We begin this month's Cassette with a collection of promos from Ron Shapiro/KIIS-AM/FM, Los Angeles, which include a never-aired "Bustin' Out Saturday Night" promo put together with tracks from the classic Casey Kasem "dog dedication" outtake. Following Ron are three "comedic" legal ID's from Dennis Daniel as referred to in this month's Tales of the Tape column from Dennis. Rich Van Slyke also sent some legal ID's which feature Rich's synth & guitar work. Listen for a "promo song" from Ron Erak, and you'll enjoy the spoof from new subscriber and veteran producer, Bobby Ocean. Cut 7, "Earthquake Weekend" comes from Robin Luse/Q106.5 and was done on his new Dyaxis.
Side B kicks off with Susan Berkley's voice demo. We thank Susan for the tips in this month's feature article on making a great voice demo. Cut 3 features more synth work from Rich Van Slyke and is a definite ear grabber for an audio store. More musical production talents are featured on cut 5 from Frank Scales. The rest of side B is filled with more of the top notch writing and production we're getting very used to hearing on The Cassette! Gold stars for everyone!
