I'm not one to complain about edits, but holy smokes how short were That's The Way AND Fly Robin Fly.

Well I AM one to complain about edits esp when they are in the original show and the Fly Robin Fly WAS. Clocked in at 1 minute and 15 seconds and has to right up there in the category of shortest edited songs in AT40 history. And since the story and song of Indian Reservation were in the same hour, it was edited for that. FYI, this is about the time that after playing so few extras over the previous 3+ years that you could count them on one hand, AT40 started playing them on a regular basis. So edits of this sort became common until they finally went to a 4 hour show.
Incidentally these are both future #1 songs. But since FYF was edited originally, they did not know that it would hit #1 while with KC & co., Premiere obviously did know that hit #1.

Yes, both of those consecutive future #1 songs were certainly chopped up badly. But, on the bright side, this show was one of the few in which AT40 did NOT cut out the bridge in "Nights On Broadway" (The part that starts "I will wait..."). That's a great bridge that really makes the song (IMHO) one of the Bee Gees' best.

Along with the dramatic but ultimately phony story about John D. Loudermilk writing "Indian Reservation" to free himself from captivity. I'm thinking that it was some time in 1975 that they found out it was a hoax--if so, this would likely have been the last time this story was told by Casey. I note that Casey closed the hour with that oldie -- I don't recall that happening very often, if ever.

Until I hear differently, I'll assume that the OE's are different. In that case:
* "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back In Love Again" -- LTD. * "Swingtown" -- The Steve Miller Band. * "Here You Come Again" -- Dolly Parton.
Of note -- after dropping a staggering 56(!) notches the previous week, the Electric Light Orchesta's "Telephone Line" held at No. 63 this week.

Those of you blessed enough to have a copy of the only edition of the AT40 yearbook, can follow the 11-5-77 countdown, in the very chart in the charts section.

The third column, which has the number 7 for ELO, represents the peak position to date for the song. Yes, ELO was holding at #63 on the 11/5/77 chart but TL was at #31 two weeks before that.

I enjoyed almost all the songs that I had heard on the 1975 countdown, but they severely edited "That's the Way (I Like It)" and "Fly, Robin, Fly," two of my favorite disco songs of the time.

On the 11-1-75 show, Casey misidentified the lead singer of Orleans. He said it was John Hall, when it had always been Larry Hoppen.

Next weeks 70s show is from 11/5/1977 which aired in 2011.
The optional extras are the same as last time.
Hour #1: "Baby Come Back" - Player Hour #2: "You're In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)" - Rod Stewart Hour #3: "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" - Andy Gibb
And some affiliates will air the Casey Christmas shows for the first time this season. It kicks off with the remixed 1971 Christmas special.

I haven't checked to see if John Hall ever sang lead on any Orleans songs, but he did have a solo album in 1982 "All of the Above", with a great single, "Crazy (Keep On Falling)" that just missed the Top 40, I think. Check it out on youtube. link

If my records are correct, of the eight possible shows to air from 10/22/77 to 12/17/77, they have literally only aired two in the last five years. 11/12/77 was aired in 2010 and 2012, 11/5/77 was aired in 2011 and this year. Meanwhile, 10/22/77, 11/26/77 and 12/17/77 have never been aired...not sure why one or more of those couldn't have been played instead. Guess there's still a chance we could get 12/17/77, but...strange that they haven't spread things out more.

Check it out on youtube. link This song hit #42 in early 1982 (it first charted in late '81). I've actually heard the classic rock station in Boston, 100.7 WZLX, play this song a couple of times over the past few months. They seem to periodically pull out old songs they haven't played in years (if ever) and give them a few spins to see if they get any listener reaction; this may be the latest example of that.

I saw John Hall open for Bob Seger around the time of that album
