Notes


Cassette (FM,master,TDK SA-C60)

Broadcast live on WMMS, Cleveland Ohio. "Coffee Break Concert", broadcast on a Wednesday morning. It was 5 days before she started a national tour.

In the interview she says her band The Toys were previously known as the 7th Avenue Band, so that explains the song title "The Boys On 7th Avenue" performed as an encore on some dates of the tour.

Part of a weekly show on WMMS in Cleveland called "The Coffeebreak Concert", it was done on Wednesday mornings and usually aired from 10-11 AM, but it was later moved from 11-12. It started out with mainly folky type artists recorded in the radio studio, mostly recorded in advance, mostly local artists. In the late 1970's they moved out of the studios to the nearby Agora and did the shows live, at first mainly with local bands, who were happy to do it for the free promotion, but they eventually started getting some national acts to perform and of course Rachel Sweet was both a national act and a hometown girl, so it worked out well.
