Timeless Melodies! Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 25/20

Our first full year on the CJAM radio waves was 1990! We featured tracks from the latest in the Cherry Red Records 'C' series, C90 and others from the year not featured on the compilation. This tracklist sounds like it could have been from any show of ours in the first couple years on the air. Hope you enjoyed the look back at our first year. If you did, wait for our anniversary in August for another similar show.
