If you're reading this, either you followed a link from Live365 or one that I sent you personally.
Here's the run-down on how the station is set up:
Every week I will add at least two new sets of records. Today I uploaded the first set of forty records and another set of forty are ready, as well. Each set will be forty records from a certain week from the classic Top 40 era. For instance, the first set is from this week in 1970. The second set is from this week in 1971. For the record, let me tell you that every single one of these records is the original mono version. At some point, I will also add in weeks for which all the records are 45 RPM stereo versions.
Also, for the record, I'm saying it now. Every single record I play is from my own personal collection. Using music from any other source (torrent files, Youtube videos, and the like) is cheating. I'm not a cheater.
Many of the records are just that, actual vinyl 45s. I hope that you will enjoy listening to them, as much as I do. A lot of them are promotional versions that were sent only to radio stations. These often differ significantly from what was sold in stores for retail release.
That's how things are set up in Auto-DJ mode. I do have basic rules on rotation set up to prevent you from hearing the same record too many times.
In Live Mode, I will be streaming simulated airchecks. That is, full radio shows complete with vintage jingles and commercials. I've said this on my station profile, but it does bear repeating. The commercials are presented for their historical and entertainment value only. No endorsement by Live365 or its affiliates exists or is implied.
That's the inside scoop, my friend. Let's cross our fingers that the station becomes a success, one worth taking the time to listen to.
