5.0 out of 5 stars Preserving a lost era, March 10, 2001

This review is from: Cruisin 1963 (Audio CD)

This is one of those CDs you don't buy for the music per se (though all the tracks here are just fine, thanks), but for the ambience. This recreates an hour of listening to WMCA in New York in 1963, complete with commercials, jingles, weather, high school contests, and DJ patter. You don't have to have grown up in New York to enjoy this blast from the past, you just have to be a fan of the sort of personality-driven radio experience that doesn't exist anymore. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Rock and Roll time capsule-Never Again, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cruisin 1963 (Audio CD)

This is a very special album. It takes you back in time. Just think, if your were living in New york in 1963 you would have been a big listener to the WMCA GOOD GUYS,. Pleae pay close attention to the dialog . "The Bemmer" mentions some very key inside people.. You have to be a Record Bis Person from the Al and Dicks era to really get some yaks .....THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WMCA, OR B. MITCHELL REED....

The absolute best D.J. in New York during the 1963-1965 time when WMCA with its Good GUY Sweat Shirts and "Name it and Claim it" contests ruled the airwaves. The cd has been reduced in size from the original LP release because of legal problems. Would love more live shows of BMR
