talaga jazz. i've had my fill of new age.

 

collector ka ba? you may want to visit the basement of makati cinema square. there's a shop there that has thousands. used to collect, but sold it to another collector kasi i needed the dough. hope to start one again.

Or nakatape na sa open reel or cassettes.

 

Usong drinks sa mga tipar e PUNCH :cool:

Lakas ng tama kapag daming vodka inilagay. Hindi halata. :P

actually maganda ang tunog ng reel to reel, and many radio stations still use this. pati nga yung 8-track cartridge in use pa, especially for ads and plugs. remember the jeepneys and the yellow minibuses on edsa with lots of tweeters, with their windshield view obstructed by these cartridges. tapos red or green lights. minsan makikita mo yung sa tabo mo lumalaklak ng corex o tikoy (tricodin)!!!

 

we used to make a drink called mestiza (one white castle lapad, one bottle of san mig, 1 bottle of sprite, konting calamansi, lots of ice). sweet and did not taste strong. before you knew it, hilo ng ang mga chicks!!!

we used to go at COD during the holidays to watch the audio animatronic presentation display. meron pa bang display sa COD every christmas season?

Sa alam ko, wala na yung COD. There's a different store there now. Matagal na rin wala yung Christmas shows nila. But that used to be an event every December. Crowds would gather outside COD to watch. At some time, COD even had those dancing mannequins.

 

The Cubao of the 1970s:

 

Assandas

Rempson's

Quezon Theater

Cinema 21

Queens Supermarket

Nation Theater

Commander Drug

San Mig sa Ali Mall

 

Expansion occurred in the latter half of the 1970s with the completion of Rustan's and Ali Mall. Today, the Araneta Center is going through reinvention, not just renovation. Nagiging sosyal na. The old Fiesta Carnival has been converted to Shop Wise, and there's construction on a large mall that will connect LRT2 to the MRT.
