It appears that this weekend's show is from November 4, 1972, which last aired in 2015 as a "B" show. Along with a Christmas program from Premiere for November 2-3. And any station that doesn't like early 70's and hasn't gone all Christmas yet likely playing a random show from their archives. |

This weekend the station is likely to air 11/5/77 at 5 pm Saturday based on the random show that WQMV played last week. WQMV airs the Christmas shows after Thanksgiving. |

'72 show starting on WSQL. Stream still isn't very good. Sounds worse than last week.

The highest of the seven debuts this week, which won't be heard until early in hour 2, is a real 1972 'period piece'.
Also, five of the seven songs that fell off of the 40 fell all the way off of the Hot 100. That was getting rare by this point in time.
"Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me" fell all way off of the 100 from #21.
The other four were:
"You Wear It Well" (from 29)
"Go All the Way" (33)
"Speak To the Sky" (37)
"Backstabbers" (40)
"From the Beginning" and "Get On the Good Foot" each spent one more week on the 100, falling to 42 and 43.

...and a similarity to the 80s show in that a hit tied in with the upcoming election debuted(both this year and in the 2 years of the show though 1985 was not a presidential election year). It was "Election Day" in 1985. Then there's also "Elected" in this show for a total of 3 hits tied in with elections in the 2 shows. Wracking my brain to find any such songs in the other years that Premiere presents.

Looks like mga707 was looking at the Hot 100. One other note about it is that the Band's hit is titled "Baby Don't You do it". But in both Casey's announcing and the cue sheet, it is listed as ""Don't do it". Also the first of 2 live hits in the show. I wondered during last week's 8us show when there were 2 live hits when that had also happened in AT40 history. Got part of the answer a few days later!

Didn't have to check the chart to come up with the other live recording.  Whitburn also lists the Band's live single as simply "Don't Do It". |

Quite a show with the long versions of not 1 but 2 songs...""American City Suite" and "Nights in White Satin". Now playing 2 long versions of songs that are only a minute or so longer as happened with "Freddie's Dead" on the last 1972 show is one thing. But the long versions of those 2 songs are a lot more than a minute longer. This is the only AT40 in which that happened. Hearing this show for the second time ever and except for maybe hearing it on YouTube once or twice, these are the only times I have heard the long version of Suite. Enjoyed it.
Now this was a professionally done show as they all were by Casey. But I counted 7 or 8 songs which were cut off to make room for those long versions. Didn't think that was too good. This seems to be the first time they ever had to cutoff or edit songs as it was not necessary previously. Later on they would get more creative and professional by editing out verses as happened in last weeks 1976 show. Bottom line, they should have played one of the long versions and played the other one the next week. This was the only time either song's long version was played too.

I'll go with 11/10/79 for next weekend. The only time 11/10/79 was featured by Premiere was in 2013.
1979 was last the "A" show in August.

And this wasn't the longest version of "American City Suite". The 45 ran for 7:45, but the album version lasted nearly eleven minutes. At least Premiere apparently didn't cut it down this week as they sometimes have before. Unfortunately, we probably won't get a supersized version of this show from WTOJ as tomorrow they start their Christmas programming. But if you're looking for the holiday show then they should play it. |

AT40 Trivia from November 1972…
Breaking news at Watermark included a move underway to new production studios, after two and a half years in the original facility. The change enabled the staff to produce AT40 in stereo, which began four months later. In fact, a full-page advertisement announcing “Soon…Stereo” appeared in Billboard a few weeks earlier.
The studio move came about following a July 1972 announcement that AT40 was added at Chicago’s WCFL, a Top 40 powerhouse at the time. For Watermark, this news validated ‘American Top 40’ as a viable weekend program for many other Top 40 outlets, large and small, as evidenced by a November ’72 Billboard article proclaiming 26 new affiliates. And with the radio industry witnessing a transition of the Top 40 format from AM to FM, Watermark responded with AT40 broadcasts in stereo.

While the songs debuted in stereo on AT40 in the 2/24/1973 program, the stereo jingles didn't come along until 8/25/1979. (ACC's debuted on 4/5/1980.) "Shuckatoom" was the first theme in stereo, first heard at the very end of 10/11/1975, and began its run as an opneing theme on 11/8/1975. (It was also included after the close of the 10/4/1975 special, but that was in mono.)
And now (pan L-R), on with the countdown...
