Issue #5 - Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield looking sharp on the cover of the Boss 30. The KHJ “Free Beatle Tickets” promotion continued this week. The Beatles concerts at the Hollywood Bowl were presented by Bob Eubanks and rival station KRLA. KHJ employees sent in order forms from the Los Angeles Times to KRLA under assumed names in order to secure tickets to give away on Boss Radio.

Terrific Blog Ray! Found it through a link from pals in the reelradio.com community.
Looking at the survey, all the memories of a carefree high school summer at Santa Monica beach come rolling back in. All the beach radios seemed to be tuned to 93/KHJ.
Love that Bobby Fuller Four hit at 25 on the chart - a west coast turntable hit for sure, but every bit as good or better than "I Fought the Law". Just picked up a stereo copy of "Let Her Dance" this month and it ROCKS!
Love the Bob Dylan single at #1. This single was, if I remember correctly, almost 6 minutes long. It must have taken some real courage for KHJ management to allow so MUCH time to one song. But, what a great record it was.
