Maybe the first AT40 from July 4, 1970 with the July 11, 1970 Billboard chart as the A show with maybe July 9, 1977 as the B show?

I think the Top 40 Acts of the 1970s would be the "B", so I am thinking it might be 1977 as the "A"?

Once again, the only AT40: The 70's show played with the rare C.J. and Company "Devil's Gun" in it, 7/16/1977 was the song's second week but Bruce Phillip Miller guest hosted.

I always thought the original "Star Wars" theme by John Williams was way better than that awful rendition by Meco which went to # 1 in the fall of 1977.

And yet "Devil's Gun" stayed on the Hot 100 for 29 weeks, enough to (barely) make the Billboard Top 100 of the year despite only peaking at #36. AT40, however, compiled its own year end chart in 1977.

AT40, however, compiled its own year end chart in 1977. The "C" in C J & Company was Dennis Coffey. He had charted in the Top 40 twice in the early 70s with the Detroit Guitar band on the instrumentals "Scorpio" and "Taurus". He was also a member of Motown's Funk Brothers in the mid to late 60s.

WABO in Waynesboro, MS, which I listened to for the first time ever only because I had missed all the earlier airings of 1974, apparently knew how much I hate "You And Me Against The World" because they played "Fame" from the 1975 show that aired last week as the Hour 3 OE instead

I always thought the original "Star Wars" theme by John Williams was way better than that awful rendition by Meco which went to # 1 in the fall of 1977. One was better for slanted title sequences fading into the distance, the other was better for disco dancing. I loved Meco's movie songs! The best part of the Star Wars version is the kickin' cantina band sequence. Not just the cool horns, but that rest part beforehand where the sounds of the bar comes up and the weird noises of the weird patrons are heard... you can hear it in your head, can't you? Just like the "goodbye" at the end of Close Encounters, it steals the show.

WPNC now airing Jun 30, 1979. For some reason, the show started around 15 or 20 minutes early. They did? At 11:55AM I heard Gonzo Gates signing off from his show. In any event, WPNC replays the show Tuesday night at Midnight (12AM-4AM Wednesday) Replay is already at #36. Not quite midnight.

AT40, however, compiled its own year end chart in 1977. How I wish Ken Martin made an AT40 Top 100 of 1977 with Casey bits and using the Billboard year end chart source that used "Devil's Gun" in it. (Ken could even do Billboard year enders for 1980-1984 using the Billboard year end chart version using Casey bits as well, Ken did one for the top 80 of 1973 that used the Billboard 1973 year end chart used on WTOJ back at the end of 2016)
