Happy New Year and welcome to the first edition of The Cassette for 1996! We begin on Side A with a great demo from this month's interview subject, Georgann John. The rest of Side A is filled with the usual healthy supply of creative promos. "Behind the scenes" writers will love cut 2 from CHEZ-FM!
Side B opens with audio for this month's Producer's VU column. Read the article then check out the spot. Tuna Jon Rose gives anyone in a 2-track studio a ton of inspiration with his efforts on this commercial! More creative commercials fill out the rest of Side B, and we close with another spoof spot from Rich Boerner. This one comes from the station's new CD, "Realapalooza '95" which benefits The Children's Right Foundation in Florida. They're hoping to raise $40,000 selling the CD.
