Pardon my stretch to the Premiere broadcasts, but anyone know stations that will broadcast the entire 4 hours of this weekend's 1979 show? Best bet is WODC in Columbus OH. They'll air the entire four-hour show beginning at 8AM Sunday morning.

Thanks for the WODC advice - if anyone knows another station please post, always good to have a backup for those of us recording.
Also, guess everuone knows Premiere is going to air the Dick Clark guest host episode (03/25/72). WBBG in Youngstown-Warren, OH has posted:
An Oldies 106.1 salute to the late Dick Clark as we bring you a special American Top 40 from March of 1972 when Dick Clark sat in for Casey. Special times added, Saturday 3-6pm and Sunday 4-7pm.
And WODC says they will air on Sunday, May 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

The #1 song in this show is "TSOP", the Soul Train theme so SXM may have played this show as a tribute to the late Don Cornelius. In which case, both Don and Dick Clark are being paid tribute to this weekend and deservedly so. If so, Don Cornelius deserves a better tribute than the poor sound quality of this weekend's 1974 SXM broadcast. In February they played another 1974 countdown that also sounded awful; both Casey and the records often sounded muffled or like they were broadcasting under water.

Yeah, I gotta say I was quite annoyed with the crappy fidelity of this week's SXM show. You can bet that if Premiere were to rerun that same show, it would sound considerably better. SXM continues to degrade in overall quality of service since the merger--IMO a product of the fact that they are now a monopoly on the satellite radio industry...no competition means no motivation to improve the product to any significant degree.

And how about coming in at the end of a story we assume was about Marvin Hamlisch - the youngest pupil they ever had - and going into The Entertainter. Huh? Who? What school?

Either my signal is screwy or this weeks show has some weird edits. So far during Shout It Out Loud, I Do I Do I Do I Do, Silly Love Songs and Show Me The Way it has sounded with like a skip or a really bad edit. Shout It Out Loud sounded like a line was repeated that isn't normally. Silly Love Songs sounded like two lines were closer than they should have been. Show Me The Way had a clearly hacked edit during a guitar solo.

No, they played "Shannon" and "Get Up And Boogie" (#14 and #13). I heard the end of the show yesterday and the theme song at the end played more than halfway through the next song after the end of the show. Totally unrelated to the glitches of this weeks's show, I thought the story Casey told about Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" was interesting. It's interesting because although the story is correct, the song has nothing to do with that story. Stevie got the name from a book called "Triad" about the supernatural, one of the main characters is named Rhiannon. Only after she wrote and released the song did she learn about the mythology of Rhiannon (which she later wrote additional songs about).

Here is the intro that apparently was edited out. "Now I have the hit by the artist who chose his career when he was six and half years old. That's when he started studying at Juilliard, the world famous school of music in New York. The youngest pupil they ever had. He moves to #18 with "The Entertainer". Here's Marvin Hamblisch."

I wonder why EWF's "Can't Hide Love" only peaked at # 39. I thought it was more popular. That is my favorite all time EWF song!!! Too bad it only spent 2 weeks in the Top 40. And they still play it a lot on the soul stations I listen to.

Did they play the full shuckatune at the end of the replay this morning? Yesterday they did play it but oddly they played it with Gallery's "I Believe In Music" going at the same time. Couldn't get away from Gallery this week because KLOU played "It's So Nice To Be With You" before AT40 began and of course heard the same song later in the countdown.

No they cut the theme song ending very short so it didn't play into the next song, not at all like yesterday.

Here's the cue sheet: www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/05-12-79.pdfThis should be a complete, unedited countdown, as there are no songs in it from before the 1970s (not that such songs should be edited out anyway.) There should even be a story that some listeners didn't get to hear in 1979 (about disco "saving" NY.)

This is a really great show. I already have it so looks like I can take a break from SXM this week...especially since they're cutting the top 3 recap these days.
