I can't understand why Premiere censored "Bad Blood"-Hall & Oates used that same five letter word in their 1977 hit "Rich Girl" & that was played in its entirety. No edits in the Supersized Neil/Elt extra!!

The highlight of "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf was the running commentary by former NY Yankees shortstop turned broadcaster Phil Rizzuto-However,the edited version of the 45 deleted that section.

Instead of playing the B show for this week, WVWP played 8/4/79 in case you missed it eight weeks ago! What happened to that station?

As I listen to AT40: The 70's 8/21/1971 this morning via WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin: In the part where Casey talks about how the weekly Billboard Hot 100 is tabulated (almost every week): 100 record stores are used for the Hot 100 panel at the August 1971 time?? I found it interesting that no stats for airplay were included in the formula. At what point did that change? Here's the story on that score. Casey mentioned 100 record stores and 52 or 54 radio stations, cannot remember which on the first 5 ever shows. It was just those 100 recird stores from the 6th show...the 7th show was the A show last month...until May 1975. At that point, no numbers of stores or stations were mentioned. Casey just said the Hot 100 was based on sales and airplay as he did on virtually every show going forward. This issue is a head scratcher for sure!

1976 should be up as either a standalone or pairing. Usually lasvegaskid gives us the year by sometime on Monday.

With 1977 airing 3 weeks ago & KOKZ history of passing on early 70's shows, 9/17/77 might be the B show. A show could be 9/18/71 or 9/23/72.

No LVK always posts the A show. The 70s series scheduling is bizarre to say the least. That's 2 A shows from 1977 just 3 weeks apart after 3 1974 A shows in a 10 week period. All the while these last 3 months, there have been no A shows from 1972 or 78. One of those years must be the year end show.

I'm seeing on Facebook that 1977 is the B show to 9/23/1972 (last, and only, played in 2017). Noting on the cuesheet for this show is that "Easy Livin'" by Uriah Heep and Leon Russell's "Tight Rope" are swapped 34/39. www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1972-0923.pdf

Interesting as the year end shows are equal to only 2 shows not 3 or 4 as the lightness of airings would suggest.

A 1972/77 pairing makes sense, as 9/23/72 as mentioned has only ever been played once, seven years ago, and 1972 hasn't been played at all since early June. (Which is not the longest ever drought for that year; in 2009, before there were B's, there was no 1972 from early May until December.)
1977 by contrast was played by itself in July and August, the last just three weeks ago, and that's not considering the B's. If there is a choice, KOKZ picked 1977 (and 1982).
Also as mentioned on 9/23/72 #34 and 39 were played in the opposite positions from where they were ranked by Billboard; I'm not sure if that was an AT40 staff error or if Billboard changed the positions before going to press and AT40 couldn't or didn't correct them. The following week's countdown was a special, and on 10/7 "Easy Livin" dropped out of the top 40 after peaking at #39, so Casey had no need to retroactively mention the error.

Incidentally, it dropped to #6 the following week. Then to avenge the top spot--"Best of My Love" returns to #1.

Incidentally, it dropped to #6 the following week. Then to avenge the top spot--"Best of My Love" returns to #1. It's the first of 4 times that a Gibb family #1 gets knocked out by the hit it had knocked out of the #1 position. Happened with "Too Much Heaven" with "Le Freak", "Tragedy" with "I Will Survive" and "Love You Inside Out" with "Hot Stuff". All 4 hits that returned to #1 were not only disco songs but huge disco hits. They ranked 1,4, 6 and 21 on the disco special aired in 1979. And 21 is "Hot Stuff" which was in the middle of its chart run when that aired. It would have been in the top 6 too had that special aired later in the year.
