Muzak Tape 2 Southern Airlines
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 07. 2021
- By popular request, the remaining Muzak Airline tapes 2, 3 and 4.
These tapes are 1 full hour each side (Tape 1 was 45 minutes per side).
Muzak Tape 2 Southern Airlines Both Sides. Muzak tape played on Southern Airlines (SPS)
7 inch reels fit conveniently on a plane, recorded 2 track mono at 3 3/4 IPS.
Classic music tunes with some selections relating to travel and places.
Muzak custom recorded, Sound Hound could not identify most selections.
About 30 minutes a side. 1960s SPS5460 32 Southern MUZAK
Muzak Airline Tape Labeling System:
1. UAL-413B or SPS5460 Unique Program Number
2. 32, 28, 57, 132 or 136 Copy Number of the Program
3. UAL, Delta or Southern Airline ID (UAL for United)
The same unique Program Number could be on many Planes in the fleet.
The Airline could have rotated different Programs on the same route so that frequent flyers won't have to listen to the same program too frequently.
It is not clear how often or who (airline or Muzak) would rotate the tapes, if at all.

this music is a soul........ the music of today cannot compete this masterpiece
I heard that. :)
This is awesome! I play this thru my central speaker system throughout my house and backyard. My neighbors think I'm crazy LOL.
I DO THE IDENTICAL THING THE SAME LIKE 👍 YOU
Smoooooooth.
I wish I had a central speaker system in my house. I’d do the same thing. My mom came over years ago when I had recorded and was playing a Seeberg1000 tape. She said, this reminds me, I have to pick up some groceries on my way home. 😂 Too bad Aerosmith and Run DMC are considered shopping music today. What a mess
@@larkatmic LOL tru dat
Счастливый человек и соседи у вас хорошие.Конкретно эту музыку не включал.Пока другую включаю на полмощи колоночки,так брат затупок приходит орет что громко,снимает на тлф звук для полиции.А это запись отличная.Какой стиль музыки этого видео?
The '60's were a great time to grow up in. Thank you
and 70's.
This specific music is the soundtrack of a glorious time in America. Gas was low, groceries were low, and life was good.
For certain people, anyway.
@@bonchbonch true
Meh, it's all the same today. Inflation has your perception skewed.
Not with LBJ sending teenagers to get killed in 'Nam.
@@bonchbonchlife was good for decent law abiding citizens, today life is good for criminals and other parasites. Too bad.
Crazy to think all this music exists and the only way to listen is unofficial via an upload on CZcams.
The hotel I worked at got it off the phone line, the fidelity wasn't so great, almost NO hi end. But at places downtown, within the same exchange, you could hear cymbals. I got it for years off an SCA receiver. The host station overmodulated the main carrier, and it was full of crosstalk, but I had MUZAK at home. My Mom often would sing to the old songs. Thanks again for posting this gem!!
used to work for carl's jr restaurant in the 80s and we played this wonderful music all day off a very huge reel .never seen one reel that large played one side then played the other side of the tape it played for a month .they need to bring this music back for stores and restaurants it was so enjoyable not like the garbage they play nowadays can't go shopping or go out to eat with out putting my finger's in my ears
Must be hard eating with your fingers in your ears.
This was literally mind control music. If that was your thing.
@@richmanwisco Easy listening is far from mind controlling. Start taking your meds again.
I was a sysop for a company that had Muzak in their offices and I knew where the volume control was, so I was actually able to CRANK the Muzak throughout the office after 7 PM or so daily; it was WONDERFUL.
I love this music I play at night at a decent volume when I go to sleep it's relaxing
Not only do I love hearing this music (fwiw, I am a 72yo male in the northwestern USA, where Muzak was born), I appreciate the background details about how these tapes worked on actual planes in the various airlines. Cheers!
Super cool
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
I sorely miss this Era. Life was truly Good back then. Would love a One-Way-Trip Time Machine!
THANK YOU❤
Not only historically interesting but a great collection of instrumentals. Thank you.
Listening to this while studying makes the session feel more like reading a newspaper than studying
Ahhh... Mom's checking us all in at the airport for our summer vacation to Florida.
This plays in the background as Mom lights up a Now Menthol 100 in the smokers section in the plane...I fiddled with the other arm-rest/ashtray waiting for the pretty lady with the carts to bring us Pepsi and airplane peanuts....1977'd
I absolutely love this. Listen all the time. Unique and interesting arrangements. Such talented musicians. Thank you so much for uploading this❤
Beautiful/EZ Listening Music aired on radio stations such as KABL 960 AM and 98.1 FM in San Francisco just to name one out of other radio stations alike across the country . This music was also heard in stores, elevators, offices, restaurants, shopping malls etc.
I wish one of the big radio conglomerates would bring up at least one station with this music format in every market. I’m certain people would tune in and listen. Businesses (retail, healthcare, etc.), students cracking away on homework, malls, etc. I’m sure it would make a comeback.
Super mix! J'aime!!!
Long live Muzak ! I hope someday a major music label (Sony, Universal, EMI) will get a hold of all these gems (original studio master tapes) and release them on CD's & digital stream !
Not quite the same as Music, Seeburg Background Music is streaming at:

