I doubt it on either holiday. I'd bet on Thanksgiving weekend I have a feeling there wont be a thanksgiving weekend special as a lot of stations (especially WODC And the other iHeart ones)will have flipped to all christmas music,we might have to wait til next year Oh cr@p...forgot that wretched period was nearly upon us. Did I mention how much I hate that so many stations go to all Xmas music three weeks before Thanksgiving???

Prediction for next week's show: 1st Guess: 10/14/72 2nd Guess: 10/14/78 Tough week to guess. I'm assuming that we'll hear another early 70's show, and the one that seems to fit the best is 1972. If it's back to the late 70's, it would more than likely be 1978 or maybe 10/16/76 (Rick Dees at #1!)... Maybe you'll be right on both, since pre-1973 and four-hour countdowns are almost always paired with something else. (Though 10/14/78 was once aired by Premiere in edited three-hour form, not by leaving off the first hour but by cutting all the extras out.)

Optional extras for 10/3/1970
Hour #1: "Yesterday" - The Beatles Hour #2: "Young Love" - Sonny James Hour #3: "Easier Said Than Done" - The Essex
With the exception of "Yesterday" (don't know where that came from), the other two op extras were taken from the original broadcast. Also, Larry Verne's "Mr. Custer" is deleted but The Lettermen's medley of "Goin' Out Of My Head/Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" will remain in the show.

Wondering here... five years before this weekend's 10/3/70 show, on the 10/2/65 chart, "Yesterday" moved into the Top 40 from #45 to #3. Maybe Casey highlights this chart move in the original show, and it becomes an optional extra with this weekend's version? There was one show featured a couple of years ago in which one of Casey's stories became an optional extra. Maybe the same thing is being done with "Yesterday"... again, just an idea.

Boo to Premiere for deleting "Mr.Custer"-One of the greatest novelty hits of all time.

Dr.Demento once said that Larry Verne worked in a photography studio-The people who wrote "Mr.Custer" knew that Verne was able to do a Southern accent-That got him the job.

KOKZ skipped the second optional extra for 10/3/1970 Interesting -- They've played every other extra, including plenty of country songs as well. Just curious: What was Casey's stretch story that led into "Young Love"? Brian

Interesting that there are several songs making inch-by-inch moves (Sugarloaf, the Kinks) that eventually hit the Top Ten, but the week's big mover by the 4 Tops ended up peaking at #11.

Seemed to be happening at least a few times in '70, and to Soul/R&B songs. "Express Yourself" and "It's a Shame" had similar big moves on this chart, only to peak just a few positions higher. Two months earlier, James Brown's "Sex Machine" leaped from #30 to #15, only to peak right there.

I'd forgotten how gloriously cheesy "Indiana Wants Me" was, complete with cheapo siren and megaphone sound effects. AT40 faded it before the ending 'shootout', though. "If a man ever needed dyin' he did"---now there's a classic line! If it had come out a few years later it would've probably been turned into a made-for-TV movie on ABC starring Burt Convy and Joyce Bulifant!
