Hi Shannon,
First off - great job in the remastering you do of 70's and 80's shows.
I want to ask a question for clarification - you said the 3rd segment of the second show is not known to exist and appears forever lost - are you talking about a master recording or just any recording?
I ask because I know of someone with an incredible collection of the AT40 40's shows - and he told me today that he does have the 3rd segment of the second show. I'm not talking about a master, I believe it was recorded off the air.
Tim

Tim, I know there is a "fake version" where someone has re-edited Casey's words to make a fake hour 3... Thats not what he has is it?

^If it was recorded off the air, it's not going to be the fake version.

Well at least one network is going to play tribute to Donna Summer and Robin Gibb. And they also played tribute to the late Don Cornelius when they played the 4/27/74 show. Meanwhile, nearly 2 years into playing shows from 1979 and Premiere has yet to play a show with either of the #1 songs of the year ("My Sharona" according to Billboard and "Hot Stuff" according to Fred Bronson in his Hot 100 books) at #1. Whatever!

This Week's Show: June 16, 1979 OMG, that could mean that a 1979 is next by Premiere, in the final of the month. I am still nervous with last 1979 show from April.

Sorry - of course meant - AT40 70'S. Tim Tim, Would you mind having your friend contact me? Since you mentioned he recorded it "off-air" that would have to make it original. I created a fake Hour 3 years ago that many have thought to be the real deal. It was poorly edited, at best, when ?I did it from multiple sources. I could do a lot better one now lol. My email address is charismusicgroup@aol.com Thanks! Shannon

^Apparently the master reel holding the 3rd hour of the 2nd show is lost. When the program was originally distributed to stations (all 7? or were there 8? or 10?), the stations were required to return the reel tapes to Watermark. They each paid a deposit to Watermark, as part of their program agreement, to insure the reels were sent back each week. The tapes were then bulk erased and recycled for future use.
The closest way (and perhaps the only way) we'll likely get to hear this complete show (chart date July 18, 1970) may be an off-air recording.

Given that arrangement, it's notable that any early shows are replayed at all. Credit should go to those farsighted enough to make reproductions. I'd think that if anyone has an original copy of the missing hour in their basement, it would be Casey Kasem, Don Bustany, or Tom Rounds, and if they did they'd have donated it for remastering and replay by now.

It was my understanding, Pete, that there were thought to be 7, but there were actually 8, but I can't remember just now where I saw that version of the story. Wikipedia?

Prior to the release of Rob's book in 1999, I was convinced that there was at least one other radio station (in Albany, NY) that broadcasted the first program. I believe it was an article that I read in Billboard that led me to that conclusion. (I had my doubts about the Las Vegas market being considered a part of the first group of 7 stations too.) However, Rob's research is more convincing and I have since altered my reasoning.

Well, I look now at Wikipedia, and I see that in fact we say 7 stations... don't know where I got that other bit, but I'll flush it.

That's like kissing someone while putting a knife in their back! You do a special tribute to Donna Summer and Robin Gibb by playing this show but you edit out last week's top 3 songs which was the only way you could get "Love You Inside Out" at #1. Yeah morons rule at SXM!

Yeah morons rule at SXM! Thank goodness I stopped listening to them. My work used to play this station on Saturdays but they switched to a jazz station. It was bad listening to the regular Casey 1979 intro then to immediately hear the AT40 jingle followed by Cher's "Take Me Home" at #40.
