Best way I can describe the single mix on "Uncle John's Band" is that it is truly a single edit. A lot of the instrumentation is trimmed, as well as some of the verses. Only the last "Come hear Uncle John's Band..." is on the 45, the one after the fade out. To be honest, it is a bad edit. If you had only heard the 45, you could almost immediately tell it's been edited. Oh yeah, god d**n was removed (just like now!) to garner AM radio airplay. Jerry Garcia's take? Warner Bros. Records released "Uncle John's Band", backed with "New Speedway Boogie", as a single in 1970, but got limited airplay because of length issues. Garcia worked with Warners to cut it down, though he later called the mix "an atrocity." "I gave them instructions on how to properly edit it and they garbled it so completely," Garcia commented. The original album version ended up getting more air play than the revised Warner Bros. version. Found the 45 edit... Uncle John's Band [45 edit] - Grateful Dead

Offering a lost classic from 9/01/73 (SXM), which failed to crack Billboard's top 40. It's the group's US debut hit.
"You Got Me Anyway" - Sutherland Brothers and Quiver

Anybody mention 'Fallin', lady', by Punch? It's found on 1 of the Super hits of the '70s CDs. Good song!

Before I let go of the last week’s Labor Day episodes picks, I want to choose a couple of songs from the bonus shows. This one was actually mentioned in part in the Y2K special. The debut single release by Sex Pistols that just made inside the Top 40 British singles chart in 1976 at #38 (in its first peak week it was sandwiched between Neil Diamond’s “Beautiful Noise” at #39, and David Soul’s entry “Don’t Give Up On Us” at #37 !!!) . Yes, the real anarchy in the U.K. chart was under way. Hard to imagine it is now considered a classic…and perhaps tame by some of today’s materials. Of course Brits have always been warmer to punk-rock, but destruction of the established and increased corporate rock didn’t start until these guys came to the scene, even though their singles were banned by and large by all the broadcasters, no matter how high they were in the charts (like their #2 single “God Save the Queen” or the critics favorite “Pretty Vacant”). Anarchy in the U.K.-Sex Pistols

And for the number one songs of the 70s bonus show, here’s an old favorite that only made #87 in 1975 on Billboard Hot 100, but was #1 in Britain. It’s from the Scottish group “Pilot” that already started strong in chart territory with “Magic”. Like “Magic”, it’s written and sung by their guitarist David Paton (one of the regular members of Alan Parsons Project later on) as well as an earlier member of the Bay City Rollers. And Mr. Parsons’ connection? He produced the record. January-Pilot

The "Little ol' boys from Texas" is the artist featured on this lost 70s classic from September 11, 1976. Made it to #44 during an 11 week chart run. It's Only Love - Z Z TopApparently great minds think alike. I'll offer up a different lost 70s classic for September 11, 1976. America turned to Beatles George Martin once again to produce their sixth studio album "Hideaway". From it, their second single went top 20 on the AC charts and was in the last of 4 weeks on the Hot 100 at its #75 peak position. Amber Cascades - America

From the Top LPs chart dated September 9, 1972, here's a bonus track from the #17 album (and climbing!), Van Morrison's St. Dominic's Preview... ...at the time, "Redwood Tree" was receiving a respectable amount of FM airplay www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMT0NVvBnzE

A reet petite pick Pete! You beat me to it. One of my favorite Van Morrison songs. So we'll go with a 70s lost classic from 9/9/72 that received a lot of airplay when I was at college in Denver (reason will become very apparent). Nationally, it spent 8 weeks on the Hot 100 and peaked at #66. It featured early production work from Bill Szymczyk, who would go on to great fame producing the Eagles, B B King, James Gang, Joe Walsh solo, and early J Geils Band among many others. Bye, b-b-bye, b-b-bye... Colorado - Danny Holien
From 9/22/79, this lost 70s classic is one from the heartland. During its 8 week chart run, it peaked at #52. A great tune from their third top 10 album "Monolith". Reason To Be - Kansas
