AT40 the 80s December 22nd 1984

From December 22nd 1984, American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.  This all of Casey's intros and commercials intact but the songs have been clipped with only the intro and outro from each number.

Its fun to hear the great Casey do what he did best and this is ear candy for me.
