Rick BiscegliaHOST
But tell us about the – you played a Raspberries record? What's the story, you guys?

Don IennerGUEST
So when I was the male boy, I became very friendly with the A&R people at Capitol.

Don IennerGUEST
And – The A&R guys just didn't listen to tapes, and that's what would come in, acetates or actual reel-to-reel tapes.

Don IennerGUEST
So at night, I would stay there from, I don't know, 6 to maybe 11 o'clock at night, and I would listen to tapes because I just loved it.

Don IennerGUEST
I went to see every band show, band, band, the Robbie Robertson band or – I went to all those – we had traffic because we distributed Island at the time, and it was Low Sparker, High Heel Boys.

Don IennerGUEST
I mean, all those amazing things that were going – plus we had the Beatles catalog, obviously, which I still have every Beatle record unopened in my office – But I was listening to these tapes, and somebody sent in a tape of the Raspberries.
