SRP EASY LISTENING Tape 1368 AC

[@drakbar5957]

Jib On The Web brought me here. They do a commendable job of maintaining Schulke’s high standards, while giving their station a creative image.

WPAT was the great music of the sixties and seventies. Listened as a youngster with my grandfather. Taking a break from rock

[@brianarbenz1329]

I had nervous anxiety problems as a teenager. While other kids listened to the hard rock FM stations, I would listen to the easy listening stations. They really calmed me.

Great Stuff!!! Brings back the good memories I remember as a youngster and teenager!!! It REALLY was a much BETTER Time!!!🌞😻🙏🏼✌🏼

Awesomeness! Thank you. First radio job was at WQXY-FM Baton Rouge, a Schulke affiliate. Not only the music but especially the IMAGES of the boxes, reels, even the ubiquitous old yellow "tails out" tags that flew everywhere around the control room.... great memories of a great format that largely departed the commercial broadcast scene way too soon. :-)

Thanks for the artist information!

[@SurferJoe1]

Great contextual information in addition to the music itself. I had no idea the Beautiful Music format was concerned about staying current- or attracting younger listeners! And after a lot of enjoyable searching here through Muzak and K-Mart reels, etc., this- incidentally- is precisely what I remember from Atlanta's WPCH and a few other stations.

[@Sailormac2]

And the cutthroat ratings war! Schulke and Bonneville were going at each other like Coke and Pepsi! An entertaining tidbit I’m sure most people had no idea of.

Night Sounds for Night People.... Beautiful Music. WKTZ fm, Jones College Radio Jacksonville Florida. I miss it so much.

[@thomash.schwed3662]

WKTZ-FM was the crown jewel of the radio scene in Jacksonville. For that matter, it was without question the crown jewel of Jacksonville. It was a sad day when Jones College announced that they were no longer receiving enough support from listeners to keep the radio broadcast going-and a sadder day still when they later decided to stop streaming.

[@LarryMossey]

I spent six years playing these tapes at WHSH, Albany NY. There's something different about SRP music, besides the sonic purity. I didn't like the music then because I was a 20-something pup, but I always appreciated the quality of the recordings. After our contract lapsed we switched to Kala Music and it hurt my ears.

Wow thank u from germany! I guess u digitalised this yourself? Really good sound quality! (I'm a pro sound engineer so I know.. :)

[@CV2200A]

I digitized these in 2001 using a 400 MHz Pentium PC and burned to CD. At that time, that PC could only digitize one song at a time instead of today digitizing the whole tape directly to MP3. One of the 3 tapes (I believe 3262) had a few songs recorded over by a 1/4 track machine. I was able to play what was not erased backwards on a 1/4 track deck. Then use the Windows Pocket Recorder to reverse it back to normal. Thanks for the good comments.

Read the book "Radio, my love, my passion" by Marlin R. Taylor. Very interesting book on the history of the easy listening music radio format which was established by Marlin Taylor. He is basically the father of establishing the easy listening music format across the nation.

[@CV2200A]

I bought this book when it first came out. Great book!

[@Catloverplayer]

Amazon has a lot of beautiful music you can download. You just have to be familiar with who the b/ez artist are. Now there are b/ez on here that aren't available.

[@richwood186]

These reels have clearly been edited. The pauses between cuts have been shortened. I knew Jim Schulke and Phil Stout and the pauses were very important to them.

[@CV2200A]

In 2001 the PC I had could only make WAV files and there wasn't enough RAM to record the entire tape. So I made a WAV file for each song. Not only are there no pauses between selections but I did not record the cue tones and head alignment tone. Today I could re-record the whole tape but the 2001 WAV files convey the songs. I remember mention of giving enough pause between some selections to savor the song. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@70sleftover]

That Jim Schulke must've been doing something right in his obsession with detail and selections of songs, because my father much preferred WWSH (106 FM) in Philadelphia over their bigger local competitor WDVR (101FM). He would say the music on "Wish" was peppier, more lively. As a kid at the time I sure didn't find any of these instrumental stations lively, but now probably mainly for the nostalgia I sure do miss the format on broadcast radio.

[@SurferJoe1]

@@70sleftover I feel exactly the same way. This music was riding in my mom's station wagon, and sitting outside the principal's office waiting to be chewed out- two frequent activities for me in the seventies and early eighties. I cringed then, especially over the frequently-played 'la-la' version of "Imagine"- anyone know who that was? But it's all a pure trip home to me now.

Do you also want the alignment tone at the beginning of the tape and any dead time between that tone and the music start? Another possibility is for you to buy the tape(s) provided you have a 10" tape deck. On tape 3262 CA, someone recorded over the first 5 selections with a 1/4 track machine. I was able to recover those first 5 selections by playing the tape backwards with a 1/4 track machine then digitally reverse the recording. I have already sold my 4 Muzak tapes to someone else. So I don't mind selling these 3 original SRP tapes.

The Bible says there will be a new Heaven and a new earth and God says He will make all things new. So I think that music in that time will be so much richer and better than anything we’ve ever heard so far that this music will seem simple and boring by comparison.

No 7" reels. SRP only offered them to radio stations on 10" reels. WPAT asked for 14" reels at 15 ips but was declined.

[@CV2200A]

The 3262 CA tape is missing 2 selections that KZbin Copyright would prohibit being watched. So for that tape, pauses between selections wouldn't be correct. On that KZbin video, I inserted an arbitrary silence where the two songs are missing.

[@Catloverplayer]

I wish they'd release a digital version of Girl Of My Dreams by Ronnie Aldrich. I've been after that one for years. They've got a lot of Aldrich albums on Amazon now but not the one he did that song on. Anybody know what album it was?

[@hollywoodfinch]

Hi Catloverplayer! On KZbin there is a version of "Girl of My Dreams" by Richard Alden (who is really Ronnie Aldrich), but uses the pseudonym Richard Alden when recording for Readers' Digest. That particular cut is on Readers' Digest boxset titled, "Two Hearts in 3/4 Time". That was from 1969. It's not available and Out-of Print. But you can hear it on KZbin under Richard Alden - "Girl of my Dreams". It was also available on Readers' Digest from 1973 on a double record set called "The Shadow of Your Smile".

[@Catloverplayer]

@@hollywoodfinch Thank you that's it. Music Choice had it listed as by Ronnie Aldrich.

[@Sailormac2]

So much thought went into this presentation the songs seem to flow into one another. Beautiful music programmers were as much mixologists as club DJs were. It’s such a shame the format ended up with a reputation as the lowest of the low when it came to radio entertainment. (Largely because of innumerable sitcoms using a bad rendition of The Girl From Ipanema as a punchline).

2nd song My Foolish Heart I don't know the artist perhaps it's Ronnie Aldridge. Next song The Good Life.

[@70sleftover]

I agree it sounds like Ronnie Aldridge, whose '60s era music I got to know from working in the 1990s at a store that had a CD version of That Aldridge Feeling on their high-tech (to me at the time) multi-CD player. (I guess the CD player was our store owner's cheap answer to Muzak and similar services.) I preferred that CD to the other four or so in the rotation, as a lot were the really hip (at the time) late '80s-90s sort of jazz guitar stuff.
