The Ramberg Tapes
back to mrk.land
As a kid i loved popular music and i was fascinated by radio. At age 5 or 6, in the late 1960s, i learned how to operate my parents reel-to-reel tape deck in order to play the two current pre-recorded tapes they had recently bought: Simon & Garfunkel's Bookends and The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band. From there it grew, listening to top 40, following rock radio and collecting records.

Twenty years later, this led me to a career working in radio and as a manager of the local record store. One thing that happened regularly when working in radio was looking at the page telling me what to play and seeing a spot (a commercial) coming up in a minute and not finding the tape in the control room. I would have to RUN down the hall to the production room to grab the tape, sometimes right as the editing was being finished. On those long overnight DJ shifts, as i was running tapes and LPs down the halls of the radio station trying to get them cued up before the song ran out, i imagined other ways to store music. I had studied computer science in college and i had some pretty outlandish ideas. I imagined a computer with some kind of permanent, very, very large floppy disk with audio files stored on it digitally. I imagined ways this would make it easier to transfer the music (and commercials) that at the time we had to walk from room to room on tape cartridges. I even went so far out to imagine having access to my large record collection at home via a connection through a phone wire. I was, however, put off by how many millions and millions of kilobytes of storage would be needed. That felt utterly unattainable.

When i was 9 years old, a young couple, fresh out of school, moved in down the street from us. Mary and Charles Ramberg quickly became good friends with my parents and became friends and mentors of mine as well. They were civil rights workers, she was an organizer and he was a lawyer; they did incredibly important work, did it well, and became somewhat well known. I admired them greatly and learned a lot from them. In addition to lessons about life, politics and civil rights, Charles was a cyclist and i learned an enormous amount about cycling from him, from how to ride safely in traffic to what the Tour De France was. I rode my first three centuries with Charles, an experience i cherish.

When he was in law school, in Washington DC from 1968 to 1971, Charles recorded rock radio (WMOD, WMAL, WETA, WAVA) off the air onto quarter inch reel-to-reel tapes. He did a little editing, but largely each tape was a continuous multi-hour period of late sixties underground rock radio. It is an amazing collection. That was clearly an important time in music, as well as an interesting time in the news. In 1988 he had nine reels remaining, but he didn't have a reel-to-reel deck. He asked me to transfer them to cassette. I was quite excited. Obviously a collection from that time period was pretty thrilling.

This was going to be fun. I bought three cases of high quality blank cassettes at the record store where i worked. I took my parents 25 year old reel-to-reel deck and a new high quality cassette deck, did some very creative wiring and got it all to work. I spent several weeks transferring the reels to cassette. I did quite a bit of editing when i made the copies. I moved songs and sets around to fit on the 45 minute side of a cassette. I left out about 25% of the songs due to space reasons. The vast majority left out were duplicates or were songs that (at the time in the late 1980s) were so wildly familiar and popular that they weren't necessary in this collection. I did pretty well; however i have discovered some duplicates slipped through and i see on the lists, a handful of songs i left out that i now wish i had not. Through all of that i tried to keep the original stations' music sets intact as much as possible.

During his recording, Charles cut out most of the DJ breaks. When i made the tape to tape transfer, i, unfortunately, cut out all the remaining breaks. I don't know why i did that, especially since i was actually a DJ at the time! I do remember that there were some interesting comments. In addition there were some amazing news bulletins that i should not have edited out, like Kent State -- i'm quite disappointed i didn't keep those. The ads would be really fun today, but if i remember correctly, there were no ads on the reels. It's possible Charles edited them out during recording, but maybe there just weren't any on the air, since progressive rock radio in those days was not seen as profitable and operated mostly as a public service! (See my essay about WZZQ, one of the original rock radio stations.)

Before i started the tape to tape transfer i made detailed lists of the tracks on each reel. When Charles first recorded his reels he took some rough notes on song titles. I did a lot of work trying to accurately name every song and artist. I had some resources, as i was in the industry, both a DJ and working at the record store. At the record store i was the person they turned to when they needed to remember a song name or artist name (even the owners would ask me), so a lot of it came out of my head. But i also used Charles' notes, i used the big encyclopedic song index books we had at the shop and i even plumbed the brain of my co-workers at the radio station and the owners of the shop. I certainly didn't get them all identified and i wasn't always right, but in retrospect i think i did rather well for the time. From those lists i was able to make a playlist to accompany each cassette of the songs on it and which reel (and radio station) it came from. After all the reels were done transferred, i labeled the cassettes #1 to #16. There were a few blank cassettes left over and i put recordings of a few of my radio shows on them to complete the pod of 24 tapes. I named the entire set 'The Ramberg Tapes' and when i returned the reels to Charles, i presented him with a wrapped cube, two 12 tape boxes of cassettes with detailed lists for each tape.

Soon after i gave the tapes to him, Charles & Mary and their 3 young children went on a long summer road trip. When he returned Charles was effusive in his excitement about the tapes and how much he, and the whole family enjoyed them. He added that he didn't expect to like my radio shows much but was surprised. And he was thrilled that on one of them i played The Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law. I believe he continued to listen to all of the tapes regularly after that. Sadly Charles Ramberg died, quite suddenly, in 1989 of a brain tumor. Mary thanked me again for The Ramberg Tapes before she and the kids moved out of state. I bought Charles' car from Mary and eventually drove that little 1975 Toyota across the country myself. I hope their kids discovered and enjoyed The Ramberg Tapes when they were teenagers.

