[Description by Uncle Ricky]
First, this is also a very long exhibit – almost two hours. I couldn’t consider any edits because the fidelity is so consistently excellent. So, it’s all here, from about 9am until 10:49AM on July 20, 1969. Thanks to contributor Joe Evelius for this great addition to the Repository.
Bob Raleigh appears in two roles on this aircheck, and we’re told it’s the same guy. Tiger Bob Raleigh is the DJ, and Bob Raleigh is the news guy featured during this unscoped hour and 49 minutes of WPGC-FM. It’s a Sunday Morning, and it’s a Solid Gold Million Dollar Weekend, and we LOVE that reverb! You’ll also enjoy an interesting blend of Pepper-Tanner (I think) and PAMS jingles, and a cornucopia of period marketing (for all the important things, of course.)
Request-O-Matic and Sound-Off-of-the-Week are fun, but scattered between the expected hard-core Goldens and Top 40 “Hits” of the period, you’ll find a bountiful garden of mid-chart weirdness – including at least one cut you *can’t* play today, you’d be sued into bankruptcy!
Amazing fidelity on this exhibit, reminding us mostly how bad 45 RPM records sounded after being played over and over again on radio station turntables. But for me, nothing can beat some of the great R&B featured here as heard then  from a grungy, cheap plastic 45 and a dull needle with a lot of reverb and lots of indiscriminate gain control. Yum.
