July 5, 1970-July 8, 1979. This was the "I Have Always Loved Romantic Music" broadcast that featured Israeli pianist Ilana Vered. A recurring summer series, "Evening at Pops" presents the Boston Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Arthur Fiedler (until his death in 1979).
NOTE: The master 1/4" original tape is not complete. At 39 minutes into the recording audio falters due to corruption of the mylar on the master tape. Fortunately, the entire 26-minute rendition by Ilana Vered of Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" is pristine sound except for some compromise during the final 30 seconds of the performance.

A recurring weekly 13 episode summer series, "Evening at Pops" presents the Boston Pops Orchestra, under the direction of Arthur Fiedler (until his death in 1979).
Announcer is William Pierce.
Pop and rock share the limelight as The New Seekers perform favorites such as "Day By Day" and "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."
The British-Australian group formed by former Seekers' member Keith Polger split after disbandment of The Seekers in 1969.
Members of The New Seekers consist of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Peter Doyle, Monty Kristian, and Paul Layton.
Highlights: The New Seekers introduce themselves in the group, and sing:
"What Have They Done to my Song," "Never Ending Love For You,"
"Blowing in the Wind," "Day By Day," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "When I Was Small," and a medley from the rock opera,
"Tommy."
Highlights: Arthur Fiedler and Boston Pops Orchestra:
"Overture to The Bartered Bride," "Consider Yourself," "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," "Polka from Schweder," "Saber Dance,"
"Semper Fidelis."
NOTE:
The beginning 19 minutes of this audio air check master 1/4" reel to reel tape had many opening issues and challenges. It had deteriorated with slight sections of oxide removed from the base.
Painstakingly, it was necessary to inch along during playback with manual pressured Q-Tips soaked in alcohol placed on the heads, after the tape was baked for 12 hours at 130 degrees to remove moisture.
Gratefully, most of the compromised audio tape's opening 19 minutes of the broadcast was saved by archivist Phil Gries.
There were a few aberrations during this opening segment of tape including occasional clicks, varied volume levels, and varied tone, which were greatly equalized, improved and rectified in the final mix.
The results are gratifying, having mostly saved this air check in its almost entirety. It represents a one-of-a-kind not accessible broadcast record anywhere else.
In the process of attempting to save as much of this tape as possible five minutes of audio, deteriorated beyond repair, had to be eliminated. Five of these six minutes, not salvageable, included The New Seekers singing "Fire & Rain," and "My Sweet Love."

Game 2 of the 1973 World Series between the New York Mets and Oakland A's. The Mets defeat the A's in 12 innings 10-7, to even the series at one game apiece.
This archived audio air check is joined in progress in the top of the 10th inning of this 70th World Series contest when the score is tied up at 6 to 6 and recorded to conclusion including the last out in the bottom of the 12th inning.
Notable for this game it tied a World Series record for most pitchers used in a single World Series game. Also, this game entered the record books for the longest World Series game at 253 minutes long, the Mets using five pitchers, 18 players overall and the Athletics using six pitchers, 21 players overall.
NOTE:
Archived and available on You Tube is a video of this game that runs 2 hours and 27 minutes of the 4 hours and 13 minutes which was the longest World Series game time at that time.
Is not complete, and the air check is missing most of the (non-scoring) action from the top of the fifth to the bottom of the eighth.
More importantly there is no broadcast coverage of the live play by play action covering the entire bottom of the 11th and top of the 12th inning when Willie Mays gets his final major league hit as a player capping off his long esteemed career.
NOTE: Two treasured air checks in the archive of Archival Television Audio, that is not extant anywhere else in the country's vast bastions of museums, or private collections are Willie Mays last at bat as a New York Giant and his last hit as a New York Met and as a major leaguer.
There also does not exist live play by play coverage of the Oakland Athletics batting in the bottom of the 12th inning. Game ending with the Mets 10 and the Athletics 7.
This marathon contest went into extra innings tied at 6, and in the top of the 10th the A's caught a break when left fielder Joe Rudi threw out Bud Harrelson at the plate - except that catcher Ray Fosse never tagged him. So it stayed deadlocked until the top of the 12th. A Mays RBI single gave the Mets a 7–6 lead, then a ball went between A's second baseman Mike Andrews' legs to score two and make it 9-6. The next batter grounded to Andrews, but the umpire (incorrectly) ruled his throw to first pulled Gene Tenace off the bag and a run scored to make it 10–6.
