"Rock N' Roll: The New Loud Sound From Tin Pan Alley," is the topic with guests William B. Williams, Murray "The K" Kaufman, 17 year old Lesley Gore, Bobby Vinton, Goldie Goldmark, Jack Keller and 24 year old Phil Spector, who eventually dominates the conversation with many personal points of view, comments, and disagreements in particular with William B. Williams and moderator, David Susskind.

NOTE: This peerless TV Audio Air Check represents the first time that Phil Spector voiced subjective and personal anecdotal feelings on a TV talk show, revelatory  to his revolutionary work he was doing and portending to do in the future. Of the over 20,000 titles in the collection of ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO this television audio air check is considered one of the extant audio gems  representing this "lost" television broadcast which was erased soon after it was broadcast August 23, 1964.      

This recording was personally Audio recorded off the air, 1/4" reel to reel tape, direct line, obtaining excellent sound quality at the time of this one time only broadcast, by Phil Gries, founder and owner of ATA.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
