Bill McCullough Remembers: Track Recorders (pt. 1)

If Zero to 180 isn’t too careful, February might come and go without a new history piece. Unacceptable!

As it turns out, Zero to 180 has been working on a trio of Silver Spring music history pieces, with a two-part encore tribute to Track Recorders — that features reflections and anecdotes from chief engineer, Bill McCullough — before Track yields the stage to Gene Rosenthal and Adelphi Records.

At this very moment, Zero to 180 research staff are uploading images of ads, articles, and ephemera recently obtained from the Bill Hanke Music Research Archives that will be used to augment the nice assortment of vintage photos that Bill McCullough has generously shared.

Check out, for instance, this playful (and no doubt pricy) full-page advertisement that appeared in the middle fold of the April 1980 edition of DC’s Unicorn Times.
