I would mail over 165 [eventually] advance playsts to record companies, promotion men, and a about a half-dozne state wide radio stations.  This was because the change to Go Mag made it virtually impossilbe to mail copies of Go to them becauuse of cost and size - since GO was a tabloid sized paper and about 16 pages long.

By the time the last of this series is posted - you will be able to see EVERY record ever played regularly on WLOF with less that 2 dozen, and morst probably less than a dozen reecords that may have been accidentally left off.  There is no way to check on this, but even a dozen may be too large of a number.
