In July 2009 the show "Scratchy 45's and Beyond" was created and produced live weekly on FM 106.1 WSCA. With a "retro" appeal of Top 40/Album Rock radio from the 60s-80s the show captures your memory banks re-living the music, jingles, and funn... personality-style radio you heard back then on your AM-FM transistor radio. Tune in 8 AM (ET) Saturday mornings to WSCA radio with your favorite streami

ng device, smartphone or along the NH Seacoast on FM 106.1. Wondering how this came about....I got my handle "The Supersport" back during the mid 70's, while on CB before the hit single "Convoy" and the related /"CB craze" , as well because my first car was a '66 Chevy Super Sport. You know, the one with the rear speaker built into the back seat! I always loved listening to the radio while growing up in Boston, MA including DX'ing other "Top 40" radio stations across the country and in Canada on the AM Band, and way before internet streaming. I am a huge fan of "Top 40" and Album Oriented Rock (AOR) "retro" radio from the 60's - 80's, and let's not forget those cool jingles we heard. I have not figured out why I never got into radio programming, but given the corporate "cookie-cutting" techniques that have occurred in radio over the years, I am glad that I did not. Today's "corporate" radio is not very creative, in my opinion, unlike Portsmouth, NH Seacoast Community Radio, FM 106.1 - WSCA and wscafm.org. Thanks so much for the past 12+ years of great support not only for the show, also of WSCA-FM which is a non-profit community radio station supporting local, diverse, and live programming.

On This Day in 1966, The Beatles Released Revolver

On August 5, 1966, The Beatles released Revolver, the groundbreaking album that forever changed the possibilities of popular music. Moving beyond traditional pop, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr embraced bold experimentation, innovative studio techniques, and musical influences ranging from Indian classical music to psychedelia.



The album featured timeless classics including "Eleanor Rigby," "Taxman," "Here, There and Everywhere," "Yellow Submarine," "She Said She Said," "Good Day Sunshine," and "Tomorrow Never Knows." Producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick introduced revolutionary recording methods that helped redefine what could be achieved in a recording studio.



Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever made, Revolver influenced countless artists and marked a turning point in rock history. Nearly six decades later, it continues to stand as one of The Beatles' most innovative and influential masterpieces.

On This Day in 1974, Bachman–Turner Overdrive Released Not Fragile

On August 3, 1974, Bachman–Turner Overdrive released Not Fragile, the album that propelled the Canadian rock band to international superstardom. Building on the success of their previous releases, BTO delivered a heavier, harder-hitting sound that perfectly captured the spirit of 1970s arena rock.



Featuring the classic hit "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," alongside powerful tracks such as "Roll On Down the Highway," "Sledgehammer," and the title track, the album showcased Randy Bachman's masterful guitar work, Fred Turner's unmistakable vocals, and the band's driving rhythm section. The record quickly became their biggest commercial success.



Not Fragile reached No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and became one of the defining hard rock albums of the decade. Today, it remains the undisputed centerpiece of Bachman–Turner Overdrive's legendary catalog.
