BOB SHANNON
WCBS-FM New York
February 4/89 (Pt. 3 - UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Don Shuttleworth)

The Beatles are coming! The Beatles are coming! The Beatles are coming!.

Such was the cry 61 years ago as the Fab Four got ready to invade North America. It was February 1964, and 25 years after that legendary oldies station WCBS-FM celebrated with a weekend dedicated to the Beatles. WCBS-FM never sounded better!

Enjoy Bob Shannon on WCBS-FM from February 4, 1989 (Pt. 3 - UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.

NEXT UPDATE: February 9
