Rick Hammel and Kevin O’Brien, CJJD Hamilton ONT, Canada | 1972
Good radio knows no bounds, and our good neigbors to the north had an abundance of great radio stations with awesome talent.
Back in ’72, one can really get a feel for how radio worked, and still works in Canada – hits you won’t remember (for U.S. listeners) because they were Canadian artists, of which the CTRC, Canada’s radio regulating body similar to the U.S. FCC, mandated a certain percentage of. It actually works well for Canadian groups who otherwise would never even get a shot on American radio or labels. I digress.
This recording sounds like someone simply put a mic in front of a radio speaker. Didn’t we all do that at one time or another before we knew any better??

With hits from the Bee Gees, Paul Davis and Firefall, This was more like 78.
You’re right about the date….I was in grade 10 in 1972. Rick and I worked together in 1978
Amazing – I loved it.
Most of this is from May, 1979.
(Young drivers advert refers to Tuesday May 1 and Rod Stewart concert on May 6 – both happened in 1979.)
