This week's optional extras:
February 6, 1971:
Hour #1: "My Love" - Petula Clark (NR--#1 that week in 1966) Hour #2: "What Is Life" - George Harrison (NR) Hour #3: "I Wanna Be Around" - Tony Bennett (original AT40 extra)
Extras by Dean Martin ("Memories Are Made of This") and Donovan ("Sunshine Superman") stay in the show. Deleted was George Harrison's "Apple Scruffs", a cut from that week's #1 album "All Things Must Pass"; apparently it was replaced here by the better-known "What Is Life".
February 9, 1974:
Hour #1: "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles (original AT40 extra) Hour #2: "Sunshine On My Shoulders" - John Denver (#51) Hour #3: "She's Gone" - Daryl Hall & John Oates (#96; debuted)
Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips", an extra from the original broadcast, stays in place. This is one of the relatively few shows from about fall 1972 to fall 1975 that originally featured non-countdown extras, probably to make up for the fact that Casey only played one of the two charting versions of "The Americans".

All 3 of the extras from the '71 countdown are voiced by Casey.

Interesting that they decided to change around the extras so much, especially the George Harrison cut; "Apple Scruffs" was played as an OE the last time this show aired in 2012. Back then, Tom Jones' "She's a Lady" (voiced by Larry Morgan) was the 3rd hour extra after "Sunshine Superman" (1st Hour) and "Apple Scruffs" (2nd Hour). So it looks like the Petula Clark cut will be a manufactured Casey-voiced extra, and Tony Bennett and Donovan switch places.

I got bits and pieces of the 1977 show on KLFM due to a long phone conversation, but I caught the Ace Frehley electrocution story in which would become an inspiration to the Kiss song "Shock Me" off of the Love Gun album released later on in 1977. I missed that, but I do recall Casey doing a story on Bette Midler being electrocuted.

At the close of the 2/9/74 show,Casey mentioned that he was on the Dean Martin celebrity roast-He was dressed up as Adolph Hitler-I believe there's a video of that on You Tube.

I don't care for it, but I can understand it.

That week's AT40 cue sheet mentions that as well as a Casey appearance on "Hawaii Five-O" the following week, in which he played "the part of a heavy in ... of all things . .. the broadcasting business". In June 1974 Casey went to Hawaii to film a part in another H5O episode, and to accommodate his schedule AT40 had to "guess" the chart for 6/29/74 since Billboard didn't have theirs ready before his departure.

No guesses for the 70s next week? I'd guess either 2/14/76 or 2/18/78; those shows haven't been standalones in at least five years and those are the calendar years that haven't been aired in longest with shows from that week that can be played this year. I might have chosen 2/16/74 if we didn't have a 1974 B this week, or 2/17/79 if it hadn't been played just last year.

Prediction for next week's show: 1st Guess - 2/10/79 2nd Guess - 2/18/78 Should be either of these years or 1976...but this is the 70's series, where just about anything can happen.

So 2-14-76 could work,'79 would be good too.
