Audio clip of announcer Ron E Sparks on 2SM, circa March-April 1976.
The importance of radio in driving the publicity machine is readily apparent, with Sparks interviewing some of the biggest names in the business, including (but certainly not limited to): Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Freddie Mercury, Bo Diddley, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson Five, ABBA, and, as we can hear in this clip, a little group named AC/DC.
Ron E Sparks (1952–2024) presented the drive-time program on Sydney radio station 2SM from 1972 to 1979.
