Seemed to me that, during 3/04/72, Casey played an EP recording of "Jungle Fever" by the Chakachas. I had never heard the moaning sounds continue for about five minutes total time before.

For those who don't know or remember, this is the "whoops, we played three songs in the wrong positions" show. (Billboard made some last minute chart changes and there apparently wasn't time to rerecord the segments, so Casey had to announce the revised positions retroactively.)

I knew that SXM edited the shows for any pre70's songs and would drop stories here and there, but until this morning I didn't realize how butchered the shows were. I wasn't going to listen to this weekends show (March 12, 1977) because I have a recording from the original lp. I decided to listen to the two side by side basically though and see what the difference is. I've only had to listen to the first half hour to hear the difference. The most glaring is the cutting of the Cat Stevens story during the intro to Rod Stewarts "The First Cut Is The Deepest". Ok, so a snippet of Cats version was played, that would be easy enough to cut out (although I still don't understand WHY they do any edits) but instead the whole Cat Stevens reference was cut. This left Casey intro-ing Rod's song by saying "Here is Cats fellow countryman Rod Stewart...." Leaving the listener to wonder "who the hell is Cat?" I've always defended SXM saying the edits weren't that bad for the most part. I was wrong. These edits are a butchering. At this point I don't understand why they bother even playing the shows.

Which is why I was surprised they left in the whole story on the evolution of the Hot 100 Soul Singles chart.

Finally 1976! We haven't had a non-year-end-countdown from '76 since last August!

Third show from 1978 so far ... A bit overdone, IMHO. Although the first one (1/14/78) was essentially late 1977 with a few new entries.

It's been longest since they did 1971 or 1974, so maybe one of those will be next. Until this weekend it had been longest since 1979 was aired (about two and a half months.) This week's 1979 show was thankfully the complete countdown, with all four hours and no extras cut, as none of them predated the 70s.

The 1974 shows for some odd reason always sound really bad. Always sound like they found an old copy in someone's attic, slapped it on a turntable and recorded it.

Indeed the 1974 shows tend to be of poor quality - lot pops and tape fades. Prime example is the 04.27.74 show Sirius did couple years ago that thankfully Premiere is airing this weekend.

This week's presentation is from April 22, 1972. Casey must have been a registered democrat voter (as were the majority in the entertainment industry), as he urged young citizens several times during the show that, "unless you like things as they are, get out and register to vote".