I also made a set of tapes for myself. I made identical copies of tapes #1 through #11. Tapes #12 to #16, were mostly folk music and at the time i wasn't interested but i'm a little disappointed i didn't copy them. I did however, take a selection of songs from those 5 tapes and made two more tapes (Tapes #17 & #18), just for me. Those two never went to Charles. I greatly enjoyed my copies of The Ramberg Tapes. I found a great validation when hearing personal favorites among the collection. But more importantly i learned so much! I found a number of artists that i wanted to explore further, such as Ultimate Spinach and so much more. In fact this project is how i discovered some of my all time favorite artists: Phil Ochs and The Chad Mitchell Trio, to name but two. I bought some Phil Ochs records because of this project but not Ultimate Spinach. That wasn't possible. Back in 1988 we could only hear music that the record companies made available and the vast majority of Sixties music, including at least two thirds of this collection, was out of print and there was no possibility of getting them. So this collection was amazingly exciting.

I listened to 'The Ramberg Tapes' frequently and they quickly became my regular choice in the car. My friends and co-workers were fascinated and jealous. My record shop co-worker Doug borrowed one tape and left it in the sun. The case melted. He was afraid to return it to me, but i was impatient and insistent. When he showed it to me, he was in tears, but using a few tools, i was able to remove the tiny reel of tape from the melted cassette body and place it in a new cassette thereby saving the tape! Doug was hugely relieved. He loved those tapes.

As part of the job at the record shop i sometimes worked backstage at arena concerts we promoted. I was the 'runner' -- local knowledge and errand running mostly. A year or so after i made the tapes, i worked a 'Metallica' concert with 'The Cult' as the opening act. In the early afternoon the road manager asked me to meet two people in the parking lot and take them to a racquetball court. I called the local YMCA and made reservations and drove across the parking lot. The tape that happened to be in my car that day was Ramberg Tape #2, which is mostly The MC5 -- straight off of 1969 Washington radio.

I drove up to the tour bus in my little 1975 Corolla (which had been Charles' car!). A well dressed short haired guy got off and got in the backseat, friendly and chatty. (The manager.) And then this pale monster with butt length hair in a huge mat got off the bus and stumbled, squinting, into the front seat of my little beat up Toyota. He cowered down and moaned. He didn't make any sound the rest of the short ride but when we got to the racquetball center he stumbled out, looked back into the car at me and growled, "MC5 is the freakin' balls man!" He didn't say freakin'. It was Ian Astbury.

When i returned to pick them up a couple of hours later, he was clean and showered and pleasant and soft spoken (he said he can't wake up until he's played racquetball). He was very excited about The MC5 and the story of 'The Ramberg Tapes'. He suggested that we go to my record store and buy some MC5. I pointed out that, thanks to the record companies, MC5 was unavailable in the US. (That was dumb, i should have taken him to the store, anyway!! My co-workers would've loved it!) In the New Years edition of Rolling Stone Magazine that year, they asked famous people what they were listening to and Ian Astbury said MC5!! I either got him started on it, or i coincidently hit the perfect tape that day. Thank you Charles!

Eventually my set of The Ramberg Tapes wound up in a custom built tape rack on my record shelf, spending a couple of decades there but never completely forgotten. Around 2004 when digital audio was starting to become available online i dug into the lists of artists from The Ramberg Tapes and explored some of those artists more fully, sometimes finding full albums from just the one song played on the radio in 1969. It was exciting and fun to discover even more music from this project. In 2012, over several weeks, i digitized my 13 Ramberg Tape cassettes as complete 45 minute files. Now i had them available on the computer. They filled just over 2 million kilobytes. That would've taken up half of my new hard drive in 1989, it is a very small corner of my computer today.

studio >> master >> LP (1960s) >> FM radio >> quarter inch reel-to-reel (1969) >> cassette (1988) >> VBR MP3 (2012)

It's interesting to me to think of the journey that these songs have taken to get to my ears. The audio quality is not ideal, but it is still surprisingly good. The music started out very high audio quality in Charles' original recordings. Some of the LPs had skips but most were very clear. There is very little interference off the air however it was run through a compressor as it was transmitted. It then went through three to five tape generations before being audio recorded (not digitally ripped) to high quality variable bit rate MP3s. That means the music i am listening to right now went from a 1960s recording studio, to a master tape, to LP, to radio airwaves, to reel-to-reel in 1969, to cassette in 1988, all analog waveform, and to MP3 in 2012 where it is stored digitally.

Over several months in early 2021 i took each of the 26 MP3 files (each is one side of a cassette) and split them up into individual songs using the music editing program Audacity. I now have 450 tracks in my Ramberg Tapes folder. I also created a relational database connecting the lists of songs and cassettes and reels; and including Charles' original notes. With this database and using the much, much more extensive resources we have available now, i set out to track down the name and artist, album and year for every song in the collection to a high level of confidence. I searched lists on Discogs.com, Allmusic.com and Wikipedia, i searched lyrics on Google, i compared songs on YouTube and archive.org, and as an absolute last resort i used Shazam to analyze and try to name a song. I think i've got it in pretty good shape -- there are only half a dozen or so still frustratingly unidentified!

I am sad that rock radio with DJs, thematic sets, cued seugeways and airbreaks like i grew up with (and did myself for a few years), doesn't really exist anymore but i am able to listen to amazing sets from 1969! It's great fun and i keep on learning from this collection. I continue to find artists that i want to explore further. The collection is still pretty special although it's value is quite different now. When i made the cassettes in the 80s it was fascinating to see what was REALLY on the radio in the Sixties and what was remembered and what was completely forgotten. And that's still of great value today, maybe more so. However in 1988 the vast majority of this music was out of print and there was no possibility of getting it. It felt forbidden; having The Ramberg Tapes was special, like winning the lottery. Now almost everything ever recorded is available instantly with moment's search. But i'm discovering that there are a few things in this collection that i cannot find at all amongst the vast resources on the internet. Some things DID disappear!

There are about a dozen that i still cannot name after using all of my resourses. Below i have inserted the song cards for each cassette:
