I think this is the only 1987 option left as of now for the rest of the weekend. If I'm wrong, please correct me !! After KABQ, another station that will definitely air the B show would be KTSO in Tulsa (8:00 PM to midnight on Thursday night; link in the 80s station thread).
It's already over but KOSF in San Francisco did play the 1987 show. They normally choose between A and B show that is the later year. However, they don't play extras.

After playing the fourth extra (The Finer Things), KABQ went to their regular music instead of playing the top 2.

BOO!HISS!JEER! Sounds like KABQ cut the show off before getting to the top two! (Also looks like JMW and I posted our messages almost simultaneously!)

....And they left us hanging no #2-#1 I was concerned about my recording getting screwed up because of a power outage caused by the high winds here. Oh well, I'll try to get the last 2 songs on WPAC.

To update us on a concern from last week, WQSR is still playing AT40, from 1982. It started a couple of minutes early.

Was it just me hearing things or is the version of I Can't Go For That played at #2 different than the one that played during the Top 3 recap? It definitely was not you - I even pointed out in my critique that I noticed the song was longer than usual - I'm pretty sure it was the album version, which is generally the version that radio stations used when the song was played as a recurrent several years afterward. I could tell when I bought the 45 about two years after the song's chart run, since I was caught off guard at some of the parts that were cut out. IIRC, some of the differences include the lead-in to the last chorus ("Well, I, I'll do anything...") being cut in half, plus some of the ad libs near the end weren't on the 45. Those are the only differences I can remember, but your mind was not playing tricks on you - apparently, they had a little excess time in the final hour to allow them to play the longer version of the song. There is also a different version of "I Can't Go For That"-The Club Mix Version. I don't think that version was played on AT40 like "One On One" was in 1983. I have that on an RCA Gold label 45-probably a radio station copy.

I had no idea that WQSR has been carrying "AT40-The 80's" since 2009.

3/01/1986 last aired in 2015 (this was the same weekend the Gary Owens-guest-hosted show was available). These were the extras then (peak positions): Hour #1: "So Far Away" - Dire Straits (19) Hour #2: "West End Girls" - Pet Shop Boys (1) Hour #3: "Where Are You Now?" - Synch (77) Hour #4: "Addicted To Love" - Robert Palmer (1) Synch was from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. Their drummer, Jimmy Harnen (Wiki link), went on to be a record-company executive, eventually joining up with Scott Borchetta at Republic Nashville, now known as Big Machine Label Group. dL

Artist credit on the re-release was changed to Jimmy Harnen with Synch. If the band was still together a decade later they must have not been happy that a certain 'boy band' with a very similar name was huge at the time...

Premiere optional extras for 3/1/86 in 2015 were: "So Far Away" Dire Straits "West End Girls" Pet Shop Boys "Where Are You Now?" Synch "Addicted To Love" Robert Palmer I think that there is a good chance that "Where Are You Now?" will be replaced by "That Was Then, This Is Now". You are right again. Confirmed optional extras: Hour #1: "So Far Away" - Dire Straits Hour #2: "West End Girls" - Pet Shop Boys Hour #3: "That Was Then, This Is Now" - The Monkees Hour #4: "Addicted To Love" - Robert Palmer
