The local AM station in Findlay, O would play the program on Sunday 9-12 and would give the box set to a listener whose postcard was drawn from the week’s entries. Won it once, in 1974. Big stuff, eh? Thinnest LP’s I ever owned...wish I still had ‘em!

Im still a CD guy when it comes to music. And when Im looking for something good on Amazon, I always start with a Casey Kasem search. Good stuff.
"Yellow Submarine" for example. Yikes.
Pretty meager pickings.
Not that I was listening as I was patrolling up on the Cambodian border.
“A lot of Beatles’ fans thought Sgt. Pepper was their best album, but for me, it was a big “meh”. “
Day in the Life was always one of my favorites, but Rubber Soul was and still is my favorite Beatles album.
I record his show every week on my Sirius/XM radio and listen to it while I cut grass in the summer and exercise in the winter. Good stuff.
> Your post reminds me, that I need to buy a few rock bottom basic transistor radios. <
I just bought a transistor radio to carry on my walks. But I spent a extra few bucks and got one with digital tuning. No more sliding that line around for me.
Can’t believe everything you see in the movies!
Casey Kasem was,in fact,a worthless phony in real life.Plus there was a huge fight over his estate between one of his wives and his kids. A typically worthless showbiz scum.
I grew up listening to Casey Kasem on WDRC in Hartford, CT, and he played my “Long Distance Dedication” on April 6, 1983. One of the highlights of my youth.
The Beatles went to India and returned with all of the new age crap the we suffer from today. F the Beatles.
I was being sarcastic!

Yup,heard it.That’s part of what makes me say “worthless,phony scum”.
I know you were.
So was I.
We’re good.
I always got a kick out of how towards the end of the show, he'd always thank all his "staff" including his statistician and researchers. It was like he had some kind of NASA mission control thing going on.
All he basically did was read the Top 40 off the Hot 100 Billboard chart! You could pick up a copy back then for about $2.
