Welcome to Charis Music Group!
Charis Music Group welcomes you! First and foremost, we
are syndicated radio program junkies. We love everything
Watermark ever put out. Casey Kasem and Shadoe Stevens with
American Top 40, Don Bowman and Bob Kingsley with American
Country Countdown, Murray the K and Gary Owens with Soundtrack
of the 60's, Wink Martindale with the Elvis Presley Story
and specials such as Ringo Starr's Yellow Submarine, Mick
Fleetwood's Fab Fourth and the Robert W. Morgan specials.
Not to be outdone, Drake-Chenault was also a quality producer.
They produced Mark Elliott with the Weekly Top 30, Charlie
Van Dyke with the Weekly Music Magazine, the Elvis special
and of course Bill Drake with the History of Rock and Roll.
Unfortunately, many of these programs have never been heard
from again. The master tapes have been destroyed, forgotten
and simply lost. On the other hand, vinyl or reel to reel
copies do surface and when they do, they are treasured which
brings us to what we do.
What We Do
We strive to preserve and restore audio such as the programs
listed above. If you read the about
us page you will discover how our services are being
put to use. We have an extensive library and hope to assist
both radio and collectors. We use a very meticulous process
for restoring audio and hope to have some before and after
samples posted SOON.
How You Can Help!
We are always looking to add to our collection and will
gladly buy or help you sell your American Top 40, Casey's
Top 40 or other radio collections. Just use the contact
links to let us know what you have! We are ESPECIALLY looking
for Casey's Top 40, Weekly Music Magazine and Weekly Top
30 broadcasts!!!

MISSING CASEY'S TOP 40 DATES
For those of you who have asked, I finally went through
my original vinyl and CD sets to inventory what was present
and find where the holes are. According to Westwood One
personnel, all tapes for CT40 no longer exist. Thus, the
only way to create a tangible record (no pun intended) and
history of the show will be through what survived in circulation.
That being said, here is what I know to be missing.
I am looking for vinyl copies or CDs of these dates:
