(Same on Both Sides) An image of the 45 RPM vinyl promo record of “Dear Me”, by Lorrie Morgan released from her “Leave the Light On” album on RCA Records. After ten+ years in the business, this was her very first Top 10 hit! I played this song a lot back then. It was in our highest rotation for several weeks at AM 650 KYAK, the station I worked for (1987-1991) and had listened to since childhood.

(Same on Both Sides) An image of the 45 RPM vinyl promo record of “Perfect”, by Baillie and the Boys released from their “The Lights of Home” album on RCA Records in 1990. This era of music brings back good memories of my early radio days (1987-1991). I thought this song was unique and stood out as something so different back then. I also thought it would make it into the Top 10 upon hearing it for the first time.

An image of the 45 RPM record front sleeve of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight", by The Nylons released on Open Air (Attic) Records from their “Seamless” album in 1986. It’s been a fun and exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles over the years. At the station I used to work at, so many records would get thrown away as they’d receive duplicates, and I’d go through and pick out ones I wanted to keep. This is from KGOT, our CHR sister station at that time.

I love collecting 45 RPMs! This is from 101.3 KGOT, our CHR sister station at that time.
