I spun the dial a lot especially late at night the Mighty 1090, XERB, XPRS, KRLA, KHJ, KFWB, KDAY, KRLD, KALI, KGFJ and on.
I remember hearing Wolfman Jack and Huggy Boy on the various stations doing radio promos for a set of oldies albums you could order through the mail. A collection of over 80 of your favorites.
From 1967-1969 I was a disc jockey on the college radio station KELA, Huskie Radio, the voice of East Los Angeles College. In need of some tune for my oldies show I ordered a set.
To my surprise they did not come with album jackets but came in white paper sleeves. Not knowing it at the time this was my first encounter with "bootlegs"
Over the years I have seen this same set of oldies pressed on different labels in record stores, The saet I have used girls names on the record label.
I can't even guess how many of these were sold by mail by various record stations but I am sure they are getting scarce.

Where would someone find these albums. I remember is to have all of them.
ReplyDeleteYou could try Sounds of Music in East LA. They used to have them. If not E-Bay or Discogs online.
