Thus Begins Season Five
Tonight, I started the digitization of season five of Tape and Record Show Enterprises "flagship" pretend radio series "The Tape and Record Show", in the order transferred...
"The Tape & Record Show: Episode 392, Broadcast Tuesday, July 12, 1983 at 9:00pm central. Theme Music: New Asteroid Field(John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra). An episode meant for broadcast in 1981. "Bosom Buddies: Kip and Sonny's Date" - Kip goes on his first date with Sonny, while Henry dates Ruth's punkish niece.
The Tape & Record Show: Episode 389, Broadcast Friday, June 24, 1983 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: Any Way You Want It(Journey). "More Unexpergated Benny Hill" - Sketches include: Unlucky Luke, Won At The Pools, Learning All The Time, Youth In Asia, Assorted Comedy Vignettes, and Hill's Angels. / "I Can't Go For That"(Randy Haney/James Stricklin/Daryl Hall and John Oates) / "One Way Or Another"(Blondie, announced by Jerry Sanders) / "Hawkey's Dog Food"(Randy Haney comedy skit) / "The Elvis Presley Story, Part 32: The High of 1963".
The Tape & Record Show: Episode 390, Broadcast Friday, July 1, 1983 at 10:00pm central. Theme Music: Any Way You Want It(Journey). "Blondie Live" - A live concert featuring Deborah Harry and the rest of the Blondie crew performing some of their greatest hits. Songs include: Rapture, Island Of Lost Souls, Expressway, The Tide Is High, Heart of Glass, Hanging On The Telephone, Dreaming Is Sweet, One Way or Another, Start Me Up, Call Me, and closing instrumentals. Taped in Toronto, Canada."
The reason I went "out of order" is because, as listed on the original "broadcast info index cards" from the era, episode 392 was apparently a holdover from a previous season, prior to me having the ability/equipment to dub tapes to a new tape for a readied "broadcast version", so had to reassemble that episode from scratch, so I wanted to get that one out of the way as quickly as possible.
Episode 389 was another of those Benny Hill episodes, where only a few skits make any sense being audio only. In the TRSE produced clip in the episode, "I Can't Go For That", James wasn't drinking, but sounds like he COULD have been drinking, slurring through the song since he didn't know all the words. However, in Randy's "Hawkey's Dog Food" commercial parody, James does a better "Jimmy Carter" than I do "Ronald Reagan" in the impersonation department.
The "Blondie Live" show in episode 390 is FAR from "high fidelity", not even stereo. It was recorded via the headphone jack on the old black and white Sears 12" portable television I had at the time, into a cassette deck, when HBO aired it. Sounds a "bit" better than the original tape today however, as most of my old audio tapes do, via the sound cleaning software I run them through.
