Today’s radio show is all about original soundtrack albums. The wide ranging musical choices includes westerns, science fiction, Blaxploitation and film classics beginning with Max Steiner’s “Gone With the Wind” produced as a suite by George Korngold, son of composer Eric Wolfgang Korngold.
Today is both “leap day” and the final Analogplanet Radio fundraising show of 2016. No “leap” songs today, but many about helping out others. “Others” in this case being WFDU, which derives 100% of its income from listeners, and none from advertising.
Analogplanet Radio's second pledge week WFDU radio show is now available for streaming. Most of the songs are money and giving-related and of course all were vinyl-sourced..
February is WDFU's annual pledge month. The station depends solely on listener pledge donations. So I have been asked to do the "pledge drive" show today and throughout February.
Spend a few hours with Analogplanet.com editor Michael Fremer as he spins David Bowie vinyl from original American, UK, German and Japanese pressings along with a few reissues.

Today’s show was all Beatles from vinyl but with a “nerdy” twist (I guess we’re all nerds). For some tunes you get multiple versions to compare. For instance there are four versions of “I’ll Cry Instead”.
Here are two hours of vinyl-created Christmas music for you to play and share with your loved ones, curated and hosted by Analogplanet editor Michael Fremer.
Charles Mingus had a habit of declaring every release, "the best record I've ever made". Today's Analog Planet Radio Show, "New Stuff" is easily the best one yet—and unlike Mingus, that's not something I say about every show!
Today’s Analogplanet.com radio show consists entirely of 12” singles and E.P.'s, mostly at 45rpm. These were popular throughout the 1980s and often featured unique remixes, extended versions and unreleased tracks.
