The Big Montage on WPLJ New York | 1978
One of our most popular attractions has to be this fabulous montage put together and aired by Pat St. John. It’s been remastered and put to CD now - and we have it for you in it’s entirety.
This also is included in a Pat St. John retrospective which will get re-uploaded to our new archives sometime soon.

Thanks again to Matt Seinberg for this addition!

I remember listening to WPLJ in the 70’s and waiting for these little tidbits to air at the top of the hour. I put them all togther on reel to reel, and one day Pat St. John put the “Big Montage” on in it’s entirety. Naturally after 20 something years, the reel didn’t play to well. I asked Pat for a copy of it, and he sent me a CD copy of it along with some other stuff. I’ve known Pat since I was in high school, and we’re still in contact today. He’s a great jock, and a good friend.
Well I stumbled on to this website somehow and played the “big montage” in the office for a friend of mine. Talk about bringing back the memories. WPLJ was the only station I listened to back then and its very cool to hear the music, and the DJ’s names. Thanks for the bit of “time travel”. This is a keeper for me.
Where can I buy the CD?
Nice hearing the WPLJ Big Montage. Any of the other mixes they have done? Is there a cd available?
Nice hearing the complete WPLJ montage. Any other mixes from their hey day available? Is there a cd available?
I know you converted this about three years ago now, but I’m hoping you’ll be able to re-do the tape onto 128/44 mp3 in stereo. This really brought back memories but it was frustrating to have it in such a lo-fi format. And in RealAudio? I had to install the player just to listen to your rm file. Plus it seems a little fast.
Hopefully you can re-do it.
Thanks
