Description: Radio shows were first syndicated on reel to reel tape, later on LP stereo discs, then CD's and now digitally. Collectors can no longer get their hands on this quality material so the surviving shows that are available will keep going up and up in value. These radio shows were never intended for public use & most were destroyed or returned to the manufacturer after use, so they're very difficult to find. Founded in 1976 by Norman Pattiz, the original Westwood One was one of the largest producers and distributors of radio programming in the United States. Based in New York City, they broadcast entertainment, news, weather, sports, talk, and traffic programming to about 7,700 radio stations across the United States. In January 1981 Pattiz started recording live concerts for broadcast and became a leader in live broadcasts and concert recordings for radio until May, 2011. Westwood One was most notable for its coverage of live events, and on-location recording of concerts allowing them to provide live music to fans around the country. In October of 2011 Westwood One merged with Triton Media Group to form the current Westwood One. BBC Classic Tracks is a production of the Westwood One Radio Network and each disc contains the custom Westwood One logo on the front. This show comes with the complete cue sheets and is in like new condition. This episode, "Beatles Covers", features covers of classic Beatles songs recorded live. Artists include Jeff Healey - While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Bryan Ferry - Jealous Guy, Elton John - I Saw Her Standing There, Vanilla Fudge - Ticket to Ride (awesome track) & Rod Stewart - Get Back. This great episode was broadcast in March, 1996. Please see photos of the cue sheet for an overview of the track listing and timeline. These discs are sold from one collector to another.
