KOKZ going w/butchered 1978 KOKZ skipped the 3rd Jimmy Buffet OE. I heard it on WPNC and it seemed to be a Casey-voiced extra taken from another show - not a normal Larry-voiced tribute. Last week Jimmy's "Fins" was introed with a Casey story about Jimmy Buffett and Glenn Frey retreating to an island for some solitude only to find themselves and their music recognized by the island's residents. I wonder if the same story was used this week? There should at least have been some acknowledgement from Larry of Jimmy's passing, especially as "Cheeseburger In Paradise" (unlike "Fins") was not on or moving up the chart on the date featured.

The extra was Casey's intro from 5/27/78... no big voice guy. WXXM actually played the extra.

"Headmaster" was subsequently cancelled by CBS due to low ratings-In early 1971,CBS presented "The New Andy Griffith Show"-They were hoping that viewers would make this show as popular as the original "Andy Griffith Show"-Lightning didn't strike twice & the show was off the network within a few weeks. "Headmaster"--13 episodes, September 1970 to January 1971, re-run in summer '71. "The New Andy Griffith Show"--10 episodes, January to May 1971. Both CBS. "New Andy" debuted the week after "Headmaster"s last original episode aired, in the same Friday 8:30-9:00ET time slot. Doubt if either has ever shown up on any form of home video. Griffith would have to wait until 1986 for another hit TV series, when "Matlock" debuted for a nine-season run, 6 on NBC followed by 3 more on ABC. That was one more season than he had spent as Sherriff Andy Taylor on CBS from 1960 to 1968. ...and, who would've guessed, there's a "Matlock 'reboot' in the works. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Check out the pilot episode of The New Andy Griffith Sow… youtu.be/XOo9s_jEdE8?si=G-rT4-n8ThTWoR07

Listening to the 1970 show on WVWP, H1S1 started right with the AT40 theme instead of the Larry Morgan intro. Aberration, station goof-up, or is that how it got sent out? Same on the station I listened to this morning. Me too. KPPT "The Otter" on the Oregon coast.

<<<<< Fingers crossed WTOJ's 1977 will be.... Supersized, of course! Hope WTOJ's Supersized version of 10/1/1977 will feature either the single version of 6 minute album version of Barry White's "It's Esctasy When You Lay Down Next To Me" rather than the butchered 1 minute 30 second version that has been featured in past AT40: The 70's 10/1/1977 playings.

WTOJ usually puts in the radio-promoted single versions. The original single edit of "It's Ecstasy" lasted for three and a half minutes, so they'll probably play that and not the nearly 7 minute album version, which would probably have been too long for AT40 even if it were four hours by then. Still, that's at least twice as much as will be played elsewhere.

It would also be nice if the album version of "Another Star" by Stevie Wonder is featured! Also, this show is the infamous biggest drop from #2 when the Floaters "Float On" dropped from #2 to 19. I think that pretty much held until the digital age.

These will all be reused. “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” was an extra in the original show, having been #1 five years ago that week (its second of three weeks on top of the chart, in which a special countdown was aired.)

More Top 40 ‘bookend’ chart trivia…
On Record World’s singles survey for October 1, 1977, the London Symphony Orchestra’s “Star Wars Theme” fell to #40 as Meco’s “Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band” climbed from #4 to #1.

Never cared much for Meco's rendition of the "Star Wars" theme.

Never cared much for Meco's rendition of the "Star Wars" theme. You had to be there, I guess. It definitely screams '1977!!!' ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Bought the 45.

If I'm not mistaken, the 10/1/77 show features Casey claiming in the final show credits that the countdown was from 9/24/77!
