Super Saturday-Local Radio Edition 4
Here's another version of the 1982 KVIL music with the 1983 KVIL cover, also released in 1983. I think you'll find that the artists that make up the bulk of this recording are not credited as a group anywhere on the release (though there are some individual credits for solos, as well as some general personnel credits, but no band name). I attributed it to the 94-Q/WQXI Caroleers to keep this release in line with the others we've seen previously. There are a couple of local ringers here, two tracks performed by a number of DJs at the radio station in question. That's what set this release apart from all the others. Actually, if you look this series up at Discogs, they are all lumped together as versions of a single release. Few of the detail listings even mention the different tracks. I need to straighten out the ones I know about, but it's going to take a lot of work. In the meantime, here's the latest entry in our survey of America's top radio stations of the Eighties, A 94-Q/WQXI Christmas (FairWest Studios JSS-KVIL 82-WQXI, Stereo, 1983). As is customary now, we get a call letter callout over the music of the last track. Think of that as the signature of this series.

Hello and good day, not just to Ernie (big ol' thanks, dude) but also to all you wonderful people. Many thanks to each and every one of you for being here all these many days and, especially for all the words. They brighten my days, as does having access to these many chunks of super-way-cool content that I keep adding to my hard drive.
ReplyDeleteHere in Roswell, the one in Georgia, we'll see 74 degrees today.
Many blessings to one and all, with hopes that we'll all have a good New Year.
A very imaginative cover on all of these. It's a good thing I took off between Christmas and New Year's, that's the only way I'll get to hear all of this music.
