MONTAGE MANIA: The following is a special contribution by Jay Philpott - WLS started this "artform" in the 70's by airing a recap of the past years hits every New Year's Eve at midnight, adding another minute or so each year to represent each "old year." I caught onto this trend and was inspired by it in 1975. Here are a couple of versions of the WLS Montage. The first is an actual aircheck of fairly good quality...but so what if there are imperfections in the signal or the recording - that's the way we heard it! WLS MONTAGE (air 55-84) 21 MB. This version is a complete and absolutely faithful stereo rebuild of the original montage, produced by Scott Childers (www.scottchilders.com): WLS STEREO REBUILD 26 MB. This final version is my production. I began it in 1979 while I was working at KFMX-FM, as a way to commemorate the passing of the 70s decade. For New Year's Eve 1980 leading into 1981, I added the new 1980 segment and retro-expanded the montage to 1964...the beginning of contemporary music with the Beatles Era. When I started at WLOL-FM in the summer of '80, I brought it with me and we played it every New Year's Eve at midnight, following each year's "Hot Hits Countdown." I also added 1981, 1982 and 1983. Following my late 1984 departure from WLOL-FM, Gregg Swedberg and his staff continued the tradition of adding to and airing the montage through 1990. From that point, I informally kept up with the montage here and there, even though it didn't have a home for a New Year's Eve airing. The last few years of this piece contain montage elements produced by Scott Childers. I am particularly flattered that Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber used this montage as a premium to attract pledges to KFAI-FM through his "Crap From The Past" show each Friday night. I'm told it helped him obtain record donations! PHILPOTT'S MONTAGE 50 MB

This show was recorded at the Old Log Theater in 1989 starring Tom Bodett and Johnny B along with special guests including WCCO Radio's Boone and Erickson. In addition hearing the show as it was broadcast nationally, you’ll also hear the interaction and dialog with the audience before the show started and between the segments that radio listeners never heard including retakes, audience instructions, recording of show promo, off-air performances and much more. Radiotapes has been granted permission by Tom Bodett to post this copyrighted recording.
