Hi, I already have this collection.  Not sure where I got it from, I've had it a long time.  The audio seems to be decent, there are 52 MP3 tracks encoded at 160k, along with a couple text files explaining the origin.

Here are some notes that I downloaded when I got the files.

******************************************

This is the classic 52 hour long "History of Rock and Roll", broadcast on KHJ radio, Los Angeles, in 1978.  There are 52 "episodes" here, each one approximately 53 minutes in length and in stereo.   

I've had this collection for some time, but didn't really know what it was (title doesn't tell you much).  When I played one track I was pleasantly surprised and decided to offer it here.  I've done no editing, EXCEPT to remove the "dead air" that occurred at about 15 minute intervals (time for ads?), and normalizing the volume levels.  The audio quality is for the most part excellent, crisp and clear.

NOTES:  Be sure to listen to the introduction before listening to the rest.  While each "episode" builds on the previous ones, you DON'T have to listen to them in numerical order to enjoy the programs!

Hello all,

 

Ted and I are reaching out to you to see if there is any interest in a high quality 24 bit/192k copy of the Drake-Chenault Mega special ‘The History Of Rock ‘N’ Roll’. This special is 52 hours in length and is seen as the holy grail of syndicated radio offerings. We have an opportunity to purchase a mint set to transfer, but the price of the aforementioned set has us asking for your help. If you are interested, please send any donations via PayPal to: corey_harker@.... If successful in this purchase, we will also send the original 1969 KHJ and WOR versions to those who donate. This will be a separate distro than the monthly offering we normally send out.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

Best,

 

Corey Harker
