2). For Your Ears Only (all 30 plus files were reuploaded into the Members Only page).
3). Real Men Of Genius (Published February 4, 2014)
[NOTE: The entire 60 RM of G audio files stored in our archive – adding 40 more than what was listed in this page – the files will all be re-uploaded in the Commercials page].

Having been part of Motor City Radio Flashbacks from its early inception (and being non-radio related), the titled subjects (I feel) to be removed has outlived their space and time, here. Instead, the intended purpose of this site will focus on classic Detroit radio and subject matter (or anything else relevant to), which is why this website was created in the first place and moving forward will be about.

Curator, Motor City Radio Flashbacks
