Originally a snoop tape, the songs have been inserted and in some cases some news broadcasts and commercials have been augmented with non 604 news broadcasts and commercials from the same month and year or news commercials from other 604 shows.

From Craig: I don't remember who is conducting the interview but I know that I was there. Memory is failing me :-)

The Capital Countdown with Tony Newman. No date can be found but judging from the song at number 1 it is most likely January 1980.
