From airings of The Jeffersons, the WCBS Expanded News, and some late-night coverage of the 1978 U.S. Open.
Recorded over NYC CBS affiliate: WCBS-TV.
What I am presenting to you now is a historical artifact from an era long gone by, on a format that was used for over 45 years. This tape is now the third oldest 1st-generation recording in my collection. Found within a lot of 23 tapes, this is the greatest lot of tapes I have ever come across, eBay or otherwise. This did come from eBay, so make of that what you will.
The craziest part about this is not only were the record tabs on all of these tapes still intact when they arrived, but the fact that they also originally came from an estate sale! Man, I should frequent estate sales more often if these kinds of tapes are being found, lol!
There is a lot more to come out of this lot, like my actual oldest 1st-generation recording, and some cartoons from 1980?! Yes indeed; stay tuned!
Enjoy, y'all!

...decided to use the tape 13 YEARS LATER to record the 1991 Miss Teen USA pageant! That really cracked me up for some reason. I was 4 in 1978, but we lived in central CT and this station was actually on quite a bit in our household growing up. We were a straight shot up from NYC, so most of the signals from there came in really well for us. Thank you for doing all you do. I find these recordings extremely comforting for some reason when insomnia strikes.

Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, a Cab Calloway-inspired take on the Big Mac's ingredients, Florence Henderson for Wesson ...

36:05 - IBM - I remember those early ATMs, with their square buttons, loud beeps, and wrapped bundles of cash.

24:40 - Shelley Bruce as Annie. She was the original Kate (an orphan) in the Broadway production, and replaced the original Annie (Andrea McArdle, who left to star in the original London production). In 1981, Shelley got Leukemia, and not only survived it, but returned to acting, within a year.

The burglar in "The Jeffersons" special was played by Philip Charles MacKenzie, who played Donald Maltby on the groundbreaking sitcom "Brothers", a few years later.

17:41 - "In the Beginning" was co-created by Norman Lear, and starred McLean Stevenson and Priscilla Lopez (the original Diana, in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway). It lasted only 5 weeks.

30:00 - "Grease" - The guy is Paul Regina (Cliff on the groundbreaking sitcom "Brothers", Felix on "L.A. Law", and Frank Nitti on "The Untouchables). This commercial is a bit meta, because Paul had played Kenickie in the touring company of "Grease", and then was in the Broadway production.

23:37 - Sugar Twin - Reva Rose (the original Lucy in the 1967 production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown", and the waitress in a steamy 1960s Camay commercial with Avery Schreiber, and Benjamin Franklin's wife in a 1980s Carefree Gum commercial) as Gladys.

10:53 (Rhinegold) & 25:04 (Snowy) - The same actress in both. In the Rhinegold spot, she's impersonating Judy Holiday (who got her big break in "Born Yesterday").
