KUOI - Ralph Records Radio Special / Don't Make Me Ralph! (Jan 1981) [Lost Radio Special]

This is perhaps the rarest thing I've posted to my channel, an old lost radio special broadcast on January 24th 1981, which promotes the recent Ralph outputs, namely Greener Postures, Commercial Album, Solid Pleasure, Gravity, Half Mute and Out Of The Tunnel. It features interviews from Hardy Fox, Snakefinger, and Tom Timony (Then-Ralph Spokesman).

Original programme notes (not included with cassette)

"9:00 pm

Find out about the New Music Industry when KUOI’s Skip Lunch interviews the friendly folks of Ralph Records. This San Francisco-based company has been in business for 10 years, all the while breaking the rules of the “music industry” and still coming out ahead. So you’ve probably never heard The Residents sing “Constantinople” or Tuxedomoon do “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” - there’s still time to learn! Listen to “Don’t Make Me Ralph” featuring an exclusive interview with Phil “Snakefinger” Lithman and some very rare and unreleased material by The Residents. In conjunction with this show, special edition Ralph EPs will be given away free during the noon and dinner shows of January 19 through 23. Listen to KUOI-FM for more details, and remember, as they say at El Ralpho studios: “Ignorance of your culture is not considered cool.”"
