Notes:  This radio interview series was issued in the 1970's and focused on big artists of the day.  They were aired as Public Service religious broadcasts throughout a particular month.  Each short individual broadcast was comprised primarily of snippets of one hit song (or of several songs) by the featured artist, along with the artist speaking briefly about the song, the band, and/or their thoughts about music.  The "interview" is usually a phone conversation, source unknown. The series was produced by and for Presbyterian Church USA in Atlanta, GA.

These interview 45's were sent for radio station play only and never commercially released or for sale.  Contractually they were to be destroyed after airing. Although at its height the series was broadcast by over 600 stations, the records themselves are difficult to find in general, and especially in Mint or excellent condition.

Original US pressing.

Clean and wear free labels.

NO writing, stickers, tape or residue on sleeve or labels.

NO bar code.

This is an original pressing, vinyl 45 RPM 7” single record, not a newly remastered re-issue.  We only sell vintage vinyl. This single comes from a large collection of mostly DJ promo copies from late 60’s and early 70’s, most of which are in deliciously fine condition.
