KAAY & Record Promotion


This is a picture of Matt White and Dave Montgomery with another gold record award. There is also a mysterious hand in the lower right holding some kind of an award cup. The picture was taken in front of the KAAY studios when they were on 7th street across from the State Capitol. This is from 1974 and the name of the record seems to have escaped everyone's memory. I enlarged the picture trying to get a clue and I think it's a Columbia record. For those of you outside the "business", record companies often awarding stations a gold record plaque when the station had helped break a new record or contributed to it's reaching a million in sales. Obviously, record promoters were in and out of KAAY all the time pushing their latest. They always had plenty of giveaway records. Dave supplied this photo and I tied a little enhancing since the original was fading. We would be interested in hearing from anyone who can remember names of records, or KAAY's participation in making the hits. Email me at: ajlinds@yahoo.com.
