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. It could also be the 45 version which runs about 6:18- I'm glad they played the album version of April Wine's "Just Between You And Me" The 45 does not have the French line towards the end of the song . |

I heard the show yesterday. I can confirm they played the Lp / stock 45 version of "Rapture" on the 3/14/81 show. Usually AT40 played the promo version which is shorter and remixed. |

This may be another case like Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise", where there were very different 45 and LP versions of a song, but because the memory of the song was long kept alive by AOR/classic rock stations (which played the album version), the 45 version has largely been forgotten. Thank God for that because I don't like that version at all; it's almost on the same level to me as the album version of Coming Up compared to the live version. |

For the sweetest thing, from Juice Newton, it started out with the country instrumentation, then switched to the pop edit, with the oboe.

On the top 100 of 1990, Casey played a strange version of “Strike It Up” by Black Box which he’d never played before.

The version played was the one played on most of the weekly shows during its run...but personally, I'm not crazy about that one. I'll have to listen to AT40 and see which version they used. |

Yeah that would be 1991. There were two versions of the lyrics to that song...in the rap bridge. Shadoe played the latter on the Top 100 of 1991 show. Most radio stations played the former though. v1 (single ver.) If I have the line and you have the bass Then strike it up and you'll find the rhythm's on time Line after line going straight to your mind 'cause hyping the place is what we're all about Moving your waist to the bass is no doubt Roll up the groove, melody is essential Drop the knowledge on this instrumental Cast your doubts about house music You've got the body, so why don't you use it? Naturally swinging your thing to the song 'cause that's how we pump the dancefloor for the strong v2 (album ver.) If I have the line and you have the bass Let's just combine no need to waste our time Get together you never know what we'll find Cause acid house it's plain and it's simple Pump up the bass and raise up the treble Send to the crowd on the floor in the middle Rub-a-dub-dub on your spots till it tickles Plain and simple acid is bold This style of music I feel will prolong I know what I say won't turn out to be wrong The bold acid beat it will always be strong |

The 12/26/87 show contained different versions of both Jody Watley's "Don't You Want Me" and Heart's "There's the Girl". I'm thinking both instances might have been the LP versions of the songs? It's the only time I remember hearing those versions on AT40. Odd thing about "Don't You Want Me" is that song was on its way down and had been played a bunch before that...

I don’t remember if he played this version during its full chart run, but Casey and Shadoe definitely played the more familiar one with the horns. |

I have the WT40 show from 6/22/1991, and I really like the version played in that show. It's the same version in AT40. Casey played an edited version in the early chart run on CT40, then played an odd mix throughout the majority of its chart run. I wasn't all that crazy about that particular mix.
I have the 6/1/1991 WT40 show, too, but somehow didn't make it into my library. Will have to look for that one.

Slightly off topic, but I heard some old Rick Dees shows recently and noticed that he played a very watered-down remix of Amy Grant's "Baby Baby" that to me sounded awful. It would always bother me when these countdown shows played versions of songs that sounded nothing like what you'd hear the rest of the week on the radio. You'd think with all the paranoia among radio programmers to keep people listening that they'd want to play the versions that audiences actually knew and liked! Exactly what I was gonna say. It was the #1 song this week in 1991. |

On this oast weekend's '87 show, a slightly different version of Breakfast Club's Right On Track was played. Did anyone else listening to the '87 show catch that?

Yeah, they used that version in the 5/16, 5/23, and 5/30 shows. I prefer the other version. ETA: It was also played in the 4/18, 4/25, and 5/2 shows. (4/18 aired this year, 5/2 was guest-hosted by Charlie Van Dyke.) All in all, the alternate version was played in 6 of the 11 weeks it was on. The single version was played in the other 5 weeks, as well as the 1987 year-end...so it ends up coming out even. |
