• Shep NBC (mp3) - In the early 1970s, Jean Shepherd did a 90-second daily show for NBC radio. I have not been able to find out anything about the show; how long it ran, how many stations ran it, etc. In NYC, it ran on WNBC during the Imus In The Morning Show. Here's proof the show did exist though, as poorly recorded with a hand held microphone in front of a cheap transistor radio. If anyone knows more about this show, please let me know.
  
  
• Don Imus - Early 70s (mp3) - This Don Imus clip is from the same aircheck as the previous Jean Shepherd clip. It's about 3 minutes later in the show. I edited the music out, but left 2 commercials.

• Alex Bennett introducing Abbey Road (Come Together) (mp3) and Alex Bennett introducing Abbey Road (Here Comes The Sun) (mp3) - These two short clips are air checks of Alex Bennett, introducing the Beatles, Abbey Road, to the world on WMCA in NYC, i believe in late September of 1969. This was recorded with a hand held microphone, held up to a speaker of an AM radio. On top of all that, the tape was later severely damaged by a tape player. So the quality isn't great, but it's history. You can currently hear Alex on Sirius Left 146 from 9 till noon Eastern. You can find more, and better audio clips of Alex at his website www.radiofreejack.com (376KB and 580KB)
