IIRC,the late Jim Bohannon frequently filled in for Larry King when the latter had his old late night show on Mutual Broadcasting.

IIRC,the late Jim Bohannon frequently filled in for Larry King when the latter had his old late night show on Mutual Radio. One of Bohannon's frequent guests was Mighty John Marshall of MoneyMusic.com. They would discuss the value of old records. 45s,LP's and even 78's.

Wonder if this means Premiere will muck up the show with their recent wacky editing...it shouldn't have to happen with the 4-hour 1978-79 shows, but they somehow managed to do it to the 12/22/79 show back in December. I listened to the first two hours on WSQL last evening and it was pretty mucked up, starting with the first AT40 commercial break which had been fused into an intro to #40 by deleting commentary and inserting commentary in its place (copied from somewhere else). The "editor" even inserted a "Number 40" jingle before #40 even though this is one of the rare shows that had no #40 jingle before #40 was introduced. Then it went down hill from there. It sounds like there's a real appreciation for the original format of AT40, which is fantastic to see. For those who have access to the original shows and prefer the unedited experience, that's a great way to relive those moments exactly as they were. It's all about enjoying Casey Kasem's iconic countdown in the way that brings you the most joy. The edits are there to adapt the show to current formats while trying to maintain the essence of what made AT40 special. Either way, the magic of the countdown lives on.

Casey noted in the 1979 show that to that point five of seven days of the week had been represented in top 40 hits, with the exceptions of Wednesday and Thursday. (Though he didn't mention that a group called Wednesday hit AT40 in 1974 with a remake of "Last Kiss".) I can think of at least one later chart hit mentioning the midweek day, that being "Waiting For Wednesday" by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories, which made CT40 in 1996. Are there other, post-1979 songs naming Wed/Thurs?

I accidentally missed first opt xtra, but I will look forward for next opt xtras for 1972 show..
I couldn't remember back in 2018 if I listened opt xtras....
I think back in 2016 I listened 1972, maybe without opt xtras. These all opt xtras, like archived songs voiced by Casey Kasem.

It definitely was a new edit by Premiere as I have a Premiere copy of this show from 5 or 6 years ago and there is no "Number 40" jingle on that recording I have.
