Promo Sheet Highlights

The original promotional sheet identifies this episode as The RCA Show, recorded during the CMA festivities in Nashville.

Jerry Reed is described as singer, songwriter, musician, movie star and television personality, with the program featuring a substantial selection of his well-known material including “Amos Moses,” “Sugarfoot Rag,” “The Bird,” “She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft,” and others.

The broadcast also introduces Marlow Tackett, performing his charted single “634-5789” and “Ever Lovin’ Woman.”

The program concludes with an unusually large RCA artist ensemble performing “I’ll Fly Away,” making this episode especially appealing to collectors of Jerry Reed, RCA country music, early-1980s Nashville radio and syndicated transcription recordings.

The Silver Eagle was an ABC Radio Networks syndicated country concert and performance series distributed on transcription LPs for radio-station broadcast rather than commercial sale.
