A rare (probably unique) recording of the AAA Time radio program from Radio Saipan from August of 1944.
The featured groups are the AAA Downbeats and the Grenadiers. Both groups presumably assembled from Military personnel.
This 16" instantaneous transcription disc contains the only known recording from the AAA Time program, as well as the only recordings of these two groups, which contained unknown personnel.
If anyone has information regarding the artists involved, please contact me. Clearly these musicians were talented enough to have pursued music following the conclusion of the War.
My (large) assumption is that this program aired on Wed, Aug 16th 1944. This is based on Reimer's reference to rain, and the fact that weather observations on Saipan reported significant rain every day from Sun the 13th through Wed the 16th.
