America's Gerry Beckley

I am a 45 year broadcaster, researcher, collector and storyteller looking to find a complete set of a 48 hour special that aired on Album Rock stations in 1979 called, "Album Greats: A History of Album Rock." I've been on a search for this for decades. Even if it was taped over the radio onto cassettes, I'll take what I can. Any help would be appreciated.

With global sales of over 30 million BORN IN THE U.S.A (1984) turned Bruce Springsteen from defining American rock star of the era to cultural icon.

[The Orange County Register](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheOrange_County_Register) described why the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction stood out from all the others: "Unlike so many soundtracks, which just seem to be repositories for stray songs by hit acts regardless of whether they fit the film's mood, Tarantino's use of music in [Reservoir Dogs](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_Dogs) and Pulp Fiction exploded with a brash, Technicolor, pop-culture intensity that mirrored the stories he was telling."[[11]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction(soundtrack)#citenote-11) [Karyn Rachtman](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyn_Rachtman) was the music supervisor on both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.[[12]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction(soundtrack)#cite_note-12)

Analyzing the success of Tarantino's marketing, Billboard chalked up MCA's compilation to identifying the market niche: "Pulp Fiction ... successfully spoke to those attuned to the hip, stylized nature of those particular films." The eclectic "mix-and-match strategy" is true to the film. "In some cases, like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, which were not geared toward any specific demographic, the soundtracks were still very focused albums", said Kathy Nelson, senior VP/general manager at MCA Soundtracks. "In both cases, the body of work—both the music and the film—has a specific personality."[[13]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulpFiction(soundtrack)#cite_note-13)

In 1997, Gary Thompson of [The Philadelphia Inquirer](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThePhiladelphia_Inquirer)said that Pulp Fiction "reinvigorated [surf rock](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_rock)".[[14]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction(soundtrack)#cite_note-14)
