Our pal XRay posted the Flashback Records silver bootleg of this back in July.
This version is digitized from the Album Network cassette of the show. It's pre-FM, with the commercials and the ubiquitous Pat St. John hosting the broadcast. I've included scans of the j-card and both sides of the cassette. I've also seen a reel to reel of this on Ebay.
If you just want the music, you don't need this if you've downloaded XRay's version. This is for the completists out there in Our Beloved Audience who want the full 1990 experience. Hey, you can eat Doritos with Jay Leno, wash your mouth out with Listermint, and join the Air Force.
I edited the show a bit, as there were long gaps where local spots were to be inserted.
The Jeff Healey website says the date of the recording was July 27, 1990. The concert also circulates online with that date on websites like Guitars101. However, there is a newspaper listing in the Thursday July 26, 1990 Daily News with the broadcast at 10:00 PM that night on WNEW-FM. I've included a clipping of the listing. I don't know which date is correct, but if they were broadcasting on July 26 it's not likely it was recorded on the 27th. :)
The promotion posters say the syndicated show was supposed to be on August 17. I've included a clipping from the August 20, 1990 Reno Gazette that has it broadcast that night on KOZZ-FM
One of our readers emailed me some observations about the Album Network distribution:
"...Album Network was such a small syndicator compared to Westwood One, etc. (despite being a major music industry trade publication with their print magazine) that I don't think their shows were produced in very high numbers. The time period as well, since it was the '90s, as we know, syndicated broadcasts were sadly starting to kind of die out, so the numbers just weren't as high as they would have been had they been pumping this stuff out through the '80s.
They serviced the shows on multiple formats, to be able to take care of the guys in the major markets, but also, whatever equipment stations in the podunk markets had or didn't have.
If they didn't have satellite in those smaller markets, they'd send out DATs or cassette tapes of live broadcasts that had been done via satellite originally.
Same thing, for stations that weren't using CDs....cassettes and/or reel to reel tapes."
