Over Hill and Vale

Whiter than white, Jerry Vale covers Bobby Sherman's "Seattle" and makes Bobby sound like James Brown. And what's with that kinda creepy title?

(This is a vinyl rip, but I liked the 8-track pic so I used it instead.)

Moldy Oldies

WCBS-FM was one of the first notable oldies stations in the country, with the format dating back to July 7, 1972. Except for a brief unsuccessful foray into the "Jack" format, it has remained mostly oldies ever since.

The station has over the years released a number of oldies compilations focusing on various decades. Unfortunately the CD reissues have tended to differ from the vinyl releases.

Here's a five disc box set of material from the Warner Brothers catalog going as far back as "C'mon Everybody". No need to list the tracks - you'll know everything here. A nice semi-surprise was the appearance of the Dwight Twilley Band.
