Tonight, I digitized three more "broadcasts" of the "Tape and Record Show" spin-off series "TRS Jukebox" from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives, from the original compiled audio cassettes...

Theme Music: HBO Video Jukebox Theme. - Songs include: A Time For Fear(Art of Noise), State of Shock(The Jacksons/Mick Jagger), Computer Age(Newcleus), I Need Your Love Tonight(Elvis Presley), Rock Box(Run-D.M.C.), Promised Land(Elvis Presley/James Stricklin/Albert Sims), Puss 'n' Boots(Adam Ant).

TRS Jukebox: Episode 46: Broadcast Wednesday, August 22, 1984 at 7:00pm central. Theme Music: HBO Video Jukebox Theme. - Songs include: Human Touch(Rick Springfield), Don't Pay The Ferryman(Chris BeBurgh), The Night(Animals), King of Pain(The Police), This Time(Bryan Adams), Rock of Ages(Def Leppard), Mexican Radio(Wall of Voodoo), Promises Promises(Naked Eyes)."

Couple of notes about episode 44: It closes with an abbreviated version of Johnny Cash's "Johnny 99", which wasn't mentioned on the original handwritten "broadcast" index card. Also, I'd personally like to apologize to everyone on the planet for the rendition/butchering of Elvis' "Promised Land" performed by James Stricklin and myself in the episode. :-P

The songs in episode 46 were mainly extracted from the 1983 K-Tel compilation album "Hot Tracks". K-Tel had a habit of shortening songs and lowering sound fidelity to fit more songs on an album. Apologies to longtime online friend Tammy if she's reading this, but I can't listen to "King of Pain" by The Police without hearing "Weird Al" Yankovic's "King of Suede" in my head!
