http://rapidshare.de/files/9614926/01_Original_1969_Philadelphia_AM_Radio_Broadcast.mp3.htmlHOHOHO!"Sonny Hopson, aka the Mighty Burner, was a finger-poppin' DJ on WHAT-AM with a distinctive sound and personality. He delightfully violated all the standard disc jockey rules. He talked through and over records, sang along with every song (often louder than the artist) and commented on news and social issues whenever the spirit moved him. This CD of a 1969 Sonny Hopson show captures Philadelphia black radio in the raw. It's all included--the commercials, the news reports, and of course lots and lots of the Mighty Burner doing his thing. There was a time when Philadelphia radio employed on-air artists as gifted as the people they promoted, and the proof is on this CD."

    Everyone should buy this cd, a real time capsule kinda thing. I think I heard a few years back they did a remastered version of this, if thats true how can you tell if you have the old or new one? Mine is a bit distorted throughout