unfortunately Mood Media has purchased the Muzak name and all of their assets. it seems as if they are in no rush to do anything any time soon with these tapes. we have been in contact with mood media employees, but very few of them seem to know anything about the archives. sometimes we’re not even communicating with a human, we just get auto generated responses.
@@The4MusketeersYT
That’s really too bad. Sometimes, I think corporations don’t know what the people really want. I remember as a radio DJ, every station I worked at would soon or later bring in “consultants”. They would inevitably change the format and ruin the stations. The terrible changes were reflected in the plummeting ratings in the Arbitron book.
I’d love to bring back a “beautiful music” format station and broadcast this stuff. AM or FM, I don’t care. I’d bet people would be surprised at how many businesses would tune in the house system to it. People would tune in and listen, I’m sure of it.
I redid timestamps, hopefully they don’t get deleted again

High art. Unparalleled.
i wish someone would post the music played in toys r'us stores. i worked there for a bit and it was this music punctuated by frequent versions of the toys r'us theme song. now that i think about it, my first job was at a farrell's in the 70s, and they played olde-tyme rinty tinky music which would be awesome to hear again.
When they played tapes locally, in the 70s, you could call the office and they'd ID the song for ya! There was a snappy one called "Howdy Pardner", which I'd kill to hear again....Another played late one nite, called "Team From The Sky" had a Pink Floyd kinda sound.
if only they still did that. that would be a life saver.
Maybe if "Muzak Archives" allowed us to access their tape collection, we could find these 2 songs…
Several of the songs reminds me of the Partridge Family.
LOVE THIS! Thanks so very much! Wonderful music!
The first song is "Playboy", a Top 20 hit for Gene & Debbe in the Spring of 1968.
Thanks for uploading these!
Thanks for the song title.
Wow, this takes me back to the dentist's office! Awesome times
i wish my dentist would play this time of music. you’re lucky to have been alive in a time when this still existed .
🤣
Keep thinking I have heard this recently while I was on hold . Pretty certain of it 🙂
Awesome version of Happy Together!!
2B01 (at 57:13) is California Soul. Thanks for posting this!
After seeing so many Muzak tapes uploaded to YT and all the positive comments accompanying those posts, I have just one thing to say... Why are there no more "Easy Listening" stations around anymore?...NOW, before you answer that, know this: I've checked ALL the subcarrier feeds on every FM station in the Tampa Bay area and there are no EL streams, not one. I can, on occasion, pickup WAVV-FM out of Naples, FL, about 120 miles away, which happens to be one of the few EL stations left in the country. But then some crummy low power FM in Tampa was authorized to use the same freq as WAVV, stupid FCC!
Similar thing happened here in Fort Worth. KNCT Killeen, TX could be picked up in Fort Worth until a religious station in Denton wiped it out. Luckily, listening to KNCT I became aware of their stream which is still up. I list easy streams on my Internet Jukebox website sites.google.com/site/inetjukebox/
Unfortunately Jones College Radio from Jacksonville, FL recently terminated their stream. KNCT, KLUX and KHOY still broadcast as well as stream. WAVV used to stream.
@@CV2200A Thanks for your comment. I always looked forward to listening to Jones College radio while on my way to visit my folks in SC. While working for the U of Wis, River Falls, we always had KNXR-FM, from Rochester, MN on for background music in our TV engineering shop. The station has since been sold, I don't know what they broadcast now. Sure do miss the big "easy" stations in the Twin Cities from the 70's: KEEY, WLOL, KTWN, WAYL, and KSTP (KS95). In fact, I worked for KSTP-TV for some years and their FM station studios were in the same blg we were, was fun to visit them. Even podunk KABG in Cambridge, MN was fun to listen to with their scratchy and skippy records. Oh for the good ol' days when vinyl and tape ruled. While attending college in Minneapolis, I would often rifle thru KEEY's dumpster and found many great old tapes they threw away, still have them. One day their Chief Engineer caught me and invited me into the station for the nickel tour. Very nice man, I can't remember his name, but he gave me an Eimac 4-400 tetrode power tube from their AM station's Collins transmitter, still have that, too, yep, I'm a pack rat ;-)
Probably because that demographic who used to listen to it is dead and they think people today want the garbage they peddle
@@JRNipper The reason - well, there are several... The music itself was harder to find as it wasn't selling as well as it once did. As far as radio was concerned, the audience "aged out." We began to see this in the mid-1980's.
Unfortunately, you can only find instrumental EL music on Sirius XM.
It's all great, but that version of Son of a Preacher Man at 36:11 is outrageous!
24:16 is happy together, an old school favorite of mine
Cab Driver, oNCE MORE 'ROUND THE BLOCK!
tbh cab driver slaps lol
I have identified 2B07 as "Yes, My Darling Daughter".
bro heck yes
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the uplaod....awesome!!
groovy!
there’s only 5 tunes left to identify on this tape. i think we very well may get all of them some time in the near future :)
[2A17] (0:38:13) is Tony Benett’s “Yesterday I Heard the Rain (Esta Tarde vi Llover)” in which “Whispering your name…” is one of the opening lines

