For those of you who are passionate about this sort of thing ...
Or perhaps have built your own collection of radio air checks ... or would love to START one ...
This is the kind of opportunity that only comes along once in a lifetime.
We heard from a Forgotten Hits Reader over this past weekend who has come into possession of a treasure trove of old radio tapes from the '60's, '70's and early '80's.
They come from an avid collector who did most of his own recording ... and over the course of a lifetime, assembled a collection of literally hundreds and hundreds of tapes ... but has sadly passed on.
Far too often we have seen someone's life-long passion ... and life's work ... simply hauled out to the garbage because other family members had no appreciation for this hobby and didn't want to deal with the clutter.
We don't want to see this happen again ... so we offered to try and find these recordings a good home.
There are reel-to-reel tapes, cassette tapes and even some on CD ...
An absolutely MASSIVE collection of radio audio, most of which are full length segments of 45 minutes to an hour, complete with music, commercials, jingles, news spots ... and reportedly in excellent condition. (Since he built this library for his own collection and enjoyment, he wanted it to include top quality tapes that he could listen to again and again.)
Nobody has the time to sort thru all of this material and catalog it ...
This is a "take it all off our hands" opportunity ... no sorting, no cherry-picking ... just Winner Takes All.
Listed below are just SOME of the radio stations included in this collection ...
