REEL TOP 40 RADIO REPOSITORY REAL MEDIA G2 TESTS

UPDATED JULY 2000
REELRADIO G2 REELTESTS

These files were used to demonstrate the Real Networks G2 system while beta-testing the server software and related components in the Fall of 1998 and Spring of 1999. The Real Networks G2 Player is available from Real Networks. REELRADIO is not affiliated in any way with Real Networks.

Look for this symbol on the site; it means the file is available in a 20.7 Kbps G2 format, as well as the older 16.9 Kbps format. It makes the files accessible for RA 5.0 players and older "appliance" players (like WEB-TV).

WOR-FM and How the "X" Came to New York (1967-1974) (11:08)

A clever crystal-clear composite. (Permanent Exhibit is here.)

WABC New York, Composite, 1973 (11:18) (Permanent Exhibit is here.)

Classic WABC in startling fidelity!

KHJ Los Angeles Composite, 1972 (26:42)
Studio recording - right off the console. (Permanent Exhibit is here.)

TC's 1998 PAMS Sampler #1 (29:44) (Permanent Exhibit is here.)

TC's 1998 PAMS Sampler #2 (29:11) (Permanent Exhibit is here.)

A wonderful composite of classics - crisp and clean up to 16Khz!

WCFL Jingle Composite, Part One (13:18) (from the John Rook Collection.)
Not the best quality (cassette) but irresistible content from the pre-TM days.

99X/WXLO New York Top 99 of 1974, Part One (59:37)

99X/WXLO New York Top 99 of 1974, Part Two (46:24)
Mostly processed ON AIR - in stereo. Correcting the mono sum phase error was the major challenge for this one. An amazing exhibit, by content alone, wish AM radio could have sounded this good.
The original New Year's exhibit is here.

The Versatiles Days of the Week, 1960 (7:20)

What a treat to hear some of the "bite" on Futursonic's screaming brass and crisp vocal blends!
The original exhibit is here.

WOR-FM Drake Double A Image Pack (2:07)

Here's Dave Saviet's WOR-FM jingle contribution, from his DAT copy, just because he's been such a great beta tester!

KRTH Robert W. Morgan Retrospective (37:28)

Narrated by Dick Clark and introduced by Gary Owens, here's the KRTH presentation based on and included in the Robert W. Morgan Bossography. Originally broadcast January 9, 1998.

From a nearly virgin copy of the original vinyl. (Future Repository Exhibit, in entirety).

PAMS WFIL Pop-Tops Demo, 1972 (3:51)
