The Good Guy DJs album from 1970, consisting primarily of recurrents from the previous 12 months.

The concept for the WPGC Together Gold album was born in an elevator in NYC at the Billboard Convention in 1969. I was heading to one of the suites for a bit of “partying” There was a guy on the elevator, his name was Walt Davison, he was a small time promoter with a record label out of Philly. The label was DAVCO. At the time I was Music Director of WPGC. We got to the party, started talking, drinking, drinking, talking..I mentioned we (WPGC) needed a promotion and maybe, just maybe a collection of “hits” would do the trick.

Once back in DC, Walt came to town, we sold Bob Howard on the idea and we started putting together a list of potential songs. Once we decided on the titles, Walt started contacting the labels. That collection is what we scored on at almost no cost to WPGC. One sidelight to this, I was pretty good friends with Tommy James, so I called and asked for “Crystal Blue Persuasion” or “Crimson and Clover”. Tommy said “sure” take your pick. We did. Once the album came out Walt got a call from NYC, Red Schwartz, the Promo guy for Roulette wanted to see him. Walt went to New York…Schwartz had two goons waiting for Walt, they beat the shit out of him. He told me, I called a guy I knew from Philly and told him. He visited Red, and kicked the shit out of him (paybacks are hell.) Walt remained a good friend of mine up until his untimely death due to a heart attack in the mid 90’s!

The album was not available in stores, we sold it on the air. We gave away very few of them and it was a real MONEY MAKER. There was a jock contest to see who could sell the most albums during their shift. I THINK Jim Madison (Joel Denver) won it. As for the logo, Davco owned it, soooo, WPGC’s was not used. The photos used at the time were probably 2 or three years old; mine was fairly recent. One other thing, Bob Howard did not want to pay a graphic artist to design the cover, so I did the art-work. There was not a Volume 2.