I'm guessing this music ran on endless loop for Southern Airlines Flights during a particular month / year? In this case, if your flight was more than 2 hrs, you'd hear it loop back to the same music if you had your headphones on the whole time.
Dreams of the everyday housewife by Glen Campbell is from the late 1960s
21 A (48:02) Is “You Showed Me” by the turtles
Thanks!
1:17:07 is hooked on a feeling from reveille
that’s definitely arranged by sid bass lol
1:37:44 Build Me Up Buttercup
WAS IT A DEMO???
i noticed the description said 1960s, but i think all 4 of these were actually from 1970. this one actually says 1/28/70, but the other three aren’t marked. they all have repeats from demo albums, and the same few at that, and they all come from 69/70.
That is the only reel with a red (or pink) label that says on it:
"LEASE PERIOD
REMOVED
973
1/28/70".
Therefore, I would expect that that tape was in service for more than one month (but who knows how long they stay in use). The other tapes may be older or newer. The fact it was removed at the beginning of 1970 confirms that they were in use in the late 1960s early 1970s. The fact that these were being sold at all may even mean that they were phasing the whole system out at that time. Forensic speculation.
@@CV2200A i thought the 973 was september of ‘73 meaning it was removed in 73 but this would imply that it was before january of 70, which is a contradiction because son of a preacher man wasn’t until 1970. but then again this is muzak, who on multiple occasions has misdated things
@@CV2200A but your point is still valid, that they would have used these around that time. i just wish these things were more clear and consistent
@@The4MusketeersYT This sounds ca. 1969-'70 based on the hit tunes covered, and the arrangements don't sound much later.
2B23 1:52:28 is "Uno Tranquillo" by Riccardo Del Turco
2B23 Irresistiblement (Irresistibly) is the name of the melody as recorded by Paul Muriat. Since it is a Muzak recording, we don't know the artist in this Muzak instrumental. Riccardo Del Turco is a vocalist so it can't be him on this Muzak instrumental unless he composed the melody.
@@CV2200A looks like we have another case of honolulu baby/sweet little 16…
@@CV2200A not sure how much this helps, but listening to some archives from london and another UK record label, i was able to find some pieces with a similar sound, and i believe this may have been arranged by Earl Sheldon.
@@The4MusketeersYT Yeah, it definitely sounds like one of Sheldon's arrangements.
Does anyone know what the name of the song is at 13:56? This whole recording is Great!

