On AT40:The 70's 2/26/1972: For the #38 song by James Brown - "Talking Loud, Saying Proud" - Casey said it was the second debut of the week when that song was the first debut of the week! "Talking Loud and Saying Nothing (Part 1)" is the title of what was indeed this show's first debut at #38. I couldn't figure out the title right anyway.

As mentioned before, KOKZ chose 1972 this week, which is somewhat surprising (they've often gone with B's from later.) But good that they did as they haven't botched it up as some other stations that I listen to during the same time (10 AM-1 PM) have: WZON skipped segments, and WKVA is playing 2/2/74 yet again. On the other hand, KQEL, which has no history prior to this year of airing B shows, is going with 1976 tomorrow.

In 1972, all opt xtras voiced by Casey Kasem instead of Larry Morgan.. That included “I’m a Believer”, an extra in the original 2/26/72 show, which Casey said was “#1 five years ago”. Actually that was a couple of weeks late, according to the Billboard Hot 100. On 2/25/67 (the closest “five years ago” chart) the Buckinghams’ “Kind of a Drag” was #1 for the second week.

I hope it's 1975.

1975 is definitely way overdue!

This weekend's shows features songs by Electric Light Orchestra from the beginning and end of their American Top 40 career between 1975-1986 with "Can't Get It Out of My Head" & "Calling America" respectively.

Perhaps 3/5/77 is the B show.

This week's optional extras:
A: March 1, 1975:
Hour #1: "Amie" - Pure Prairie League (#96; debuted) Hour #2: "They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)" - The Spinners (NR) Hour #3: "Killer Queen" - Queen (#79)
The Spinners' song is probably there to honour group member Henry Fambrough, who died recently. It replaces "Before the Next Teardrop Falls".
B: March 5, 1977:
Hour #1: "Silver Springs" - Fleetwood Mac (NR; B-side of "Go Your Own Way" that was left off Rumours, but remains a fan favourite) Hour #2: "When I Need You" - Leo Sayer (#70) Hour #3: "Let's Stay Together" - Al Green (original AT40 extra)

As for the 3/5/1977 B show - "Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac made the CHR top 40 of R&R (used for Casey's Top 40, months before the second Casey AT40 era started) in a live version back in October 1997.

Although WPNC tends to go with a latter-70's B show when given a choice, when it comes to a choice of 1975(A) and a 1977(B), they've tended to go with 1975. We'll see if that trend continues.
