Back in 1970, I was solidly into 1050, 1150 and 1430.

@18:19 The what??? I've always known it to be the "True Love Cafe" owned and operated by Ben & ILene Dover. Never knew it was once known as the Castle George. WOW! Things change, times change!!

Great aircheck, from the Golden Age of CHUM-FM. Spent a lot of time listening to it in the late '60s and early '70s. Then the suits took over and took the joy out of it.

Early 70's CHUM FM was probably the best radio station Toronto has ever had and early CFNY number two.

This particular air check is such great quality probably because of the TEAC tape machine used for the recording as well as the tuner. My own CHUM FM tapes were recorded on a lesser machine and I often recorded in slow speed and in mono ( single track) in order to save tape. The advantage of that method was that I was able to preserve a lot of radio.

Last year I uploaded from a reel to reel that I found in the wild of CHUM FM from 1986. The quality was not as good because  it was recorded at slow speed though stereo. I still have a portion of about 30 minutes from that same tape to upload. Includes Ingrid S. plus I think another 30 mins of her from around 1992 recorded on cassette. Will upload those at some point and I can't remember the quality of the cassette but it's probably better than slow speed reel to reel.  I just wanted to point out that in terms of quality there are a number of variables involved in old analog recordings. This one was made by a pro and everything was just about right including the recording volume.
