The advertisement for Lyle's Record City on the K/MEN magazine page is sure a nice reminder of the establishment I use to hang out in for hours on end. Looking for really obscure recordings in so many genres was a great way to spend your time back then. Checking out all the myiad images on countless album covers and 45/78's record sleeves was truly a self-educating experience. Too bad all those days ended when technology replaced vinyl!
Cream was in the top 10 on the charts (both stations). They played at the Swing Auditorium in February 1968. The Inland Empire was well served by the concert circuit in those days.
I'm curious, why did radui recird surveys frequently show the label the artist was on? I don't think record buyers ever cared. It always struck me that it was just to give some kind of credit or visibility to the record promotion people but that no one else cared. Or am I missing something?
Well, if we take your line of reasoning to its logical conclusion, WHY did "radui recird surveys" bother to even show the numbered positions for each song, huh? Surely "no one else cared" for all that crap, am I right? They should have just listed only the song titles because (according to your reasoning) everyone already knew the artist for any given record of interest. You must have been a slow learner for not wanting to be bothered with too much information on something as simple as the old Top 40 broadcasters music charts that were put out freely for the benefit of adept listeners -- which probably did not include you!

Best version of EVERLASTING LOVE debuts on KFXM The Love Affair.
This one rocks start to finish.
Play a fast jingle and kick it.
It blows anything!
Oh, yes, it's on DATE records.
Important to us and not the general
public.
