The "In" Sound With Harry Harrison


Tommy James - Mirage (mp3)

In the mid 1960's, Harry Harrison had a weekly radio spot where he asked fans what they thought the next hit would be.  He conducted brief interviews with the band, played the selected song and plugged the army.   I wonder how many of these are out there.

Oh wow... This is an awesome blast from the past! Too bad it doesn't have the "Hah-REE Har-iss-son" jingle, but hearing that voice? Great stuff.
Thanks!

I do know that "Sillouettes" put a LP out of Brother John Rydgren, which is excellent (If you want, lemme know), but Didn't know about this or other DJ's having releases...
Thanx!
