Cutting Room Floor: Another Classic Landecker Moment

In the book "Records Truly Is My Middle Name", John writes about his experiences at the Loop, FM 97.9. He was only there briefly, and it wasn't a good mix for him. It did however yield one of the tracks that made the final cut of the CD, an interview with Tina Turner.

John left the Loop to join a brand new station called G-106 to host his first morning show in Chicago. That debut was teased with a television campaign promoting John. The station is gone now (it's actually the FM simulcast of WBBM-AM), but the television ad lives on forever on YouTube



None of the bits from his days at G-106 made it on the CD, but lots of memorable interviews, bits, and songs of Landecker's career did. You can see the track list below...



"Records Truly Is My Middle Name (The Soundtrack)" is available right here at Eckhartz Press. It's being sold as a fundraiser for The Chicago Lighthouse, which does great work for visually impaired and blind people. John's father was blind, so it's a charity he deeply believes in and supports.

And by the way, the CD is a perfect stocking stuffer for the Landecker fan in your family, and it's only $11.99.
