WDAS 105.3 FM – E.C. LaRock

Friday 16 October 1992 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The day after their appearance on WPRB, Stretch, Majesty and K-Low joined presenter E.C. LaRock on WDAS 105.3 FM in Philadelphia. The broadcast came from The Ritz during the station's Ladies Night programme.

The conversation captures the group promoting Heartless / Murderahh!, discussing the planned Game Of Survival album and its accompanying mini-movie concept, and talking about their recent and forthcoming Philadelphia shows. Stretch said the album was expected in January 1993. The programme also played Heartless, prompting E.C. LaRock to mention DJ Red Alert's enthusiasm for the record.

Although relatively short, this is a valuable contemporary recording of all three Live Squad members speaking together during the Tommy Boy promotional campaign.
