… Over there, Officer, the one who thinks he’s a vehicle. Take him downtown …

Larry O’Brien is actually hosting a nightly 7PM-8PM Big Ten Countdown here, but he plays some songs that aren’t in the countdown, too. It’s all rather casual, and he doesn’t necessarily make it clear when he’s playing something that is not in the countdown – he just doesn’t say it is. Mr. O’Brien’s low-key humor is also featured, along with all those great TM jingles. The fidelity is not the best, though this recording started (several dubs back) as a studio recording. One song that was incomplete due to a tape flip was restored.
The Fred W. Barton newscast and the Tammy Wynette jingle for Pepsi is just all too 1970. In fact, it is exactly 1970, and that’s the way it was.
