Description

Near mint copy of the Rock Scope episode featuring Michael Been of The Call. Includes rundown sheet. Album sleeve is in average condition, but record is really nice, played maybe once. About Rock Scope: Rock Scope, aka Rock and Religion, was a syndicated radio program based in Sacramento, California, airing from 1977-1981. Carried by 200 of the top rock stations in the United States, including Voice of America, the show explored rock and roll's spiritual themes, and featured in-depth interviews with top musical artists about their spirituality as expressed in their work. The show concept was created by writer/interviewer-Mary Neely, founder of Azure Arts. The show provided religious public service programming for radio stations to meet their FCC requirements. These shows are rare, relaxed conversations, aired but once, with artists such as Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, Pete Townshend of The Who, T-Bone Burnett, and Steve Soles of The Alpha Band, Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire and more. Some are documentaries, a weave of commentary and music. Steve Turner, a London based rock journalist and book author, wrote the series, “Stairway to Heaven”. Tom Biggs, a popular Sacramento DJ championed the show in the local launch. The production staff included Tom, and later the 77’s rock band frontman, Mike Roe, as writer/producer, and Daryl Zachman, producer, engineer. PLEASE NOTE: As these were made to air only once, many copies were tossed away after airing, limiting the number of existing copies today, 40+ years later.
