Does anyone know the featured countdown for this week? June 1, 1974, unless they change it in the next 13 hours.

This weeks show is particularly scratchy, you can hear lots of pops and scratches from the record. You'd think it would been cleaned up better. I don't mind the scratches, but usually they sound a lot cleaner. And just as I posted this, Cat Stevens' Oh Very Young skipped!

I have noticed that too. I thought all the shows were remastered and that SXM got their shows from Premiere. So this type of thing is not easily explained.
I also just noticed in the intro to the O'Jays, instead of playing the record underneath the voice track, they chose filler music and then when Casey finished, they started the record. Strange that they did not have him talk over the song.
And that skip you referenced is the second I have heard in this show. There was one in the 30s.

Right now during The Entertainer it sounds like the needle really needs to be cleaned off! Whoever recorded this did a really bad job.

This seems to be a characteristic of SXM's recent 1974 AT40s, for some reason. They all seem to have skips, scratches, muffled sound, etc. at some point. It seems particularly bad since lately they've overplayed that year in relation to the others (this week's is the fourth 1974 in as many months), and yet no other year's countdowns have the same poor sound quality.

I agree ,very poor and cheap quality,undeserving of the people that subscribe and keep their business going.I am willing to give them a few more tries believing that they read this forum but if it keeps like this then I am done with them. This is like the 3rd 74 with such a terrible quality,that I can remember,the last one I recorded fron KQQL in May was good quality ,why can't they do the same?.

Did they mention the exact date or just the year, MKarns? Following SXM's pattern, if they mentioned just the year, wouldn't it be 6/5/71?

I would lean toward 6/5/71 being played. 6/12/71 was played in 2010 and SXM has yet to play a show this year that was aired in either 2010 or 2011.

I'm pretty sure then that it will be 6/5/71. They never play the show after the weekend date.

We do need to remember, the early shows were all on tape and vinyl they were burned to can fade...1972 was 40 years ago.

Except these shows were from 1974. I have vinyl records from the '60's that sound better than what was aired.

And I have some 1970 shows from Charis that sound, while a little lacking in top end, otherwise airably clean. So it is, as skuncle suggests, not impossible that they could sound better than I gather they do...
