SITVA - CASEY'S TOP 40 (11- 25,26 - 1989) VARIOUS ARTISTS

[maggot]

Good Monday morning gang and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today we remember beloved American disc jockey, music historian, radio personality, actor and voice actor, Casey Kasem, on this, the 6th year anniversary of his death. He passed away in 2014, age 82, from sepsis. He is severely missed. I can honestly say had it not been for Casey Kasem, Stuck In The Vinyl Again would not exist. He instilled a love for music and it's information in me at a young age. I would listen to the Countdowns weekly, a lot of time writing the songs, artists, and chart positions down so I could compare it to the next week's. Our focus today is this 6 record set of Casey's Top 40 for the week ending November 25,26- 1989 , which he hosted from 1989 to 1998. This is one of 8 sets we have and the 3rd one we've feature on the page. these are the broadcast sets that were sent to radio stations nationwide, complete with the countdown, national commercials, and cue sheets. The sets were supposed to be returned to Westwood One each week and destroyed but the practice was rarely enforced. They are some of my most favorite pieces in our collection.
