Welcome to another auction by Charis Music Group, we love radio shows and figure you do too or else you wouldn't be looking here! If this isn't the show you're looking for, just write. If we don't have it, chances are Ken Ott (audioavenues) has it!

Charis Music Group is glad to help parties interested in having their Casey Kasem AT40 or Casey's Top 40 sets listed. The majority of our listings are for sellers who cannot do this on their own. Interested sellers may contact us for details. This set is from my personal collection.

You are bidding on the multi-LP countdown entitled Opus 74 hosted by Larry McKay. I'm not sure what the source of the chart was for calculating this top 100. A cool feature is that it is loaded with interviews with the artists in between songs. Almost an interview for every song! The LPs look great, there is no nor cue sheets. As always, we include the remastered CD set. As a bonus, we're also adding in for you to compare, American Top 40's Top 100 Hits of 1974 and it is identical to the one we sent to the archives for Premiere Radio for future airing!!! These are the ORIGINAL, unedited shows as they originally aired.
