The Elton John Story
This 2 record set has a complete radio program featuring interviews and comments about the great (Sir) Elton John. It was sent to radio stations in the United Stations/Unistar network to play on air and insert their own commercials at certain times. From what I can find there were two major networks that produced these discs and they merged in 1989 to become Unistar Communications Group. The programs were called "Hot Rocks" and this would be one of the last few under that name before it was changed to "The Weekly Special".
This disc features both classic Elton John songs as well as songs from around the time of this discs release in 1989 such as I Don't Want to Go On With You Like That (from Reg Strikes Back in 1988). The interviews are done by radio personality/dj Steve O'Brien.
These radio show discs are somewhat rare, I have read that they only pressed 50 of a program and that there were not supposed to be kept but rather returned or destroyed after they were aired.
As far as I can tell, this particular program, for the week end of September 29 - Oct 1, 1989 has not been sold on ebay or anywhere else previously.
This release comes with a letter from USP with brief info/instructions for the Station on playing this Hot Rocks program on the given weekend. There is a postcard for 'clearance' that the station was to return stating that they played the program on the given weekend as agreed.
There are two cue sheets with the program schedule, each segment has a pen mark like a check mark next to it.
Condition: Jacket has a bit of cover wear, mainly a small scratch on front cover you can see. There is some light ring wear and corner wear on front and back. Seams are good, no splits. Overall very solid. Vinyl and labels are clean. Original plastic inners have some creasing as seen.
Let me know if you have any questions about this item or shipping.
