The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (16)


Another page from the ACME Catalog -


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1955 Road Runner/ Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes cartoon, Guided Muscle:



Look for Wile E. to pull the 'That's All, Folks!' tag onto the screen at the end of this cartoon.


The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is celebrating the anniversary of the release of Elton John's ninth studio album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy on May 19th in 1975. Today we are listening to a live recording of his concert on June 21st 1975, where at Wembly Stadium, in London, Elton John performs the entire album.



The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, the first album to do so, and stayed top for seven weeks. For the first time since 1971’s Friends, only one single was issued from an Elton album: Someone Saved My Life Tonight. This was because of the immense success of his past two non-album 45s, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Philadelphia Freedom. Both were recorded during the Captain Fantastic sessions and each reached number one in America.
