Here are some of the key features of SuperOldies.com:
* Constantly growing database of tracks.
With the help of our listeners who have been kind enough to share part of their collections,
the current library boasts 13,000+ songs from over 4000 artists
and adding to that number weekly.
* User Friendly 32 kbps
Since many of our listeners are still using dial-up (phone line),
our stream is in 32 kbps, mono.
* Best sources used for airplay.
We prefer CD sources off master tapes. We are constantly upgrading
songs if they become available on a commercial CD.
Since much of our playlist is not available on CD, we have
meticulously restored many of the tracks you hear off of vinyl.
No clicks, pops, hiss or crackle.
We've helped keep eBay in business!
* No repeats in over a 3 week period.
You could listen for 24 hours straight, 7 days a week, and not
hear the same song again. Oldies radio can't touch us!!
* Artist endorsed.
You'll hear the actual hitmakers make our unique Station IDs,
do song introductions, and participate with our specialty shows.
No other station offers so much artist involvement.
* No babbling DJs or ads. Less talk - more rock!
What a relief...non-stop music with vintage commercials mixed in.
Memories, music & more memories
* Overplayed oldies are OUT
That's right. The 200-300 songs you hear your local radio
station play over & over are just that...overplayed.
You're sick of them - we're sick of them,
and they're not in our rotation!
There were 90 more chart positions each month besides the Top #10...HELLO!?
* WIDE variety.
We cater to ALL '50s & '60s music lovers, not just one or two genres.
We'd like to think our listeners are more open-minded than that!
You'll hear all styles of songs within an hour time frame...and lots of them.
Approx. 27 songs per hour, double the amount that typical radio stations peak at.
* TRUE oldies
We consider '70s music the beginning of "classic rock".
We firmly stick to our time frame of January 1, 1955 to December 31, 1969.
NO "Old Time Rock & Roll", "American Pie" or "Crocodile Rock" here!
We're sure you've noticed that oldies radio has pretty much dropped their '50s content.
* 24/7 - LIVE
We don't need no stinkin' break!
Of the oldies internet shows that are left, many are
once a week, or once a month, downloadable shows.
Every hour, every day...we're live and ON THE AIR.
* Interactive interviews & chat sessions
Coming soon, your chance to say hello to the stars,
and ask your favorite performers questions
via live interviews and online chat sessions.
* Hits from around the globe.
Our listeners are from all over the world,
so why not feature favorites from their area too?
Besides the USA Cashbox Top #100, we also play regional
hits, and chart toppers from Canada and the UK.
* You'll hear the whole song
Many oldies radio stations chop off the songs alarmingly early,
as soon as the tag lines start. Like 2:30 isn't short enough!?
Maybe it gives them more time to talk, or for advertisements...who knows!?
On our station, you will hear the FULL song from start to a reasonable fade out time.
* Song enhancements
Not just the fact that each song has undergone meticulous equalization
and vinyl restoration, but some of those songs with low vocals, or loud leads
have been evened out. Best example is the Lovin' Spoonfuls' "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice".
On most CDs & on radio stations, the vocals are horribly buried. No more!
Some new CD releases have drastically remixed & changed the feel of the songs.
In some cases, we have taken the original vinyl option over a new remixed version.
For example, in Canada & the USA, The Beatles "I Feel Fine"
and "She's A Woman" were drenched with reverb. The UK version is not.
We play the hits - the way you remember them.
If the song has a little something "extra" to offer in the fade-out,
we'll offer our alternate Super Oldies version too.
Example: Ritchie Valens - "Donna",
New Colony Six - "I Will Always Think About You",
and The Beach Boys - "Barbara Ann"
now have their complete endings that were once faded out.
All of the songs are crossfaded too, there is no dead air between tracks.
