Yesterday's LTAR: all-Beatles; 1150 calls

[Bob Nelson <raccoonradio@yahoo.com>]

On yesterday's Let's Talk About Radio, it was
mentioned that a station was stunting with all Beatles
and it was said that you couldn't go too long with
such a format..."how many songs did they put out,
anyway, or how many albums?" 

Well, I think there were about 13 albums more or less
(though it was different in the US--since the US only
got about 11 songs per album while the Brits got 
14, they had to put out "make up" albums like "Hey
Jude" to get caught up). 
Take those albums; now add stuff like the "Anthology"
sets, "Live at the 
Hollywood Bowl", etc....AND add solo records ("George
Harrison Live in 
Japan"; John's "Walls and Bridges", etc.)...you
actually COULD have quite a bit of songs. You could
even throw in cover versions of Beatle tunes (think
how many versions of "Yesterday" there were!) But yes,
it would only take you so far. 

Also: Dan seemed to remember 1150 being WTTK, "Cat
Country", ...Dan, maybe you were thinking of WWKU 1510
which had country music for awhile plus Bruins 
games. Once in awhile you may spot an old bumper
sticker with the Bruins logo and "Bruins Country 1510"
on it.
