We begin Side A with a demo from Willie B!, this month's interview subject. It's seven minutes of first class production which, by the way, was the first demo for The Cassette delivered to Radio And Production on compact disc! We didn't get a photo of Willie in time for press, but we did get one. Thought you'd like to know he was surrounded by four beautiful young women! Okay, maybe we'll put the photo up on the Web site.... Cut 2 is audio for this month's Producer's VU column, an excellent promo from Lonnie Perkins. The rest of Side A is filled with promos from around the globe. Cut 5 features some custom music Paul Goguen knocked out on his Ensoniq TS-12. If you're doing custom music for spots/promos, we'd love to hear it. Send it in for next month's Cassette!
Side B opens with three nicely done Christmas PSAs from John Crowe and Focus on the Family. These are three of a series of twelve PSAs that are being offered to stations free of charge, while supplies last. If you'd like to put the series on your station, contact Briargate Media at 719/531-3300. The rest of Side B delivers a nice selection of commercials, followed by a couple of funny spoof spots followed by a couple of great sweeper montages.
