vintage 60's & 70's progressive radio airchecks & forgotten songs
robear...@yahoo.com
progressive/underground FM radio since 'way back in the "golden age" in
the late 60's and 70's. I've been collecting lots of vintage
progressive radiostation aircheck recordings from back in those days,
so if anyone has any airchecks and would like to trade, please drop me
an email. My email address is: robear...@yahoo.com
There are 100's of bands that were popular on progressive rock radio
back in the old days that are no longer played on today's "classic
rock" formatted radiostations. I'll list a few below, along with some
