Bill was offered $300k 5 year contract to move to Chicago!

WLS - Chicago Bill Bailey 8 - 1-1969

I recorded this off the air on a trip to Los Angeles to take my FCC test!
NOT stereo, but still sounds great. Appears to be "automated" or as we would say in today's world, voice tracked!
When I listen to it, it DOES sound "live" to me, especially in the WX forecast he even gives the "current" temps, usually not done on VTed stations.

KHJ - FM Los Angeles Johnny Williams 05 - 19 - 1971

Recorded off the CBS Newsfeed during their "FILL". Recorded in Tucson, AZ! In stereo! Perfect timing because CBS had no nighttime news,this a great unscoped, uninterrupted aircheck!

WCBS - FM New York Marc Sommers Dec 9 1990

I recorded this on a visit to Pleasanton, Texas.

WOAI-San Antonio Roy Ortega July 6 1974

Bill's LAST SHOW on WKLO at the time. A week later! He'd be doing mornings at the Big 89! WLS!!

WKLO-Louisville Bill Bailey 07-25-1969

Top Of The Pop Weekend. Unknown Jock...she not ONCE gave her name!! Great Classics from the 50s through the 70s!
NOTE:I CAN NO VERIFY IT IS Keri Tombazian

KRTH K-Earth 101 Keri Tombazian Los Angeles 04-07-1984

WNCI-Columbus Charlie Pickard 07-31-1970

I cannot be positive of the jock's names, did the best I could. Also a "Robert" keeps being brought up on some breaks.
This is CLASSIC COUNTRY at its best!
As a rule tape sounds good, but the tape itself has a couple of flat spots! Not much can be done about it, but as a rule the fidelity is good.

KUSA-St. Louis 550 Real Country Oldies Mark Dodson 02-16-1990

Thanks to Mark Yurko for sharing this with me!! LOVED listening to this powerhouse when I was much younger! Carol plays some GREAT music! Lots of updates leading up to the Indy 500.

WOWO-Fort Wayne Happy Days Weekend Carol Ford 05-29-77

His first hour...midnight until 1am Jan 23rd

KMOX-St. Louis John McCormick January 23 1971

On this particular aircheck, Harv was thinking it was his LAST night ever, but later would come back to KRLA a couple of more times. Last "break" on the tape he says his goodbyes and picks a special "Goodbye" song.

KRLA-Pasadena-Los Angeles Humble Harv 05-12-1985

One thing for sure, living in Los Angeles, you certainly had a huge choice of stations you could listen to! New Years Eve 1973 as Charlie Tuna plays the best of 1973, just hours from the New Year of 1974.

Seems to be the ONLY aircheck EVER of KMOP! One of the very first Country Music stations in Tucson. They were only a daytimer. KHOS came along as a 24/7 station, and that was all she wrote for KMOP which switched calls and formats to KHYT!

Greg Smith wrapping up his show, and the rest is Layback Lenny.
Recorded from my house in NW Tucson! KNIX had one hell of a signal!
Lenny plugs "Termite" Tommy Wright coming up later (NOT on this aircheck!) Also you will hear Bobby Butler doing a spot!! KTUF-KNIX HAD the best talent in Arizona!!

KTUF-KNIX Tempe-Phoenix Greg Smith Layback Lenny 09-02-1973

Last moments of KHIT-FM then switch to KOFY-FM!
Previous Format: CHR KHIT (Station Stunted For A Week Simulcasting Oldies 1050 KOFY for 1 week, then on May 14, 1988 switching to new format AAA.
CHR format most of this tape, then about 50 minutes of Oldies simulcasting KOFY AM.

My most favorite On Air Personality EVER!!!!
Listened to him as a teen growing up in Atlanta!
To this very day, Ronnie Milsap always gives Pat credit for his success. Ronnie used to play the Atlanta clubs long before he became famous!
