Andy, I have the 45 (of the "generic" version).

Does anyone have a dub (of any version) for me to hear of "Turn On The Radio" by Glory?

It seemed to peak out at #110 in Record World only.

Thanks!

In the DC area, I never heard the no-DJ rap version and don't recall hearing a version with local letters.

What's interesting though is that in 1977 when I lived outside Boston, there was a top 100 hit called "Turn on the Radio" by Glory, which had SUNG vocals for at least 3 different radio stations' call letters (at least one of which I have on cassette somewhere). I bought the 45 in the 1990s and it just had general lyrics in that line. As a kid I was fascinated by this record. I should add that the lines that had the call letters (like WVBF, etc.) had the same lead vocalist as the rest of the song - which means the label had the singer sing the call letters for (presumably) any radio station that requested it. A very smart thing to do promotion-wise - should have made it a hit. And it was a catchy pop song.

So this is a bit like the Starship situation - except the lead singer of the group re-sung the non-generic version of the lyrics for many stations. I wonder what stations, not in Boston or Providence, RI, played this song - either a personalized version or the generic version like what I found on 45.]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 20:18:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1486&PID=67096&title=starship-we-built-this-city#67096 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1486&PID=67088&title=starship-we-built-this-city#67088 Author: aaronk

I don't ever trust Discogs when it comes to that type of info. The database says:

Thanks, Aaron!

What threw me off was the error in the Discogs listing of the Roller Hockey CD - it (erroneously) mentioned that it *excludes* the acapella intro.

What I'd like to find is the No Les Garland version with full acapella intro and full fade.

The version on Greatest Hits sounds like a better and lower generation tape than what appears on the RCA Roller Hockey compilation. When I have some time, I'll create a new file that matches the promo 45 using this source but adding the intro. Years ago, I faded the copy from Roller Hockey to match the length of the promo 45.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2025 11:06:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1486&PID=67080&title=starship-we-built-this-city#67080
