Super Saturday-Local Radio Edition 3

Here's where things start to get interesting. This cover should look familiar, except for the name of the radio station at the top. All those years I was seeing this cover and thought I was seeing the same album, but I was wrong. I could have been seeing any number of variations on the theme (as we'll see). This particular one is from my home market of Tampa Bay, so it's likely this is the one I was seeing so many of over the years. A close look at the tracklist reveals no local artists, and many of the tracks are recyled from the first KVIL record from two years earlier. Not sure of the provenance of the other tracks, but I believe they're by the same studio group as all the others, here christened The Q105 Choraleers. If you're paying real close attention, you'll notice that track four here was actually credited to The Texas Boys Choir on that original release, but now it's credited to the anonymous studio group. I fell like the reason they went with this over is because it's kind of generic and doesn't shown the skyline of the city it was recorded in. That's just speculation on my part, but as we'll see, this was a popular cover choice. For now, this is The Q105 Choraleers-A Q105 Christmas (FairWest FS-Q105-84, Stereo, 1984). Oh, and you get the call signs sung over the last track again. It's a nice personalized touch.
