WXYZ 1270 RECALLED! LEE ALAN BACK ON THE RADIO: JULY 8, 1966

_______________

NEW! A special THANK YOU to Brad Jankowski, of Wyandotte, MI., for his recent aircheck contribution for the Motor City Radio Flashbacks collection.

Newly restored! This selected audio recording was digitally enhanced by Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

NOTE: Despite this recording is 57 years old, it was pretty much dull in sound, inasmuch, it was just “flat.” The audio was also found with excessive background hum in the recording. You may notice the audio track may sound a little dense. This resulted, after I was able to extract the background noise in this aircheck and having cleaned up the audio, as well. For this process, I used the Magix Audio Cleaning Lab software. Here is the final end result. The donor’s contribution is cordially appreciated, always. [J.F.]
