80's radioshow

Post by Ranking S »

I know this might be a one in a million shot - but why not - seems to be so much knowledge in this forum.

I used to have a tape with a Jamaican radioshow. I don't know the name of it, maybe on JBC, but surely not with Mikey Dread. The show presented the top tunes in Jamaica for 1981 (jes, I know, it's an old tape...). So many times I listened to it still exactly remember much of it though it got lost 25 years ago. That's why I've been able to recollect the number two tune which was Derrick Laras "Hard times"

As for the number one song - or as it was presented..
"the number one song in Jamaica in 1981...spending 20 consecutive weeks at the top of the charts....T for Tony...T for Tuff..."I've got to get you"...

I've been trying to match those songs with charts I've found on different sites but without success. I would love to find the songs further down the chart. Does
anyone have a hint of what show I'm describing? Or maybee you know where to find recordings of old radioshows?

Thanks,
