Description: 

Very recently here at the Pacifica Radio Archives, we happened across an amazing re-discovery of a truly special program that was previously unknown to any catalog, database, or staffer.

The story goes like this. A longtime KPKF programmer, Henry Slucki of Access Unlimited, the Los Angeles radio series concerning the disabled community, came to visit the Archives and brought with him a vinyl record. (Remember vinyl?!) This album he presented is entitled The Lively Air, with highlights from three Pacifica stations. This album of recordings was offered for the first time In November/December 1961 according to our Pacifica Folio collection. We were unable to find any corresponding master recordings in our archives of the various sound elements that appear on the album, even though they are all clearly Pacifica fodder. The album was created as a premium gift for the Pacifica fund drives happening in the early Sixties, but it's he content that really got us excited.

What you are about to hear has not been broadcast or heard in any form for at least 40 years. Get ready for an amazing sampling of Genuine Pacifica Sound, so rare, so special, that its only known copy is a brittle vinyl disc now housed deep within the safety of our refrigerated vault. You'll be the first in an entire generation to hear this unique historic audio of Carl Sandburg, The Reverend Abernathy, Herschel Bernardi, Bruno Walter, Buddy Collette, Celeste Holm, Peter Ustinov and Hermoine Gingold, among others. It really is SO exquisitely rare.
