Description
Hello. I recently purchased many albums that were owned by a DJ named Deirdre O'Donoghue. Confirming that I had the correct DJ name, I was excited when I found a letter among the albums that I bought that she received while working at KMET in CA back in 1985! KMET was a very popular album-oriented rock station from 1968 through 1987 From LARadio. com "O'DONOGHUE, Deirdre: KPPC, 1970-71; KKGO, 1979; KCRW, 1980-86; KMET, 1983-87; KNX/fm, 1987-88; KLSX, 1988-99. Deirdre, longtime host of "Breakfast With The Beatles" on KLSX and "Snap" on KCRW, was found dead in her apartment on January 20, 2001. A friend claims that she died of Multiple Sclerosis. Born in 1948, Deirdre started her radio career in 1974 at WBCN-Boston, a station that she maintained was "the best radio station in the world." She worked at "underground KPPC" as part of the "community switchboard" in the early 1970s. Beginning in 1983, Deirdre was heard on two FM stations - non-commercial KCRW and KMET. She was with KMET until 1987 when the station changed format and call letters. Her show "Snap" (acronym of "Saturday Night Avant Pop") on KCRW aired three nights a week with anything considered on the cutting edge of contemporary Pop music. She started at KKGO in 1979 and went on to work for KCRW, KMET, KNX/fm and KLSX. Deirdre was 52." She kept her albums, many of them she signed; many of them DJ promotional copies, in EXCELLENT condition. You will see this note along with the letter I found addressed to her with each album from what I believe to be from her collection. Thank you.**The letter is not included in the auction. It is for show only as I only have the one.
Up for sale is the vinyl DJ owned EP copy from the band, James Dean Driving Experience. While NOT A PROMO, it does have Deirdre's signature on the sleeve and the date (Oct 1989). This EP came out in 1989 on Plastic Head Records, PLASS 013, UK.
The cover is in NM condition showing very minor wear. It has a few subtle marks on the top left front corner and some slight wear on the edges. The back shows some slight discoloration from again and very minor record ring.
The sleeve is generic and is signed by Deirdre and dated October 1989.
The LP is in NM condition. It looks to only have been played a few times. Label is in great shape! No audible noise that I can hear. As close to MINT but since it is not sealed, I'm giving it a NM grade.
The Band only had 4 records--two single 7" and two EP 12"!! These records are rare to come by and even rarer in this condition!
- World Weary & Wise (7" Single Sided), 1987
- Dean's Eleventh Dream (7" Single), 1988
- Clearlake Revisited (12" EP), 1989
