Unless Sirius XM breaks out the Bumper Morgan show from 1979, it looks like the April 1, 1972 show will air this weekend. I think the show would have been from April 2, 1977, had it not been a recent "Wheel of Casey" show. Did they say the show was from 1972? Usually they don't do the same year as Premiere's A. How about April 3, 1976? Unlike many other early Aprils in the 1970s there wasn't a special that week, and 1976 hasn't been the weekend show since January.

This is one of the weeks where the options are limited. Consider: 1973, 1974, 1975 & 1978 are specials. 1971 & 1976 aired the last 2 years. There has not been any announcement yet. It still could be 4/2/77, but SXM aired it 4 months ago. The 4/7/79 show would be interesting. April 3, 1976 was last years' show.

I'd have ruled out 4/7/79 until less than a year ago, but since lately they've been willing to play guest hosted shows without some special reason to do so that would be an interesting choice indeed. I've never heard it start to finish. Arguably there's no obvious choice here between the specials (all of which have too much pre-70s music to be played here), shows aired in the last few months or couple of years, Premiere duplicate years, years featured in just the last few weeks, and a guest hosted show.
I liked how last night's 1974 show left in the listener questions including one about "whatever happened to Brenda Lee". Nearly 50 years later she's still active and just a few months ago returned to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the now-annually recharting "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".

Apr. 6-7, 2024: Now let’s go back to this week in 1972 - Randy Bachman - April 1, 1972 Chart songs you'll hear on this show that you won't hear on Premiere's show from the following week: 28: Runnin' Away--Sly & the Family Stone 33: Hurting Each Other--Carpenters (fell out of the Hot 100 from this position) 34: Glory Bound--Grass Roots (peak position) 37: Could It Be Forever--David Cassidy (peak position) 38: No One To Depend On--Santana All in the first hour. One 'oldie' plated that may or may not remain in Sirius-XM's sometimes edited rebroadcast: Connie Francis' 'Don't Break the Heart That Loves You'.

They left in “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” two weeks ago, though. But last week somebody definitely did B. J. Thomas wrong.

They left in “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” two weeks ago, though. But last week somebody definitely did B. J. Thomas wrong. Interesting. So maybe it is not because it was B.J., but possibly because both the '71 and '72 Thomas singles that were skipped were on Scepter Records? Maybe a performance rights issue with that label? His '75 #1 hit with the long title that wasn't skipped was on ABC (MCA). I know, it's most likely just a random coincidence. "R&R Lullaby" was played on the Premiere '72 show which was from the week after Sirius-XM's show.

The remastered shows are broken down to individual tracks, every song is its own track. In both cases the BJ song was originally played just after or before a break. Whoever did the editing wasn’t paying attention and instead of cutting the intro or outro to the song, they cut the whole song.

Wasn't expecting or exactly pining for more 1971 just four weeks after the last show from that year, but this week they at least got the presentation right: five extras (all but one pre-70s) were all left in, unlike last week's show when not only the one extra but (by mistake?) a charting song was cut.
