I won this Boston LP on the Seaside Heights boardwalk in 1978.
Good for you....sadly I never won an LP on the boardwalk... my dad got a transistor radio out of one of those machines that pushed prizes up the ramp & dropped into the hole...

Hi capO and all... this show has reminded me of how many trending styles were in play in 1976... it's kind of a drag how much of it would soon be overshadowed by disco as far as radio play goes???...:)
