LOS ANGELES — Something that no deejay should be without is the new “Cruisin ‘Series” on Increase Records and GRT Tapes which feature music and air personalities such as Robin Seymour, WKMH in Detroit from 1956; Joe Niagara, WIBG in Philadelphia from 1957; Jack Carney, WIL in St. Louis from 1958; Hunter Hancock, KGFJ in Los Angeles from 1959; Dick Biondi, WKBW in Buffalo from 1960; Arnie Ginsburg, WMEX in Boston from 1961; and Russ (Weird Beard) Knight, KLIF in Dallas from 1962.

None of those guys are with those stations anymore. What the records/tapes are, of course, are their shows in those particular years — complete with music.  They were produced exclusively for distribution by Chess/GRT by Ron Jacobs, former program director for KHJ in Los Angeles. The records have everything, jingles, commercials, and even Arnie Ginsburg’s cowbells or whatever. It nostalgic to listen to them and hear those hits from yesteryear and what radio was all about. We suggest you latch unto some copies for a trip back to those wonderful days of classic American pop radio as it was then one more time. END
