S7+ signal coming into the Elizabeth City, North Carolina, SDR with good audio and moderate noise levels ...

2325 UTC: "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" by The Beatles.
2327 UTC: DJ Jackson Armstrong mentioned the "Jackson Armstrong Show," then there was a 1520 WKBW jingle into "Got to Be There" by Michael Jackson.
2330 UTC: DJ back on the mic, giving weather forecast, then doing a bit, then ID into "Life is a Carnival" by The Band. How much caffeine (or something else) did these DJs ingest to talk that fast?
2335 UTC: DJ back on the mic, mentions the Buffalo, New York, area, another quick bit, then back to the music with "I Am the Walrus" by The Beatles.
2340 UTC: DJ back on the mic, then WKBW jingle, Dr. Pepper promo, then more chatter into "Hallelujah" by SWEATHOG.
2344 UTC: More fast DJ patter into "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" by Cher.
2348 UTC: WKBW ID into "I've Seen All Good People: A. Your Move, B. All Good People" by Yes.
2355 UTC: DJ talking a bit about Yes, giving the weather again, then talking into "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" by Redbone.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out this DJ once held the Guinness record for "fastest-talking human": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Jack_Armstrong. It also turns out he was a DJ at KTNQ 1020 in Los Angeles just as I started listening to that and other AM radio stations around age 7 or 8.

Thanks for this slice of vintage AM radio audio!
