Rapidly Rotating Records Logo

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

On this evening’s show, we’ll celebrate the birthdays of Phil Spitalny and Harry M. Woods, a radio series, a television series, and we’ll listen to this past week in recording history.
