That is true - hearing everything except for #1 is better than nothing. I would have loved to get the full show but at least I did with the 80's (which I thought I had when someone here helped get the ones I didn't have).
Would any of you have a transcript of whatever Mark Elliott said to introduce the #1 song, and for his end-of-show close-out from 5/13/78? I know they were cut off by KZOI but I'm hoping perhaps that someone might know what Mark said? Thank you in advance if you can help.

This makes me so very happy (to borrow a line from BS&T): May '08 was several months before I knew these replays even existed, and I did not hear this show when originally aired, as I had no AT40 affiliate in my area between June '74 and July '75. So a show I've NEVER heard!

So a show I've NEVER heard! I've never heard it either, since 2008 was before I began listening to the 70s version of the show (and, of course, I didn't even know about the show in 1975, being that I was but three years of age). So yeah, this will be a rare new show for me!

Oh well, on the plus side, it's been run since I adopted my new critique format (such is the case with the 80s show), so I'll be able to post recycled versions of those critiques! The 1975 show, on the other hand, I never made a critique of anywhere, for reasons that I stated in my above post.

5/17/75 had a treasure trove of forgotten hits-One of them was "The Last Farewell" by Roger Whittaker-That was such an awesome song!

I still don't understand 1975 needing a "B"...head-scratcher for sure. I personally love 1978. It wouldn't have caused any *groins* 😂 if not for Mark Elliott's passing.

Yeah this probably wouldn't be a big deal if they hadn't just offered the 5/13/78 Mark Elliott show. Because of that it feels like a lot of 1978, but if you think about it, 1975 is now in the "early 70's" bucket so the B show is going to be something from 1976-79. 1976 would make an odd pairing with '75, and 1977 and '79 have just been played in the past few weeks as A's. That leaves 1978...
