I was listening to both discs of this program over the past few days. Boy, compared to some radio programs that I have from the late 80’s (1987-1990) on LP, the sound quality is rough. A lot of the tracks seem to have been remixed to allow for playback on both mono stations and stereo. Maybe they were processed in the CSG process. But then again, Sam Riddle was probably using transcription discs or specially prepared LP’s, that were at least 1 analog generation away from the master tapes. Even “Ticket To Ride”, which is the 1969 version, sounds like the stereo version was reprocessed for this show so that it sounded ok on both mono and stereo stations. It doesn’t sound like he was using tape. Of course I think the one exception might’ve been “Flat Baroque” which was from ‘Your Navy Presents’.
I also found it interesting how, by 1971, they were still being Presented as Karen and Richard as the leads of the group, since there were a few Richard leads, like “Flat Baroque & I Kept On Loving You”.
