With a running time of 7:24, it appears that Cashman & West’s “American City Suite” may be 1972’s single with the longest play. Derek & The Dominos’ “Layla”, re-released as a 45 in 1972, clocked in at just over seven minutes, while Harry Chapin’s “Taxi” ran for 6:40. And note that the total running time of Don McLean’s single release of “American Pie” ran more than eight minutes, that recording required both sides of the disc. Another long '72 single was one of this show's two debuts, and went to #1: My Gordy 45 of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" clocks in at 6:58. I own all of the abovementioned lengthy 45s. I was buying a lot of singles that year. Do you own the singles or parent albums for "Roundabout" or "Isn't Life Strange"? The Lp versions of those songs are 8:37 and 6:05, respectively. When I think of the many lengthy hits from 1972, it starts with Yes.

And what Premiere played of it this week calls out for the "supersizing" treatment, if WTOJ is doing that. Yes, it will be supersized.

The 'B' side, also a well-known Yes track, is "Long Distance Runaround". It is only marginally shorter than the 3:33 LP version, at 3:15.

WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing this Saturday morning for AT40: the 70's...the A show of 10/28/1972 (with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin).
Get ready next weekend if WXXM goes all Christmas music for 2 months with Christmas AT40 shows if possible...

WPAC did 1979, as expected. Also as expected, the 4-hour version that is only up today appears to have cut off the end of the show. However the 3-hour version, which will be up all week, looks like it got it all so I would recommend listening to Hour 1, including the OE, on the "Storm Kennedy Mornings" podcast and then switching to the "American Top 40: The 70's" podcast for the rest of the show.

A bizarre stat from 10/27/79: From #40 to #7, only 7 of the songs made the top 5, and every one of those hit #1.

Error of the week: Casey intro'ed Papa/Rolling Stone as "our 2nd debut of the week", but it was actually the first; Harold Melvin was yet to come. Ooops.
