This is an extremely rare, original radio transcription box set produced by Denny Somach Productions for NBC Radio's "The Source." Titled "Jump On It," this 4-hour holiday spectacular was distributed exclusively to radio stations for broadcast during the Memorial Day Weekend of 1984.
The program captures Van Halen at the absolute peak of their commercial success during the 1984 album era. The show features a mix of the band's high-energy hits ("Jump," "Panama," etc.) interspersed with "outspoken interviews" featuring all band members: David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, and Michael Anthony. It also includes segments where the band members act as guest DJs, spinning songs by their favorite artists.
The set is housed in its original plain brown cardboard mailer box, stamped with the show's catalog details. It includes the original cue sheet/flyer ("The Source" logo with band photo and broadcast details), which is often missing from these sets.
Broadcast Only: These records were never commercially available to the public. They were pressed in limited quantities solely for radio syndication and were usually supposed to be returned or destroyed after broadcast.
1984 Peak Era: This is a prime collectible from the David Lee Roth era, documenting the band's massive popularity following the release of their seminal album 1984.
Completeness: Finding these sets with the original box and the accompanying paperwork (cue sheet) is difficult, as many were discarded or separated over the years. This is a true piece of radio and rock history.
