WNIC SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE LEE ALAN NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY!
_______________
This WNIC recording, having been long-held as part of our Detroit radio collection, essentially was found incomplete in its recorded form. And while the recording’s quality varies, nevertheless its contents is worthy, in my view, for posting today as our featured presentation on this New Year’s Eve, 2021.
The WNIC broadcast was recorded on two 100 minute cassette tapes. In the process of enhancing the audio, I removed, having edited in part, about a half hour of the recording found in the b-side of tape one. This was due to excessive ‘wow and flutter’ having been picked up during the recording process. Also, it bears noting the official ‘countdown to 1983’ (in-studio with Lee Alan) was not found in the recordings as well. What we do have is what you will be listening to today.
Nevertheless, this was a special WNIC New Year’s Eve presentation. The broadcast was taped by our friend Greg Innis. He has kept them in his personal Detroit radio airchecks collection for the past thirty-nine years. As you listen, you will immediately note it is chock-full of listener call-in’s, great memories, stories and sounds, having shared with a large WNIC audience by The Horn on New Year’s Eve night, December 31, 1982.
Lastly, in commemoration of this featured presentation, I also added extensively more to Lee Alan’s exclusive feature (he shared for the broadcast) of Chuck Berry’s live performance at the Walled Lake Casino near the end of the recording.
Enjoy. Lee Alan’s New Year’s Eve Party on WNIC. Happy New Year!
