KLFM went with the Christmas show this week,for anyone who wanted to know. Yes, was mildly surprised to hear that. Expected the 'AT30' version of the '78 show. |

And while the songs aren't "lost", that first hour has the rather unique occurrence of a newlywed husband and wife, they of course being James Taylor and Carly Simon, each debuting with a solo hit. Carly has said it was a weird start to their marriage to have her song do so much better than his. She modestly said his song was better (I like both, but I'd say hers was a more striking record). |

Does anyone know why WPAC is not currently streaming?

I've always liked "You're So Vain"-The fact that Carly Simon had Mick Jagger sing background vocals makes the song truly memorable.

Does anyone know why WPAC is not currently streaming? I don't know-they still have the 1974 show from a couple weeks back. This sucks. I guess we have 3 options left. WPNC and WSQL this afternoon and WTOJ tomorrow morning. |

^I assume those are all stations that should theoretically play the four-hour 1978 show?

AT40 staff gave Casey some bad info on the '78 show: "Gentle On My Mind" was not Glen Campbell's first top 40 record in 1968, as he stated. It was actually his fourth top 40 appearance, reaching #39 in the fall of that year. It was a re-release, on it's first chart run in the summer of '67 it only reached #62. His next release, "By the Time I Get To Phoenix", was his first top 40 appearance, peaking at #26 in December of '67. "I Wanna Live" and "Dreams Of the Everyday Housewife" both made it into the 30s on the 'Hot 100' after "Phoenix" and before the re-release of "Gentle".
On a related note, "Can You Fool" from this week's show is a really good song, too bad it stalled at #38.
