In 1981, Super Groups came back with a new look for their syndicated radio shows. Gone were the premium "boxed set" packages, audiophile sleeves, and premium paper inserts. The new look was like the King Biscuit product: a monochrome disc label, photocopied cue sheets, and cheap paper sleeves...and the similar look wasn't coincidental: the shows were produced by D.I.R. Broadcasting Corp., also the producers of the King Biscuit shows.It looks like they were etching a show number into the run-out groove that numbers the shows in a simple ascending numbering scheme. If that's right, this is the second show in the new series (SG-002)
For this one, broadcast on a Saturday at the start of the Labor Day weekend, Super Groups adopted a "Southern Rock" theme for a "compilation show" with live spots from the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Molly Hatchet, Outlaws/Henry Paul Band, Rossinton Collins, .38 Special, and the Johnny Van Zant Band. Each group gets one to three songs per LP side, so this doesn't play like a real concert, but it's a good overview of the genre.
...and they wrap the whole thing up with a long version of "Freebird" (or "Free Bird"). If you were ending a Southern Rock smorgasbord, is their any other choice?
It's hosted by Pat St. John, a Yankee D.J. who shows up hosting a lot of these syndicated shows..
Unfortunately, there were no cue sheets with this one. I've included a scan of a disc label. The vinyl on Side A presented some challenges, but I put in a week of work and made it listenable. Flac files of wavs!