@@CV2200A also i misspoke, it was originally by Bobby Bare, not Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis did it two years later
Similar selections like the ones that I have on the 14 inch Muzak tape reels I own.
id like to hear the ones you have on your 14” reel
Yes the Muzak fans would love to hear that in full, not many of Muzak’s 14 inch radio station/public reels have been sold online or in public and it is possible about 1/3 of half of those tapes were thrown out or destroyed after places didn’t find a use for them. So any of these reel that make it into the consumers hands are a sight to behold

where did 2B22 Monday Morning come from. i thought it was by the mamas and the papas but they don’t sound the same
The Mamas & The Papas" recorded "Monday, Monday" which is a different melody. I vaguely remember a song something like "Monday Morning" other parts of the lyric go "Monday, Monday, I love Monday" but I can't remember what artist recorded such a song. It could be that instead of Monday the song is about Sunday, or some other day of the week, but Monday or Sunday sound better. Perhaps someone else can confirm the original artist that melody goes with. I don't get a match with Sound Hound.
CORRECTION: The song title is "Sunday Morning" (not Monday Morning). Here is the Glen Campbell and Bobbie Gentry version czcams.com/video/FISBPT2lE_A/video.html
Pump it into shopping malls and watch the savages leave.
don’t mind if i do

If this music wasn't weaponized against employees, it's actually pretty damn good. Its purpose may have been sinister, but hey, it works. I listen to it when I work from home and work better.
So was this played on the plane, or when you were on hold?
I really don't know. How likely would these play at several terminals or gates as opposed to be playing on dozens of airplanes? Maybe someone will leave a comment stating how they were actually used.
On further thought, airport terminal would be able to receive the over the air background music. To play on a plane, you would have needed a tape.
from what i found, there was a tape deck in the back of the airliner, from which headphones for each seat were connected so that passengers could choose between listening or not, which begs the question… why were they so bothered by its presence?
Just wondering what tape speed these reels were set at. Is the reel 4 track/double sided. Suprised at how good of a selection there is. Some of the Muzak selections are so sachrine laced. Unlike Seeburg, which remained constinent and up to date with the decades.
Muzak at that time was mono. They were recorded 1/2 track at 3 3/4 ips. On this tape is is about 1 hour each side of the 7" reel. So almost 2 hours on this CZcams.
QUE PRECIOSA MUSICA ,YO LA PONGO EN EL TRABAJO Y ES UN DELEITE PARA MIS OIDOS , A TRAVES DE MI VIDA LA HE ESCUCHADO , EN COMERCIALES, PELICULAS, SUPERMERCADOS RESTAURANTES ETC. ETC. PERO AQUI ESTA REUNIDA TODA, Y QUE PADRE PODER ESCUCHARLA , MUY BUENA , LOS ESCUCHO Y VEO DESDE MEXICO CITY 👍🇲🇽👍🇲🇽👍
just wondering, is it possible for you to do timestamps in the description so this video has chapters. you can copy and paste the ones from my comment if you want to.
Individuals may still place timestamps in the comments. However, I do not feel Muzak was intended to be listened to one song at a time. Therefore, I will not attempt to include timestamps in the my main comments for any of the Muzak or other music videos I have posted. Also, CZcams limits the number of characters in a video description. I think it more important to list the song titles in order, as best as we can figure them out.
Everyone, thanks for filling in song titles.
@@CV2200A i see, they allow up to 50 which the 47 tracks here fit within, but i understand why you wouldn’t want to divide these.
why is the audio glitching out? 35:41
nevermind its coming out wrong on my end
If that is the song "Call Me", I heard NO glitching of the sound. Maybe you ran into a streaming glitch while playing from CZcams. Or maybe you heard a glitch on some other song?
1:32:24
3:35 - What a lousy arrangement of an otherwise beautiful, melancholy song, "I Started a Joke." I guess these versions can't all be gems.
yea i noticed they took a lot of the original energy and changed it into something more upbeat. its very different from the original
It is so God awful I like it.
It's better than 99% of modern "music".
Ads??? Sorry that defeats the purpose of a relaxing muzak upload
Sorry about that. Social media is increasing commercials as the years go by. If CZcams detects Copyright material, it puts ads in the video to compensate the Copyright owner. I do not monetize. If I did they would blank out the sound of the Copyright song or block my video entirely.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: 1-There should be a "Skip Ad" button, but you have to be at your PC to press it. 2-You can download the entire video with "Download Helper" or other similar plug-in. Commercials don't get inserted into downloads.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand for the Greek National Anthem.
I prefer the muzak without eclectic guitars! This sounds awful.
