Russ Gibb WCSX FM 1989 & Carl Banas CKFM 1974

***A note to air check traders. Please do not record these air checks and try and trade. I have the original tapes many of which I recorded myself and thus the authenticity can not be in doubt and can be easily traced.

The first two clips feature Detroit media legend Russ Gibb on Detroit classic rocker WCSX FM   from Feb 1989. I  have a number of Russ Gibb  air checks from free form WKNR FM on the site and in contrast to his rambling style on those he is more focused here but a free form ethos is still apparent on this air check from 1989.

The music featured is by an early free form staple Jethro Tull and a program called Rock Chronicles and Gibb also plays a track by the Ian Anderson produced Steeleye Span. The outro  song he uses for the  program is by another early free form artist Tim Buckley.

I have more tape of the regular and somewhat early classic rock format of WCSX that I will upload in the future.

The third clip is from AC giant CKFM  FM from May  30, 1974 with Carl Banis. The air check is somewhat fractured  but interesting and features some  faux classical electronic music.
