Back To Converting After A Short Break
After taking a little "time off" from the project of digitizing the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives, I continued it this evening by converting the old "broadcast" audio cassettes of the final two "season six" episodes of the flagship series, and another three episodes of "TRS Jukebox"...

Theme Music: HBO Video Jukebox Theme. - Songs include: Raging Eyes(Jim Lowe), Come Dancing (The Kinks), Young Guns(Wham), Dixieland Delight(Alabama), I'll Be Satisfied(Shakin' Stevens), Annie(Kid Creole and the Coconuts), Mr. Sandman(Emmylou Harris), Beat It(Michael Jackson).
TRS Jukebox: Episode 11: Broadcast Thursday, August 11, 1983 at 7:30pm central. Theme Music: HBO Video Jukebox Theme. - Songs include: Rapture(Blondie), We Got The Beat(The GoGo's), Ode To Billie Joe(Bobbie Gentry), The Man With The Golden Gun(Shirley Bassey), Hopelessly Devoted To You(Olivia Newton-John), Lollipop(The Chordettes), Promises In The Dark(Pat Benatar), Music Makes Me(Ginger Rogers).
TRS Jukebox: Episode 12: Broadcast Thursday, August 18, 1983 at 7:30pm central. Theme Music: HBO Video Jukebox Theme. - Songs include: She Blinded Me With Science(Thomas Dolby), Don't Blame It On Love(Daryl Hall and John Oates), Ballad Of The Green Berets(Sgt. Barry Sadler), Atomic Dog(George Clinton), Here Comes The Grump(Adam Ant), Your Imagination(Daryl Hall and John Oates), Elvis Medley(Randy Haney)."
Episode 436 was yet another "album hour", this time featuring a slightly lesser known album by Daryl Hall and John Oates. Midway through, as filler material to pad the episode out to an hour, is a heavily edited/shortened version of the Sanford and Son episode "Tower Power", which first appeared on one of the two "90 Minute Sanford and Son Movie" compilations from earlier Tape and Record Show seasons.
The episode description of 437 is fairly self-explanatory, so no need to explain any further, except to maybe bring up the controversy around the short song "Farewell to John Denver", which IS on my original first release of the "Contractual Obligation Album", minus the Terry Jones apology... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python's_Contractual_Obligation_Album . The "most requested scenes" blurb was just an excuse to make the compilation sound more extravagant, since none of these shows were ever ACTUALLY "broadcast" anywhere. It was just skits I tossed together from my various sources.
The "TRS Jukebox" series started out on the TRSE "network" as a weekly series "broadcasting" the audio from the HBO series "Video Jukebox". However, the HBO show wasn't weekly, so I ran out of "soundtracks" quickly since I made the TRS version a weekly show. As is obvious in episode 11, I had to start digging into the TRSE archives record collection to assemble new episodes. However, I still used the short HBO Video Jukebox theme music for the episodes. The song "Be Stiff" by Toni Basil (after "We Got The Beat"), wasn't listed on the original "broadcast card" for episode 11 for some reason, along with "Rip Her To Shreds" by Blondie(after "Atomic Dog") in episode 12, probably clerical errors by me at the time. At the close of episode 12, there was a compilation of excerpts by Randy Haney singing Elvis Presley songs from previous "Life of Elvis" and "Comedy Hour" episodes.
