On AT40: The 80's 6/28/1986 - Is the version of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" used as a Long Distance Dedication that same week played on the show the WHITNEY HOUSTON album version and not the 45 single version? It has a different piano intro, diffeent music accopliment, and some slightly different vocal parts.

Wait, there's a third version of GLOA by WH? Or am I misreading? Help me out, doesn't the LP have the piano intro, and the 7'' has the synthesizer/keyboard intro, but, otherwise, they are alarmingly similar?

Did AT40 play on some weeks of the chart run of the 1988 re-release of "Do You Love Me" by the Contours a 1988 remix/re-recorded version, even on Casey's last original AT40 show on 8/6/1988 and Shadoe's first AT40 on 8/13/1988?

I believe it was the 7-9-88 show was the only time where the ORIGINAL version was played during it's chart run. The rest of the time was that awful re-recorded version played. |

I guess the 1988 remix of "Do You Love Me" is only available on 12" single.

The AT40: The 80's 8/8/1981 episode played the album version of Jim Stienman's "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" with the accapella ending when it normally plays the single version, and the same AT40 8/8/1981 episode also played the album version of Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio's "That Old Song".

On AT40: The 80's 10/16/1982 episode the album version of the Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" which features a line you don't hear in the single version that goes "You turn me up you turn me down the way you drop me to the ground, you dropped a bomb on me" 2 times.

Cuz they had time to fill. They also played the full LP track of "I Ran" as a one-song segment. |

Actually, they did not play the full album track. That one begins with sort of a spacey intro that lasts about a minute. The version they played on AT40 was like the single version with the instrumental break that has the cold ending. That version, BTW, is what I generally heard on the radio back in 1982. It wasn't until I was listening to a "lunchtime 80s" show around 1999 or so that I heard the version with the weird intro.

On AT40: The 80's 11/23/1985 for the #38 song "You're a Friend of Mine" by Clarence Clemmons and Jackson Browne: Whan I heard this show originally on WLS 890 AM back in November 1985 the version played was the single version, but on the AT40: The 80's version the little longer album version (with an extra line for the last chorus and an instrumental bridge before Clarence's closing sax solo to the fade out) was played - We all it owe to Ken Martin and his bag of edit tricks?

Just listened to the 11/17/79 countdown as played by Sirius XM and it includes the album version of the Knack's "Good Girls Don't", not the single version they usually played. Why this one was used I don't know: it's not any longer or shorter than the single. The only difference is that a couple of lyrics in the album version are raunchier than in the cleaned-up single, and I don't think that Casey or others at AT40 really wanted to play it for that particular reason.

Rapture on the 3/14/1981 show is a different version than what I usually hear on the show.

Rapture on the 3/14/1981 show is a different version than what I usually hear on the show. The original cue sheet shows that this was a two-song segment, clocking in at 10:37. My guess is that it's the album version. |
