Hi Lain,

Here you go, it’s about 8min & 49sec into the audio, Hudson & Harrigan on 610 KILT & the “Dam” bit, its off a aircheck album called Bootleg Top 40, I believe the airchecks were recorded around 1971-72. There were two albums released, a great timeline of Top 40 Radio here in the U.S. Lot’s of great jingles too!

By The cringe!
That’s indeed it!
The power of an internet forum…

Thank you very much indeed Richie :^)

PS – didn’t “AM jocks “sound very “grown up” back then, and very much part of the presentation rather than today’s
“liner card readers” – and even that is out-of-date in this age of cut-and-paste V/O.
And of course the jingles so much more striking than much of today’s product.

PPS – when hearing some of these clips, as soon as some started I could remember the content – very scary!

PPPS – as a collector back then I wrote off to quite a few of the stations on those clips (this is pre-World Radio TV
Handbook era) and scrounged dubs of their jingles – e.g. WNOR Norfolk TM Phase Two

PPPPS – Richie, that’s a “capital-eye” for Iain, not an “Ell” :^)

What a great listen!
Hands-on jocks running the board, with skill and talent. Not to mention the voices – everything sounds so BIG.
Loved hearing those classic stagers put to use on different stations.
Thanks for sharing

Aye, you see!
Us “veteran collectors” aren’t just “auld fogies”!
:^)

We had all this stuff on Nth-generation 3&3/4 IPS iron-oxide reel dubs circulated in JiffyBags
when you “youngsters” weren’t even a proverbial “twinkle in the eye”!

And the “computers” at the time were the size of a large room, output was on lineprint at 600 pages per min,
and programmed on one-line-at-a-time orange punch cards with a bit clipped off the top corner so that they
“went in” to the 5 feet square “card reader” the right-way-around. Fortran IV…ugh!

Gawd, its a lot easier “programming” an internet station”!

Love this thread, and the audio. Thanks, all.

When I got into radio in the early 80’s, a friend had given me a cassette copy of Bootleg Top 40, I wore that sucker out listening to it so much, lol! No matter the market size, all those stations sounded BIG! The jocks, jingles, reverb!! One of my favorite parts, is the ballsy top of hour ID for WAYS Charlotte. Glad everyone is enjoying it!

That’s OK Richie! Not the first (or the last…
