A collage of album & singles art from releases played on the show
Self Help Radio 011723: 1987


It's a tradition as old as Self Help Radio - every year around the time of my birthday, I, Gary (the hose of the show), play music from a year in my life.

The first Self Help Radio that happened around my birthday was in 2003, & I played some of my favorite music from 1968, the year of my birth.

In 2023, I've made my way up to 1987. I know, it should be 1988 - but I skipped a year. Dang it.

But this means you get to enjoy three hours of music from an important year in my life.  & I didn't even get to all of it - so I'll revisit this theme in six months.

Please enjoy - & let me know what you think I forgot.

(Note about the collage: all album/single art is from Discogs.)
