After 17 years of obsessively organizing and archiving Loveline the impossible happened and Superfan Giovanni was put in charge of the official archive, it's like King Ralph but not really.
This episode is getting a huge audio upgrade and has been essentially missing since it originally aired, only Brian managed to record it out of all of the known fan recordings, official/lost tapes and even VHS. This is the only known recording, it’s been missing from LoveLineTapes since the site began, I’m not sure this file was ever circulated, I’ve now repaired the source audio and it’s still very rough, the quality is good but the source signal or broadcast was compromised with static, still much more listenable than some of the lower fidelity files. Almost nobody has heard this one since it originally aired, let’s all listen together and find out what happens!

This episode is getting a huge audio upgrade, it’s now 99.9% complete with the missing chunks finally restored. The show is missing a few seconds due to some obscenity from Bob at the end of the AIDS debate, that was dropped out by Anderson and would not be present on any recordings, the show is however actually missing 1-3 words from Adam when returning from the final break.

This episode is 100% complete and a lot of fun, the guests are definitely “Sleeper Classic” material, The young woman who called in during a recent episode requesting to come visit the studio with her friends is actually watching this episode live with said friends, just outside the studio glass.

This episode is getting it’s first and only audio upgrade, the same Zone 105 stream recording has been passed around for years with failed attempts to fix or somehow add clarity to it, this is the new Debbi and Chris Tape with the untouched mp3 from 2001 now normalized and resampled at 44.1khz used for patches, the episode is 100% complete and has way better sound throughout, Drew is fresh from his appearance with Michael Jackson. The guests are from ‘Temptation Island’ season 1, it proves to be an interesting episode with a solid mason jar call that’s now far more listenable.

This episode is one of the most unique in the LoveLine history, just Adam and Lisa the Psychic, it does not go well… I have not heard this episode in over a decade, I can’t wait to hear if the very awkward energy is as enjoyable as I used to find it. Another “sadly this is all we got” episode, I’ve done my best to remaster and Frankenstein the scraps back into a 100% complete episode with not the worst audio in the archive.
Another bummer audio quality episode, a mix of the newer 22khz stream recording and the older 11khz from the Fresno affiliate, one of the only known recordings from that affiliate, much like Dr. John Bakaly “The George Lazenby of LoveLine Doctors.” Simon Rex is making his first known appearance on CLL, though he could have a lost visit from before this, he does not return to the show again during the Adam Carolla era. Simon proves to be a solid and fun guest. The episode is now 100% complete and the audio has been boosted, normalized and cleaned up the most it can be when dealing with such limited information in the files due to the extreme compression and lower quality recordings. We’re lucky to even have this!
