THE ARCHIVES CLUB!
The Archives Club contains hundreds of hours of countdowns, special themed shows, and annual retrospectives between 1955 and 1980. We're restoring and adding more every day.
For a one time price of just $50.00, you gain access to all of these programs for listening and
downloading. Play them at parties. Study the history of the era. Learn fascinating trivia. Or just remember a particular countdown for a week that is truly special to your memories.
The legendary weekly American Top 40 program did not come into being until July 4, 1970.
That means the first 15 years of the Top 40 era were never featured to that extent in a weekly countdown. Many of the songs from 1955-69 are very rarely heard any more, and unless you remember a specific record, you're sure to be surprised with the occasional 'oh wow' tune as it appeared when it was new when listening to these shows.
Even with our countdowns through the 70's, we approach them with a historical angle. News of the week, and events that shaped the times are interwoven throughout the music to provide a unique perspective for enjoying the oldies.
Your gift of $50.00 is channeled back into the cost of maintaining this site. Simply contribute by clicking above on the PayPal button. We'll send you the keys and the rest is up to you.
Thank you for reading, and we hope you will consider joining our club. For yourself. And maybe for a gift to a friend who you know loves the oldies.
Listed below are the shows available now for listening as an Archives Club member.
