You are bidding on a rare set of 4 X LPs, American Top 40 With Casey Kasem (Program 853-4), featuring America's TOP 40 hits from the chart date 7/25/1985. (There are a few additional dedication requests thrown in as well.) This vinyl LP set was released by ABC Watermark Records in 1985; cat. #853-4. What makes this set especially cool is that the records come complete with Casey Kasem's commentary, as well as several 30 second (now vintage) commercials / trailers for Velamints, "Weird Science" (movie), US Army, Starburst, Cadbury ("Back To The Future" T-shirt giveaway), and others.

Track-listing follows below, though note that Side 1A is backed with 4B; 1B with 3A, 2A with 3B and 2B with 4A. This means that, spoiler alert, the #1 song in the country on this date was Paul Young's "Every Time You Go Away."
