I used to tape songs from the radio when I was a kid. I kind of wish I had taped it all the way through (jingles, commercials, etc). I'm kind of a radio aircheck buff too and I can only find a few airchecks of my local station growing up.

A snippet of a show off a radio station. There's a site that has all sorts of those (mostly American but I think there's a pirate radio station in there somewhere). You can check out this site, but you'll have to join (it's free) and you'll need Real Player to play the airchecks. There are other sites too where it's easier to listen to the airchecks.

Also, if you like AM radio from the sixties and seventies, WABC has a great website with a lot of airchecks from their history. And you shouldn't have to go through any red tape to hear them.

These airchecks are from before the shock jocks took over. There are a few from the eighties on reelradio from notorious characters such as the Greaseman, but most of them are from anywhere between 1957 and 1980 or so.
I'd recommend WABC though. You can listen to the airchecks on MP3 there and the personalities weren't especially grating (and of course the music is great, though the songs tend to be edited out). |

Put on a good pair of headphones and listen to side 2 of Abbey Road all the way through. You will be forever converted.

I would agree, to an extent. I'm no fan of The Beatles, but that album is superb. Nevertheless, it did not convert me and nor do I ever see myself getting big into the Fab Four. But AR is an album everyone needs to hear.
