Another Year End Mirage
In an earlier post a few evenings ago, I stated all episodes of "The James Stricklin Song Mirage" had been digitized. Well, I lied. I had completely forgotten about the two "year end" three hour specials from New Years' 1984 and 1985, in which James re-capped several songs played on the show during the year. So, tonight, I digitized the second of the two specials...
"James Stricklin Song Mirage: 1985 Year In Review. Broadcast Wednesday, January 1,1986 at 12:38am central. Theme Music: Turn Up The Radio(Autograph). Hosts: James Stricklin and Albert Sims. Songs in this three hour year end retrospective include: Do You Really Wanna Hurt Me(Culture Club), Lucky Star(Madonna), Rubber Biscuit(The Blues Brothers), Hello Again(The Cars), Turn Up The Radio(Autograph), Atomic Dog(George Clinton), Wild Boys(Duran Duran), Talking Back(The Gap Band), Winds of Change(Jefferson Starship), Bad Reputation(Joan Jett and The Blackhearts), Crawfish(Elvis Presley), Monster Mix(Randy Haney), Sussudio(Phil Collins), Blue Moon(The Marcels), We Want Prince(Sexual Harrassment), Kentucky Rain(Elvis Presley/Randy Haney), 19(Paul Hardcastle), Makin' It(David Naughton/Jacob J. Welsh), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band(The Beatles/James Stricklin/Randy Haney), The Longest Time(Billy Joel/James Stricklin/Randy Haney), St. Elmo's Fire(John Paar), The Show(Doug E. Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew), No Show(Symbolic Three), All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight(Hank Williams, Jr./James Stricklin/Paul Morrison), State of Shock(Harvey Leeds), Money For Nothing(Dire Straits)."
Unlike the 1984 year end retrospective, which just played songs from the previous year that "aired" on the Song Mirage, the 1985 retrospective included actual clips from episodes "aired" during the year, with new discussions about the clips by James and I between the clips. so guess it could be classified as a "clip show". This was yet another recording in which the secondary "broadcast copy" seems to be missing from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises "archives" (aka "the bedroom closet"), so I had to use the original "master" audio cassettes for the digitization. However, this was a recording which required no extra editing, so it is exactly how the "broadcast copy" would have sounded. The original recording date on the "master" version was Sunday, December 29, 1985.
