As with the last few episodes in season two, I was leaning heavier on LP records near the end of season three. Guessing it was because my blank cassette budget to record new material from the television was running low near season end, so to cut down on repeat "broadcasts", I raided my record collection for a few episodes.
Episodes 317, 323, and 328 included the original motion picture soundtrack from "Grease", digitized from the original 1978 RSO Records double-LP set. I COULD have used the 1980's CD reissue and ripped the songs quickly, but I dug out the album instead, for a more "authentic" early 1980's "Tape and Record Show" experience. Not all songs were written on the old "broadcast" index cards at the time, which I used for the program descriptions, but the entire soundtrack contents ARE included in the three episodes. The third part included a couple of repeat songs to pad it out to a half hour for the original "broadcast".
In episode 329, Mark Russell, in his PBS special, talks about government cheese, genocide, prayer in schools, reviews the previous year, and has predictions for 1982.
Episode 338 was most of the content from the 1961 RCA Hank Snow album "Big Country Hits: Songs I Hadn't Recorded Till Now". The season ran out before "part two" could be "aired".
