Vinyl Tap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinyl Tap is a CBC Radio One radio show hosted by Randy Bachman, musician alumnus of the famous Canadian rock bands, The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
In the two hour program, Randy Bachman plays predominantly classic rock and older jazz music and tells various stories behind the selections, including numerous personal anecdotes. The program's format somewhat resembles Finkleman's 45s, the program it replaced on the CBC Radio schedule, although Bachman presents a very different range of musical selections than Danny Finkleman did.
When it became evident that new shows were being produced during the 2005 lockout of the CBC, Bachman was accused of scabbing, or continuing to work during a lockout. CBC and Mr. Bachman's position is that as an independent contractor, these shows fell outside the union's collective agreement.[1]
