WREX Channel 13 - "The Circus" (Take 1, 1969)

Views: 3575

Here's a (evidently lipsynced) performance from a band called "The Circus" - recorded at WREX Channel 13 in Rockford, IL. (not sure if this ever ran on or was intended to run on WCIU Channel 26 or not)

This came from the other Quad tape that I found in Jack Mulqueen's basement recently. (recorded in low band, according to the slate at the opening of this clip - as accompanied by an 800 Hz tone).

- 3:30pm - Popeye on 44 with Steve Hart (a what-ful of surprises?) ;-)

- 4pm - Spider-Man (...

Views: 1555

Here's Part Four of the movie "Mad" on WCFC-TV Channel 38 - our religious station in Chicago - during the program "Liberty Temple Full Gospel News". This feels like something that should be part of the Found Footage Festival.

It ends with a "To Be Continued..." which alas was at the end of the recording, so we are left without a conclusion. :-(

Here's only the second commercial for Dispensa's Castle of Toys that we've ever found!

Same great session music (oh, to have the original tapes of this - maybe it was done by the same people who did the Super Cartoon Sunrise theme) - this one has less creepy Santa though.

Dispensa's Castle of Toys was located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Route 83 and Roosevelt Road.
