Our thanks to Tom O'Reilly for this aircheck of WLS from 1987.

TOP STREAM 32Kbps (10KHz) Larry Lujack, WLS Chicago, August 12, 1987 (40:45) This Exhibit 'SCOPED (00:00) UNSCOPED 'SCOPED . . . Strange, But False . . . [Description by Uncle Ricky] The Strange, But False feature near the beginning of this aircheck is probably the most entertaining element - and it has no station ID! It's used to bridge a couple of records, records from the fairly "hip" playlist featured by the station as they neared the end of their long-running music format. This performance was only a couple of weeks before Larry Lujack's last show. And the aircheck is mostly music (some of it restored), with the exception of a local newscast featuring Jeff Hendrix, sports, and a traffic report.
