fiogf49gjkf0d I'll scan it on the big scanner at work next week, and email it to you as a PDF. I am probably one of the few people in the world who appreciates this as much as you do. If I ever decide to sell this in the future, you will have first crack at buying it back. -Jman

Oh, thank goodness I know where it is! Now I won't go looking for it among my still unorganized stuff. Do you have any scans of that sleeve that I can have?

Tim, Thanks for sharing this.
By the way, that "Best of Dick Purtan" album that you had autographed by all of the Detroit radio greats back in '88, including Casey, is now proudly cherished and safely stored in my personal collection.

Here is a link to a tribute to Casey Kasem on DickPurtan.com. I hope you radio lovers will take a look at it. Of how Casey was a radio actor, first in early 50s radio on WXYZ's Long Ranger and Sgt. Preston of the Yukon. A note of me being there in the background at that 1988 Detroit Radio Reunion in the comments on this Dick Purtan page. Video from "Radio's Best Friend", Art Vuolo (.com).

fiogf49gjkf0d I originally found AT40 on WABC-AM in New York...was able to pick it up all the way from Cape Cod. Listened there from 1979-82...
...because in 1982, I noticed the show was on Boston's WROR, which sadly dropped AT40 (and Dr. D, btw) in 1986 when they format-flipped.
It would be 1987 before WKPE in Orleans, MA started carrying AT40. It continued to carry it until WKPE flipped in 1992. When CT40 started airing in 1989, WXKS in Boston carried it...and WRZE in Hyannis carried CT40 when it went on the air as a Top-40 station. It carried CT40 until the show stopped, and switched to Rick Dees' show.
...mainly because WYST in Yarmouth got the new AT40 as soon as it format-flipped to Top 40 in March 1998.
Then I moved to Minneapolis, and KDWB was one of the new AT40's original affiliates, and it remains one....the fact that the new AT40 and KDWB are both owned by ClearChannel I assume figures heavily into that.

fiogf49gjkf0d In San Diego, on great radio stations like KDEO 910, KGB-AM 1360, The Mighty 690, and out of Los Angeles, KIQQ 100.3. I couldn't get KIIS-FM or AM from where I lived when it had AT40 until 1983.

fiogf49gjkf0d I grew up listening to him "...on great radio stations like 1550, KEDD - The Rock of Dodge City Kansas."
I still have cassette tapes of his shows from the mid-late 70's that I recorded off AM radio.

fiogf49gjkf0d I listened to him on KRLA in Los Angeles in the 1960s before the American Top 40.

fiogf49gjkf0d RIP Casey. It is fitting that he would die on a Sunday, because it is the day for American Top 40. At last, he found the stars that he was reaching for. And still number 1.
