From January 1960 Biondi broadcasts to the eastern seaboard over the mighty 1520 WKBW in Buffalo, New York. This was recorded about six months before Dick left for WLS in Chicago.
I was in school in 1960. Wow! This brings back memories of those days of simpler times. If I had a time machine I would go back to 1060, park it, and live the 60's and 70's all over again.
@leadsquirter: Used to listen to Dick Biondi and Tommy Shannon from Toronto every night over WKBW radio in Buffalo. Every kid in Toronto listened to WKBW. Thanks for the memory.
As much as I love the Cruisin series ESPECIALLY my Italian brother Dick Biondi, sadly these broadcasts were not original. They were remakes. They used the ORIGINAL DJ's, and did a GREAT job. I mean back in the '70s when I bought these LPS I was floored. I thought they were the original broadcast. But recently I found out that all of the DJ's came back just to remake this stuff. But damn, its still SO good.
One of my very favorites. Remember when they bogus fired him and he locked himself in and played all the songs he wanted. I think the thing started over censorship. They told him he couldn't play Elvis, "It's now or never." you guys remember this?
