5.0 out of 5 stars It's a 5 star disc BUT....., June 15, 2003

The track listing that is shown here may be incorrect. The disc I had included "Pushin' Too Hard" by The Seeds, "Walk Away Renee" by The Left Banke, and "Sweet Pea" by Tommy Roe instead of "Devil With a Blue Dress", "Hanky Panky" and "See You in September". ...BR>Anyway, it's a great disc featuring Seattle disc jockey Pat O'Day spinning the platters during a typical radio show on KJR in 1966. Keep in mind that you don't purchase this disc for the songs but rather the opportunity to hear what radio was like during the golden days of Top 40 radio. O'Day often talks over the intros of the songs and the sound quality isn't up to par with what you would find on an oldies disc put out by Collectibles, Rhino, Eric or other reissue labels. But this disc and the "Cruisin' 1967" disc are among my most played CDs because they're so much fun to listen to. I just wish they were longer!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Graduation-1966, My Radio Station KJR, My Favorite D.J. -Pat O'Day, September 24, 2005

This review is from: Cruisin 1966 (Audio CD)

I grew up with KJR Seattle Channel 95
Pat O'Day and Lan Roberts were my Fave D.J.s!
I graduated high school in 1966 and this
compilation captures the essence of that year!
I used to own this title on vinyl and find the
CD is missing 2 tracks. One was "Pushin'Too Hard"
by The Seeds and I can't remember the other.
I attended the concert advertised on this at the
Aqua Theater. It was great! (and only $3.00!)
I recommend this disc for those who grew up in the PNW in that era!
It will bring back memories!
The track listings here are WHACK! (wrong)

Full disclosure: I grew up listening to KJR in the 1960's when I was a little kid, so I'm prejudiced. Having said that, this album really captures the feel of what listening to KJR was like back then when they were getting 40 shares in the Arbitron ratings (conversely, if you get above 7 these days in Seattle, you're number one).

There was a sense of energy and fun with KJR that you had to experience, and it really shows through here. I have all but one of the Cruisin' albums (I'm missing the legendary '70 album because I'd have to refinance my hosue to afford it), and this may be the best of all, although there's a lot to be said for the Robert W. Morgan and Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg albums. If you only buy one album in the series, you could do a lot worse than this one.
