Nice one, got these on the DL now :thumbsup:

I've been looking for Activate stuff for a while now but only managed a terrible copy of Side B of this tape so much appreciated!

Mate of mine knows a guy who claims to have a load of Activate tapes hidden away somewhere so if I do ever get them I'll up them here of course...

Cheers
Julian

Nice one mate, really appreciate that - I used to help out with the Activates and did some live graffiti and stuff at the all nighters, they were cracking nights - not many places would put Vertigo and CJ Bolland on one after the other ;)

PBT were from out of Bradford, except Point Blank who was local - they were promoted heavily by Activate though, and did Bradford pirate radio a lot, so were always associated with the city in that way.

Unless of course my brain is slightly more addled than I thought from those days :fekked:

Spoke to a mate of mine last night and he's found his activate membership card, I'll have to scan it in and post it, they were made of lots of bits of paper cut out and stuck together then laminated, so they couldnt be copied. I remember spending many an hour cutting out tiny little "a"'s for the middle of them :p Happy Dayz
