Thursday, December 8, 2005 at 11:28 PM If Westwood 1 (hint hint) were to release a boxed set of the adam years 97-05 or to put on itunes with DRM...what price would people be willing to pay? a starting number for me would be 50 bones per year.
i figure that would be about 150-200 shows.
quarter per episode? if we can't persuade westwood i'm going to need some volunteer gangstas to do a nic cage National Treasure type heist of those early year tapes. i got some m80s lying around and uncle bertram says we can use his ford 150 for the getaway. —WeepWeep |

Edited Friday, December 9, 2005 at 7:33 AM Here's the problem though: the feckers threw away the tapes!!!Sounds idiotic, I know... but they couldn't put out such a collection even if they wanted to, because their policy is to erase all Loveline tapes after one year. Adam mentioned that policy a few times, and Anderson confirmed it on this board too. I think they said the reason, but I forgot why. It's kind of daunting to realize that the only archive of Loveline shows, the sole repository of the recordings, is... ...Us. [spooky]

Friday, December 9, 2005 at 11:36 AM According to Anderson on the last Adam show the tapes are in a warehouse. The problem would be getting the rights to sell a product with the guests on there. If you check out other radio shows' best of's over the years, they tend to not have guests in the clips becaue they would have to pay these guests for their work. The ones that do have guests turn it into a charity CD. —bguirk |

Saturday, December 10, 2005 at 6:27 AM I THINK that the notion that they are all thrown away is incorrect. It's policy of nearly all radio programs to keep a collection of their shows in a warehouse, which has been referred to a few times by Anderson (I.E. Adam's Last show). With a show this popular, there's zero chance that all of his tapes a year or older would be erased. Otherwise Anderson wouldnt've gotten the 13 year old masturbation question for Adam's last show. Whether Westwood 1 (or another company who is willing to put this out) has the time, money, or effort to go into the Warehouses, put all of the shows onto hundreds of CD's or pack it into computer files is another thing. Another main point is that these tapes quality would be horrendous. Reference the call Anderson pulled up for Adam's Last show...It skips, jumps, and hops every 5 seconds, and you want to kill yourself halfway through, because of all the horrible quality. Westwood 1 (or whoever) would be forced to digitally remaster/enhance these tapes to make them I-Tunes/CD Box set worth. I love the idea, but I don't think it'll happen :( —andrewwagner777 |
