Listening to the 1975 show and I wondered: is the phrase "Sex-O-Lettes" any more or less offensive than "I Want Your Sex" 12 years later? Casey had no problem saying the name of Disc-O-Texx's group multiple times.

I'd forgotten this was one of those weeks in '75 when Elton was moving back *UP* the chart after having fallen as low as #15. As I recall, it was because word got out that his new LP, which had just come out, did not include "Phila. Freedom", so folks rushed out to buy the 45.

"Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy" has the distinction of being the first album to debut at # 1 on the Billboard 200.

I listened to WVWP fm for Jun 18 1977 opt xtras only. And last opt xtra finally played The Emotions - Best of My Love, and mentions The Emotions would be second longest #1 of 1977, behind Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life. I hope im right on it....

Andy Gibb spent four weeks at #1 with "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." It was #1 on 7-30, 8-6, 8-13, and returned on 9-17 (all 77). At that time it was the longest song in the same chart run to return to #1, that being 4 weeks.

WSQL & WTOJ will certainly feature 6/30/73-WPAC will likely play 6/24/78.

He was there for two weeks with "Will It Go Round In Circles", the first of which was taken up with AT40's Disappearing Acts special.

Five years before Dolly Parton hit #1 with "9 To 5" you definitely wanted to be a 9 and not a 5 on 6/14/75. All four songs in chart positions that ended in a 9 went to #1, as #9 and #19 were former #1's and #29 and #39 were future #1's. Conversely all four songs in chart positions that ended with a 5 were peaking.

Let's hope KOKZ (and a few others) play it this time around. Last year, KOKZ and WTOJ opted for 1974 (I think there had been a few 1977 shows bunched together there) and there really weren't any other good options. But yes, very odd they would offer it as a 'B' show two years in a row when it hasn't been an 'A' since 2009. KOKZ opts for the B show 90% of the time when the A show is from 1973 or earlier. KOKZ opts for the B show 10% of the time when the A show is after 1973. KOKZ goes with the top 40 songs from June 14th, 1975. KOZI,WIHG,WPAC & WXXM are likely to air June 18, 1977 this weekend. WQMV,WRTH & WVWP usually airs both shows. Thanks for the heads up -- I think you were right on all stations that aired the '77 show. I've never listened over dth1971's favorite station "WXXM Rewind 92.1 Madison, Wisconsin" until this weekend, but they have a solid stream with high quality audio and it was fairly easy to edit out the commercial breaks. The only negative is that they only play the 3rd hour OE, so I had to get the first two from one of the others (WVWP I think). Pretty good option for future 3-hour 'B' shows though. I listened to WVWP fm for Jun 18 1977 opt xtras only. And last opt xtra finally played The Emotions - Best of My Love, and mentions The Emotions would be second longest #1 of 1977, behind Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life. I hope im right on it.... You were correct -- WXXM played the Emotions extra for the 3rd hour OE, and Larry's intro was exactly as you posted.

6/30/1973 - The week when a former Beatle (George Harrison) replaced another former Beatle (Paul McCartney then with his group Wings) out of the #1 spot. And the following week George was replaced with Billy Preston, the only artist to share label credit with the Beatles on one of their #1 hits ("Get Back".) He was there for two weeks with "Will It Go Round In Circles", the first of which was taken up with AT40's Disappearing Acts special. One thing this week's 70s shows have in common -- each survey features one single that was presented just one time as a current hit. 6/30/73: Time To Get Down - The O'Jays 6/24/78: Dance Across The Floor - Jimmy "Bo" Horne And while the O'Jays song lasted a 2nd week on the Top 40 chart, it was also preempted by the previously mentioned special.

Regarding 1978, sad to think some of the superstars of this show are no longer with us--Andy Gibb, Walter Becker (1/2 Steely Dan), Donna Summer, Meat Loaf and Robert Palmer. This was also several months before the launch of the 4 hour show, and it was sure needed with longer songs out at this time.
