The Real Don Steele, KHJ Los Angeles, July 21, 1969 Pt.2 (0:59:31)

Unscoped
… So, if you want it reamed …
Part Two of The Real Don Steele from Monday, July 21, 1969 features more of the always energetic Mr. Steele, with music restored for the full historic experience. The ‘scoped presentation of this aircheck was created by official KHJ historian Ray Randolph. The original recording came from the private collection of The Real Don Steele, and was recorded in the KHJ studios.
A portion of a few recorded commercials were saved, but most of the commercial sets were ‘scoped, too. One small piece was missing (probably around a newscast) so an authentic Drake Series 1 Johnny Mann jingle was used to fill. Thanks also to Stormy Hunter for musical assistance.
Steele gets hung up on fungi while doing a commercial for flea and tick spray, reminding us that he was the most fun guy of all!

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
