Ep. 316 Today's Peep Features Rare DJ Promos- Vinyl Gold and Sonic Garbage: The Paradox of Rare Records and Unbearable Hits and the Worst Pop Songs Ever Made

We explore the fascinating world of DJ promo records, discussing their collectibility, rarity, and historical significance to music and radio culture.• DJ promo 45s were produced in limited quantities and sent to radio stations to promote potential hit songs• These records often featured the same song on both sides so DJs could flip them when one side wore out• Promos are valuable because they're rare, sometimes contain alternate versions or mixes, and offer superior sound quality• Some of my collection includes extremely rare items like early Beatles and Rolling Stones promotional pressings• The conversation shifts to exploring "the worst songs of all time" according to various lists• My personal pick for worst song ever is Clint Holmes' "Playground in My Mind"• Other notable entries include songs by Bonnie Tyler, Dan Hill, and Billy Ocean• I share a story about refusing to play Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" while working at Light 95 FMThanks for listening to another episode of Pat's Peeps Podcast!
