NEW RELEASES FROM THE 100 SERIES OF WOR
AIRCHECKS 1974 -1977
More
from a nearly complete run of the last few years of original WOR
broadcasts. These represent the next 6
reels from a set of 70 reels. More will
follow in the coming months and years.
Sound quality ranges from only adequate on a few to pretty darn good -
the masters are third generation AM airchecks, which is as close as I could
find to the original tapes. These are
complete shows with commercials.
Regular
$6 per-tape prices apply, or Take Any Twelve for Only $55! That's right -
make your own damn sets from the 100 series!
You may combine these only with the 100 series A - D sets
previously listed. This offer likely to
be withdrawn at any time, so act before the end of the millennium. You may also select the groupings as
offered. All 100 Series sets shipped in
bookshelf cases at no additional charge.
Regular clear soft-poly boxes available on request.

HERE ARE TWO NEW SETS OF LIMELIGHT SHOWS!
Most
are FM Airchecks, until 9/17/66, when the broadcasts were on AM only. These shows, and the releases to follow from
1963 to 1966 are from an amazing cache of WOR airchecks I found right here in
Queens! Sound quality is generally
excellent, with occasional problems caused by the age of the master tapes. Some tape edge curling has caused a bit of
fading in and out in spots, which I have tried to note. There are very rare occurrences of very
small segments missing due to broken splices.
As with all airchecks, portions of the opening or closing themes may be
missing, but cause no loss of the program portion, except as noted. Finally, due to single motor technology of
old tape recorders, programs may occasionally drift off-speed, although I
have done my best to correct that.
Overall these problems are very minor, but I felt the need to point out
the variety of defects that are
possible on a few of these tapes. As
usual, I guarantee your satisfaction!

JEAN SHEPHERD 1960 SET 2 - 12 tapes, 18
hours - Dolby B for $60 pp.
These
are from the same source as the first 1960 set. The sound is generally
excellent, except as noted. I have had
special 100 minute tapes custom-loaded, so there isn't nearly as much
overlapping of shows as in the first set, except where the shows are so closely
linked as to make it acceptable. One
note: Shep seemed to have some recurring set pieces in his repertoire in this
era: Og and Charlie made frequent appearances demonstrating the timeless
nature of human traits. "Listen Baby" is my
designation for the lengthy monologs over mellow jazz of Shepherd talking to an
unheard girlfriend.

Earliest

them.

SHEPHERD 1961 & 1963 SET - Recorded in Dolby
B - 17 ˝ hours on eleven 90-minute tapes and one 60" for $60 pp.
The
following tapes are from three sources, but all are high quality FM airchecks,
with very minor defects common to tapes of this age. Portions of the music at the top and end of show may be missing
(more serious cuts or major defects are noted). Some shows may have some hum or hiss, but this is minimal. Overall, these sound like they could be
coming from your radio right now! About
the dates: I'm using the dates provided
by my sources, unless I have serious doubts.
There was some question about shows from the winter of ‘63 and ‘64, but
now, through deductive reasoning and just plain guesswork, I believe they are in proper order. Should you hear anything in the programs to
help narrow down the actual dates, or that contradicts my dates, please let me
know! More good news: The source of the 1961 shows has more from 1961, and
possibly earlier shows (I've got my fingers crossed), and more 1963 shows from
my major source will be listed shortly along with some 1964 and 1965
shows. Still looking for a source for
1962, but the way things are going, we'll find some someday, no doubt! Update: January 2000 - I now believe
that the shows formerly listed as July 1 to 3, 1963 are actually from
1964. Oh well.
