RAP-CD-logo-2Happy New Year and welcome to the January 2014 R.A.P. CD! First up is this month’s Editor’s Choice Award winner, an excellent Nelson Mandela tribute from Colin McGinness at the UKRD Group in Redruth, UK, a piece Colin turned out rather quickly and had on all UKRD stations the next morning following Mr. Mandela’s death. Next up is an impressive imaging demo from this month’s interview subject, Bill Schultz at Greater Media in Philadelphia. It begins with BEN FM material, followed by stuff for the sports station, The Fanatic, and winds up with fun ‘KTU material circa 1996-2003. Tracks 3 and 4 are two spots from Blaine Parker that we forgot to put on last month’s CD, which are referenced in his article, “7 Steps to Mercury” [December 2013 RAP]. Track 5 is Dave Foxx’s Production 212 audio, and we get more hot promo work on tracks 6 through 9. Commercials are on tracks 10 through 15, and we wrap it up with some slick imaging montages on tracks 16-20.
