This great 20 minute 1962 segment and the notes below were sent by a member of our message group:
Subject: WPAT Mix Circa 1962
I used to tape WPAT when they would have a series. That is, they
would play the same some in different styles (vocal, instrumental,
jazz) and kind of "splice" them together, on a theme (Italian, Jewish,
Russian, etc) that would last for about 30 minutes. I only have one
of these on tape, the rest were lost.
...
If you called WPAT, they would tell you the album that the song they
played came from. I bought Irving Field's "Bagels and Bongos" album
that way.
WPAT's programming was well thought out and inovative.
...
This is the only surviving WPAT tape. I have split the file into several
pieces to allow it to pass through the e mail system.
You can put the sections back together with PKZIP 8.1.
Enjoy them,
Barbara Marie
