Old 1963 Radio Recording I found

If you want to know what 60's radio was like, play this. I was going through my Reel to Reel tapes, and I found this. I'm not quite sure if I got the year right, but I think that's what I heard on the other side of the tape. I've had to cut the music short to avoid copyright issues and get the video short enough for YouTube. The quality isn't too good, there's drop-outs and distortion in places. I don't know who recorded it, or what machine they used, but I'm sure it was recorded in the US, so how it got here I don't know. Most of my reel to reel tapes I got from the web, used, so maybe that explains it.

The DJ mentions the election of Pope Paul VI. This puts a date on this recording. Here's what a grabbed from Wikipedia:

Paul VI (Latin: Paulus PP. VI; Italian: Paolo VI), born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini (26 September 1897 – 6 August 1978), reigned as Pope of the Catholic Church from 21 June 1963 until his death on 6 August 1978. Succeeding Pope John XXIII, who had convened the Second Vatican Council, he decided to continue it.

Reminds me of Chicago's WCFL in the mid '60s that fought and lost the Top 40 battle to WLS in the end

I'm impressed with the rare discovery of early 60's radio. Thanks and keep up the good work.

You've brought back so many memories of growing up in the Boston area (Chelsea) in the '50's and '60's...Arnie Ginsberg, Dan Donovan, Melvin X. Melvin on WMEX, Carl DeSuze, Dick Summer, Gary LaPierre, etc. on WBZ. No worries other than can we get our skates sharpened in time for the next game??? Thanx!
