Yeah, but they started off with the April 14, 1973 show. So I guess they had the year wrong. Perhaps KQLL just messed up to save face?

KQLL announced that it was playing the countdown from 4/14/73, and they played the first four songs (#40 - 37, all debuts), and Casey said he was getting ready to play a song by an artist whose name had been featured in a hit by CSN (Suite Judy Blue Eyes). Judy Collins' song would have been #35 in the 14 April countdown.
After KQLL played #37, they cut to a series of commercials. When the show came back on, it was then playing the AT40 special from 6 July 74.
I thought only XM made editing errors like that !!!

Actually I'm hearing the Top 40 Acts of the '70s show from 7/6/1974 (one year off). The board operator must have put on the wrong show, realized his mistake sometime into it, and then put on the 7/6/74 show roughly in the same spot, because it certainly didn't start from the beginning. Drat! I had the 73 show, but not this 74 special. Oh well... |

KQLL's airing of Nov 14, 1981 just skipped from playing "Suspicious Minds" (AT40 Archive) to playing #2 ("Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones). It skipped #11 through #3. What is up with all these on-line glitches?  OK, now (after the show ended), the countdown is resuming at #11. Who masters these re-runs? Is it that hard to play them in order? |

I'm so glad I didn't go near this "marathon". Sounds like a marathon of goof-ups.

Hmm, that's weird. Well, I wasn't listening to the November 1981 show since I'd heard it already. I just listened to the beginning long enough to catch the date of the show (though I was pretty sure it would be one that they'd run already).
The last show, of course, was the May 6, 1978 show.
