Aircheck Of The Week

 

This is a demo for "Love", a syndicated progressive rock format designed by Allen Shaw for ABC's owned-and-operated FM stations, including WABC-FM/New York. The format featured personalities like Brother John Rydgren, Bob (Bob-A-Loo) Lewis, Jimmy Rabbitt, and Tony Pigg. This demo was produced in April, 1968, although Love did not hit the air until January, 1969. The demo was originally produced with all of the songs scoped. I've restored the full-length versions of every song.

Aircheck Of The Week

 

 This week we're listening to New York's finest: Dan Ingram on WABC. It's mid-April in 1968, a memorable era in music. As a result, no obscrurities to be found here as every song was a bona fide hit. Still, Dan is at his best and this is a great listen. I have restored all of the music to this originally-scoped aircheck, so you can listen in real-time as you would have back in '68.

This hour of music is dedicated to FAME studios. FAME studios was founded in 1959 by Rick Hall in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

The studio, owned by Hall until his death in 2018, is still actively operating.

Lux & Ivy's Favorites Vol. 8 Remaster

With Kogar the Swinging Ape

"Here is Lux and Ivy’s Favorites Volume 8 (remaster). The 3rd of the recently restarted remaster process for this series. Only Volumes 9, 10, and 11 are left before volume 18 will appear! Starting with Volume 12, the volumes had covers from that point forward, so I don’t think I will go back over those and just let them stand as is.

Originally, this volume had songs that were not titled as they were taken from the full version of Forbidden City Dog Food, which had yet to be bootlegged at this point.  At some point I identified the songs, and titled them, but didn’t find higher quality versions of the songs.

Not much else to say about this volume, the cover was taken from the LP by The Tides since their Midnight Limbo appears on this volume. Cover Idea by myself, layout by the great and amazing Adam Fitch"
