"Big Camp Records" was a goofy name that I came up with when recording Don Rynd performing "Mr. Bojangles" at WCP. We pasted a paper label on the tape reel to look like a real record and called it "Big Camp Records", produced by Neil, engineered by Bob (Segan). The real camp records were on the "Alma Mater" label, also a phony, conjured up by that dorky guy that used to come up every summer with his tape recorder and microphones to do the camp album.
Regarding "The Doors", it was in the spring of '67 that "Light My Fire" became a rage, and I typically would bring up some personal records to air on WCP that were not otherwise available. That record was from my personal collection, and I still have that original vinyl, complete with scratches and stuff that engineers like Howie Benson would cause.
The loudspeaker thing was an idea that me, GER and Dick Rossner came up with in order to expand the listening audience in the morning. It worked, and became a staple of morning and afternoon broadcasting.
Great to hear from Marty, and please Howard, do us proud, Ray Manzarek will be listening.
