Here’s that commercial Casey was talking about ahead of this week’s highest new entry by the Carpenters at #18; the original commercial sung by its lyricist Paul Williams: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVGmdwHTP1I

Next weeks is 10/9/1976 which originally aired in 2011. The scheduled optional extras are the same as last week. Hour #1: "More Than A Feeling" - Boston Hour #2: "I Never Cry" - Alice Cooper Hour #3: "You Don't Have To Be A Star To Be In My Show" - Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. Bummer that they're playing the Oct. 9th show instead of 10/16/76. I was hoping to hear Casey announce Rick Dees at #1. A little surprised they aren't waiting to play 11/6/76 or 11/13/76 - neither show has been aired, and as far as I can tell, Premiere has not aired a November 1976 show since 2008! Maybe they still will play one of those?

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess: 10/20/73 2nd Guess: 10/21/72
Just like the 80's show, should be a near lock for next week--going on 3 months since we last heard 1973...

I'm thinking we'll hear the 10/20/73 show next weekend-To the best of my knowledge,Premiere has never aired it before.

With the exception of "Yesterday" (don't know where that came from), the other two op extras were taken from the original broadcast. 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. Casey's intro to the song suggests that it was taken from a show broadcast sometime in October, 1970. Walt Bailey's web site shows that "Yesterday" was an extra on the 10/17/70 show (chart date 10/24/70), apparently because it was the #1 song from five years earlier. I've never heard the 10/17/70 show, but I'd guess that what we heard as an optional extra last week was probably taken from that show. Why they used "Yesterday" as an optional extra, as opposed to a song that was new and on the charts around this time, I don't know. Maybe they didn't like the remaining original extras from this week's show and decided to use one from a nearby show instead. At this point, it seems to be Premiere's policy that all extras on any newly rebroadcast shows from 1970-73 must be introed by Casey, not Larry, so they're only going to use songs where they can find a suitable Casey intro from somewhere.

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 KOKZ drops an optional extra once in a while. Another example is the 6/26/1985 show from a few months ago, when they didn't play the fourth hour optional extra, which was Don Henley's "Not Enough Love In This World". They don't do it very often, and I've never noticed any pattern to when they do it. Similar to the explanation Mike Eiland has provided for why WODC occasionally does the same thing, it may be nothing more than something causing the show to fall significantly behind (e.g., an unusually heavy commercial load for some reason) and automated software dropping an optional segment to stay on schedule. In Casey's intro to "Young Love", the hook was that James had a current streak of 15 consecutive #1 hits on the country chart. (James' discography on Wikipedia does not agree with that count, but it's what Casey said.) While "Young Love" wasn't part of that streak, Casey identified it as James' biggest pop hit.

I guess the original extra - Mr. Custer - from the 10.03.70 show was a bit too politically incorect for this day and age with its poking fun at attacking Indians and wiping out Custer.
I had never heard this recording - so I found it and listened. From someone whose grandfather was half Cherokee - I found the recording inoffensive and funny at times. It was interesting to listen to - what made people laugh 50 years ago - so very different and innocent in a lot of ways from the humor of today.

I highly doubt Premiere execs have anything to do with things. My guess is that it is the folks we hear in the closing credits like Toby Petty that have a much bigger hand in things.

Had to laugh (with a undercurrent of sadness) at one of the "great radio stations" mentioned on the 1976 show tonight: Iranian National Radio, Tehran, Iran. We were not yet the "Great Satan" back in Shah-ruled, pre-Khomeini 1976... (...and young Iranians could probably dance to the songs they heard on AT40 without fear of the 'religious police'...)

We were not yet the "Great Satan" back in Shah-ruled, pre-Khomeini 1976... (...and young Iranians could probably dance to the songs they heard on AT40 without fear of the 'religious police'...) I heard that too, right before #38 (You Are My Starship-Norman Connors). I vaguely remember Casey mentioned the station in Tehran later, on another show too when he was doing another AT40 from early 1978. In an unrelated hindsight, since we all know Casey was a DJ/announcer in the Armed Forces Radio during his military days in the Korean War of the early 1950s, it’s very possible his voice at one time was heard in an area which is north of the DMZ in present day North Korea (although in this case it was way before his AT40 days when his voice was much younger!)
