Wow, episode 49!!!!! We have almost made it to the 50 mark. Can you believe a year of Way Back-Music Machines, and next week will be our 50th road trip through the history of rock and roll.

This week, a stop in Los Angeles as an important, and record-breaking single makes it debut on radio around the world. 5000 stations to be exact. It is a small world, after all, and we are indeed the world.

Next, off to the U.K. for the concert debut of a new 'girl band". Comprised to be the counterpart of the 'boy band' craze, this band had two number one albums and numerous singles. But we talk about their live debut, and no, we did not wear kilts.

Finally an iconic live album makes it way to number one. Live albums existed before, but none had the impact that this album seemed to have. We will talk about someone coming alive, and shattering records, on Episode 49.

All that, plus charts, a special Memphis to Merseyside story and a classic commercial. Come and join the fun on this week's episode of The Way-Back Music Machine!
