We begin Side A with a super demo from last month's interview subject, Jay Rose. We delayed putting his demo on The Cassette because of the RAP Awards. So grab last month's issue, refresh your memory, then check out the demo! More creative promo production fills out the rest of Side A. There's lots of Valentine's stuff. Cuts 7, 8 and 9 are three attention-grabbing promos from Daryl Missen for a promotion sponsored by Virgin Cola.
Side B opens with audio for this month's Producer's VU column. Read the column, then listen. Or listen, then read! Either way, there's lots to learn from Rich Van Slyke on this one! The first half of Side B contains commercials. We use the last half of the side to offer a nice approach on a sales demo for WCKG-FM from Bill Towery. That's followed by a piece that aired at noon on February 10 at WYNY-FM, New York when they changed formats to CHR/Rhythmic WKTU. Bill Schultz says he's lovin' the changes. We wrap up the side with a couple of spoof spots.
