Vintage Airchecks from Great Radio Stations
Step back into the golden age of radio with this extraordinary collection of over 140 vintage airchecks spanning from the 1950s through the 2010s. Featuring legendary on-air personalities, iconic jingles, and historic broadcasts, this six-volume set captures the raw energy and spontaneity of live radio as it was meant to be heard. From the fast-talking DJs of top-40 AM giants to bootleg Vietnam-era broadcasts and groundbreaking news coverage, these recordings offer an authentic, unfiltered window into radio history.
Collection Highlights
- Historic broadcasts from legendary stations including WABC, KHJ, KFWB, WLS, and WKBW, featuring iconic personalities like Cousin Brucie, Dan Ingram, Casey Kasem, Don Steele, and a young Rick Moranis.
- Rare and culturally significant content including Alan Freed's early 1950s Moondog shows, the Buddy Holly plane crash broadcast, Patty Hearst kidnapping coverage, and extensive raw news reports from the Kent State shootings in May 1970.
- A remarkable treasure trove of radio ephemera: PAMS jingles from the 1960s, classic station sounders, airchecks from AFVN Vietnam and the legendary Dave Rabbit bootleg station, plus early career recordings of Rush Limbaugh (as "Jeff Christie") on Pittsburgh's WIXZ in the early 1970s.
- Deep regional radio documentation with over 30 different stations represented across the country, plus extended airchecks from Cleveland's WMMS including the Ramones live on-air concert and Harry Chapin's final broadcast appearance.
