Flash Phillips sure sounds genuine here. And he’s not that Phlash person, either, who works in Satellite radio.
Flash is terrific, but the station formatting falls a bit short. No jingles, first of all… c’mon! WAVA was a modern miracle – a Top 40 station on FM in stereo with REVERB! – still kickin’ it in 1987 (and in one of the most “Urban” areas in the country…) In 44 minutes, there is ONE stopset – 3.5 minutes (but 4 units!) plus sweep intro. There’s also a killer promo at the end, but you should NEVER play a promo into a commercial set. But they did. This is one of the reasons why they aren’t around to give me (or you) a job today. Sadly AND furthermore: there are TWO of those bothersome music to music things with NO ID. (sigh.) How do people know where they heard the music unless you tell them?
