The Drive's Labor Day Album Sides

This is always a favorite show for me when WDRV, 97.1 FM in Chicago pulls out the old vinyl 33 and a thirds and play a whole side straight through like we used to do in those days of turntables and cartridges.  And, you get the hiss and pps in places, but their albums are evidently in real good shape.  (Probably no brothers to raid and scratch up a collection while someone is at college, right, Bob?  Hold the albums by the edges, don't slide them across each other and carefully put them back in the sleeve when done.)

All the regular deejays have the day off, and the one taking the morning slot has been enjoying the album covers and says this new digital age has brought about "The lost art of cover art."

They play the album straight through, even the dead space between the cuts   Right now they're finishing up side 1 of WHO'S Next by the Who.
