One I used as a new DJ was a recording called "Saturday Morning Radio Show".
It was recorded by the Statler Bros., IIRC. It was a unique recording: it
played for 10 minutes, on a 45RPM disc. You had to play it at 33 1/3 RPM.
The only disc I ever saw made that way.

Ah, memories of my first radio job at WORM-AM-FM Savannah TN.
