(2 of 3) - TM '75 Radio - "You" - (MSTS1)

[BSDJ76]

This is a pretty clean copy, but does anyone have a non-compressed version, preferably a WAV file version, 1st generation dub?

What knid of music was played on 93KHJ? (AM 930)

Can U help me out here?

[MSTS1]

@oscarflores1980 - I think all the big RKO General stations were playing the same format at that time. The Boston version of KHJ, 68-WRKO played kind of a Top-40 playlist, which mixed a lot of new hits of different types like Aerosmith, Olivia Newton-John, Neil Sedaka, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Jim Croce, Mini Ripperton, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Earth Wind + Fire, Barry White, Carpenters, Doobie Brothers, Kiss, 10CC, Gordon Lightfoot, Rick Derringer, Stevie Wonder, Wild Cherry, etc. etc..

@MSTS1 - , along with re-made movie/TV themes like Star Wars, Rockford Files, Exorcist (Tubular Bells), Convoy, Theme from 2001, and novelties like Mr. Jaws, Energy Crisis '74, and Monster Mash re-issue. And even Disco Duck (ouch!)

@MSTS1 Oh cool! But 2 bad most of the good music that was played on the radio is now shifted overseas.

Syndicated in 1976 for the UK station Beacon Radio which was programmed around the American Billboard Hot 100 chart - "We do it for you on Beacon 303".

Google Beacon Radio 303 to hear them.

I remember these jingles. But by 1975 I had moved for the most part away from AM radio. In late 1973 I moved mainly to FM-93, KNX-FM, an adult comtemporary station along with a couple of FM stations. I simply got tired of the AM DJs interrupting a song before it could start and finish. It was ridiculous, so I just got fed up and moved. In '73 I was 14 years old and when I found KNX-FM I felt that I was right a home. I miss that station even today.

congratulations for posting the greatest jingle package ever heard before 75 or after. this campaign should be in the radio hall of fame take a listen you'll see why. They don't do these like this any more.

[MSTS1]

I agree with that; I remember some of these cuts first-hand on-air from '75 and after, as Boston-versions.

Instead of 93-KHJ, the ID's were sung: 'You and- 68-RKO'.
