A little music trivia...
Although Creedence Clearwater Revival never reached the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100, their "Looking Out My Back Door" (backed with "Long As I Can See The Light") topped the Record World singles survey on September 26, 1970.

"Old Rivers" by Walter Brennan is one of the featured "AT 40 Specials" on this weekend's A show presentation from 9/26/70-Brennan was one of the busiest character actors in Hollywood-At the time that "Old Rivers" was a hit in 1962,he was the star of a TV series called "The Real Mc Coys"-It was the first rural oriented sitcom to achieve mass popularity-Its success led to similar shows such as "Petticoat Junction" & "Green Acres".

"I Second That Emotion" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles is another "AT 40 Special" from this weekend's A show presentation of 9/26/70-It isn't an OE so I'm assuming it will stay in the broadcast.

That will stay in the broadcast, as will Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's "Your Precious Love", the other extra from the original broadcast that isn't on the optionals list.

I'll go with 10/01/77 over 9/28/74 & 10/02/71 for next weekend. The last time 10/1/77 was the A show was 2016. 1977 has not been featured as an A show since June.

For those select few who, in 1970, had access to Billboard magazine *and* followed AT40’s weekend broadcast, they likely enjoyed Casey’s countdown review using the previous week’s Hot 100. Or perhaps accessing a handwritten listing of the prior chart. This may have been a routine practice for those listeners at the time due, of course, to Watermark’s advance chart production.
Just wondering if anyone will stay true to this set-up, having the 9/19/70 chart in hand this week, following Casey’s introductions to each single without spoiling the effect with a peek at the 9/26/70 survey.

I used my handwritten list. At that time I only listed the top 30 with full annotation (last week's position and weeks on chart), as 30 songs fit exactly on a sheet of college-ruled notebook paper, with a space between 10-11 and 20-21. #s 31-40 I wrote on the back with just the titles/artists and a 'D' if they were debuts.
