Ah, if only once during its chart run that ended with this week's show had AT40 thrown caution to the wind and played the full, far more, er, 'sensual' LP version of "Miracles"...

Yep 100% agreement on that. When I first encountered you pizzzzza on this baord, my name here was dukedeb named for my 2 cats. Neither is still alive which is partly why I changed my name when one of them died. Anyway, Casey was still around back then too in the early 2010s. Anyway, no 70s show to comment on since I am hearing a 90s CT40 that Casey is obviously doing. Hard to believe we are 6 months and a week away from it being 10 years since he left us. I think also when we first met on this board MANY years ago was the 'birth' of the AT 40 Stations 70s and 80s list...if memory serves me correctly? LOL A list ladies and gentlemen that pizzzzza was the author of. I accessed that list many times. So another thank you for doing that!

And so glad that the AT 40 Stations lists have been continued over all these years for everyone! I thank this board and it's contributors/authors for that....

Three songs in this '75 show with fairly 'brutal' 45 edits. Besides the aforementioned "Lyin' Eyes" (45 edit cuts out a big chunk of the whole 'cheatin' storyline) and "Miracles" (45 edit turns the song from 'PG-14' to 'G'-rated), there the next song coming up: "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" (no drug references in the 45 edit).

I'll go with 12/19/70 over 12/15/79 & 12/12/70 for next weekend. 12/19/70 was last aired by Premiere in 2014. The 1979 show last aired in 2015. 12/12/70 was last aired in 2013. 1970 was last featured in September.

Premiere should never have deleted the offensive word from "Bad Blood"-It wasn't necessary. Yet exactly a year before that--The B***h Is Back was in the Top 5. No deletion of the word there. Go figure! Compared to today's so called music when "F" is in so many songs, SMH

Now that 2023 is drawing to a close,we're due for a final 1970 show-I'm inclined to think that 12/19/70 will be featured next weekend.

I'm hoping that we hear the 12/22/1979 show this year - that show is the only one with the first hour yet to be featured.

In 1975 show, snippet played by Martha and the Vandellas - Heat Wave before Linda Ronstadt's version played.
8 british acts
i accidentally missed whole WPNC, because I was busy. So I listened WVWP, but little of buffer or something.. I started with opt xtra 1 til the end.
Interesting, mono to stereo, and even in the end, when Casey outroed the show, they then play Shuckatoom theme

If it's 12-12-70, #1 is the only chart topper for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

The countdown featured Elton John's Top 40 debut one notch behind Aretha Franklin's cover of Elton's Hot 100 debut.
