Did anybody catch Botany radio in New Zealand Saturday night and hear if they are back with the schedule or pulling random shows out of a hat On the '70s station list thread 'jgsynergy' states that they did not play AT40 at all this week.

No love for little jimmy osmond from premeire this week Thankfully, no. One verse and chorus from him is more than enough! Related edit question: Did AT40 ever play "Layla" in full during it's chart run? Yes, on the 7/15/72 show when Casey said he was playing the long version in the intro.

Pattie Boyd/Harrison/Clapton/ had to have "Something" going on to have not one, but TWO famous songs written in her honor!

Make that three, with Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" (heard in this week's SXM show and Premiere's B show), which later served as the title of Pattie's autobiography.

You are so right, how did I forget that one. A regular Helen of Troy, that woman.

Story is NOT in the 4-minute instrumental coda which is what I was referring to.

What happened to extra songs post for June 17, 1972? Stones "Rip This Joint" (from #1 LP) Does anyone know why they stopped playing a song from the #1 LP at some point in 1971? It was my favorite feature in the early days of the show.

I'm sure the main reason was because of time issues. Average song length was getting longer so the extras were getting fewer and fewer. I too enjoyed that part of the early 1970s shows. It extended into at least 1972, as evidenced by the Stones song referenced above.

Not that I'm holding my breath... Obviously there was nothing "Basketball Jones"-like that was playable from "Big Bambu". As I recall that entire LP was pretty raunchy and druggy. The other three omissions were probably due to time constraints, although skipping Billy Prestons's LP is strange.
