CLL #743 (feat.

Adam and Drew revisits the ‘Gaines-Burgers’ analogy from an interview tour and there is a surprise call to someone who has guested on the show before and will guest again one more time before the millennium(hint!)

Maná) – 08/03/1998 – Monday Night Show Source – Spinfly Tape (2009) with Kevin Tape (2016) and TobyDog Tape (2007) patches This is the existing Spinfly Tape, it has the best audio so it was used as the body of the show with the Kevin tape used to splice in the missing opening 4 minutes of the show and the TobyDog Tape used to complete the closing break. This is Maná’s only appearance on Classic Loveline, the band are solid guests, somewhat quiet but still good and caller Michelle is a standout, not in a good way. From Wiki: Maná is a Mexican Rock music band from Guadalajara, Jalisco.[2][3] The group’s current line-up consists of vocalist/guitarist

Melinda Messenger) – 08/02/1998 – Sunday Night Show Source – Spinfly Tape (2009) with JBJ Tape (2008) and TobyDog (2007) patches This is the only complete copy of the show to ever be circulated online, they were all missing chunks from the show, this is another one of those “it takes a village” episodes where we needed all 3 recordings to complete the episode. This ep is now controversial in hindsight, many fans on Lovelinetapes.com have discussed Adam’s tone, interactions and strong interest in Melinda, some listeners find it to be uncomfortable and think he was out of line, others think it was simply what Adam does when he likes a woman and perhaps he was just a little too over emphatic this time while noting that Melinda was laughing and Read More →

CLL #738 (feat. The Love Between the Two Hosts) – 07/28/1998 – Tuesday Night Show Source – Kevin Tape (2016) without patches from the Spinfly Tape (2009) nor the TobyDog Tape (2007) This is the new Kevin tape and I found two other sources very last minute, both of them incomplete and without any of the missing content needed to complete this episode, it’s damn near 100% complete on its own and is only missing about 10-30 seconds from about 15-min. into the show, a satellite drop out or swear was bleeped. I wish people hadn’t re-labeled the old files, it added an extra 30-hrs.  of work onto this episode. Enjoy everyone! Adam tells the Adrienne Barbeau sexual assault dream story and even busts out some Tim the Russian Rapper.
