Two original Scotch 10.5˝ reel-to-reel tapes containing a recording of the Frank Zappa Radio Show, recorded for the Los Angeles rock radio station KMET 94.7 FM as a fill-in program for host B. Mitchel Reed. The broadcasts are consistent with Zappa’s documented 1974 KMET guest DJ appearances, during which he curated eclectic playlists including artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Both tapes are housed in their original 3M storage boxes with affixed Warner Bros. Recording Studios log sheets, each dated November 4, 1974, and listing the client as “DiscReet Records,” the label founded by Zappa and his then-manager Herb Cohen. The sheets identify the program as “Frank Zappa Radio Show (Inc. Hendrix/Zeppelin)” and “Zappa Radio Show (Inc. Hendrix and Zeppelin),” with one designated “Sides One, Two, and Three,” and the other “Side Four and Five.” The first is annotated: “Frank taped this as a fill-in show for B. Mitchell Reed on KMET.” In overall fine condition, with wear and stains to the boxes.
From the archives of Norman Davis, the co-host of the pioneering punk radio show The Outcastes on KSAN-FM in San Francisco, America's first regularly scheduled punk rock radio show. For nearly two years, The Outcastes went live every Friday night from 2 to 4 a.m. (Saturday morning) and featured some of punk’s biggest early stars, including Devo, The Cramps, Roky Erickson, The Nuns, The Dead Boys, Iggy Pop, and the Sex Pistols. He interviewed Paul Cook and Steve Jones on January 13, 1978, a day before the band’s final concert at the Winterland. The interview was notorious for its airing of unedited expletives used by Cook and Jones, profanity that could have potentially cost the radio station its license.
