Charis Music Group is glad to help parties interested in having their Casey Kasem AT40 or Casey's Top 40 sets listed. The majority of our listings are for sellers who cannot do this on their own. Interested sellers may contact us for details. This set is from my personal collection.


You are bidding on the multi-LP American Top 40 set from the week of September 21, 1985.  The cover, as is typical for most from the flimsy sleelve period beginning in 1984, has bends and dings and wear.

The LPs look great and is identical to the one we sent to the archives for Premiere Radio for future airing. This is the first remastering of this date. These are the ORIGINAL, unedited shows with commercials as they originally aired.
