Speed Air Play was the name of a bi-weekly HardCore show that ‘Röbi’ Robert Zollinger (Timbuktu Nachrichten/ Der Sensenmann fanzines), ‘Roli’ Roland Brümmer (Skatecore fanzine) and Claudio Pavan did on the local radio-station (LoRa) in Zürich (Switzerland). As Erich Keller (‘Fear Of God’ vocalist/ Megawimp fanzine/ Off The Disk recs) wrote: “They were really open-minded guys, happy to meet new kids that were into some of the same music they were into […] straight-edge and incredibly enthusiastic about HardCore as a lifestyle.

This tape was conributed by Dirk Michiels (Punk Etc).
Some of the Speed Air Play shows are to be found online. ‘Röbi’ also donated the recordings of the X-mas special 86-12-25 (“Ultra-Noise” radioshow) where they played 100 bands in 60 minutes. Unfortunately I cannot copy that…
