The version of the show WQSR is airing tonight doesn't seem to have the national ads attached. Anyone else notice this on any other affiliates this weekend?

For the 9/20/80 AT40 show (The B show), I guess the ARCHIVE EXTRAS of "Wooden Heart" and "Michael" are still shut out.

They definitely are not playing the version with the national ads tonight. Weird.

Does the "A" show have any remixes? I'll be sure to have my radio tuned to 105.1 The River (WJDX-FM) by 8:00 (Central Time) Sunday morning.

My guess is that the show will play the versions of songs that were popular and originally heard on the radio/7-inch versions sold in stores in ... (gasp) ... 1987, rather than any latter-day remixes, if this is what you're asking. In other words ... the show as you originally heard it in September 1987 is what you and all of us will hear. For me at least -- I can't really speak for anyone else -- the WHOLE POINT of listing to these original AT40 shows from the 1970s and 1980s IS to hear the songs as they originally were ... a trip back in time, if you will. To hear a modern remix of a song edited into a show that originally aired in, say, 1970, 1978, 1980 or 1987 (which are the years of the four shows we've got coming up this weekend) is doing us injustice, IMO. (Same for editing out songs that "don't fit the format"; if that's what it comes down to, pass on the show or get a new show that does fit the format). Brian

I'm sure that we will hear at least four remixes or different versions on this week's 9-26-87 show The live version of "Mony, Mony" by Billy Idol-"Hey, Hey what" sounds better with the studio version LOL REO Speedwagon "In My Dreams" A slightly different version than the one from "Life As We Know It" ABC-"When Smokey Sings"- We'll probably hear "I Need You So Bad" instead of "James Sings eh eh" in the bridge of the song Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again " The Radio Remix-That version was actually on their greatest hits album from 1994. My local affiliate KGOR plays that version instead of the conventional album version. They also had a different version of "Here I Go Again" in the early 80's using the line "Like A "Hobo" I was Born To Walk Alone" instead of "Drifter" found on their "Saints And Sinners" album.

My response, FWIW, wasn't whether single/radio edits or other "remixes" in common circulation in 1987 would be played. My interpretation of the question was obviously way off, but it was whether latter-day remixes, such as those created in the 2000s decade and 2010s for nightclub or classic hits radio play, as those versions would be seen by millennials -- including those who WEREN'T EVEN BORN IN 1987 -- as "cool" and the only version they like much less tolerate and the original is not only uncool but old-hat and "only Grandma would love it." A common example is classic hits stations playing only the 1994 remix of The Four Seasons' "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)," yet the on-air flunk... er, disc jockey claim this version was the original 1975 version and then several hours later play the Seasons' original 1975 "Who Loves You." That's just one reason that radio's not what it used to be ... ignorant millennials who would care less about the history of a given song or know what it's like to enjoy a good song. Brian

Not sure what station is doing that Brian. But what you have just said does not represent what is going on in radio at all. And the whole adding a remixed song thing has never been done on an AT40 replay. Ever. Unless some random affiliate is doing it. You seem to have a bone to pick with radio, millennials, and the fact that time has moved forward and radio is simply moving with it.

Brian If you remove the word Millennial, this last paragraph could be quoted about every generations music and radio by the previous one.

Wasn't there one week a few years back where somehow a weird remix of M's Pop Muzik got played? Or was that as an OE?

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/4/86 2nd Guess - 10/6/84
It almost has to be 1986 next weekend, and this show would be another repeat from 2009. 1984 is the only other year that appears to have any possibility of being played, but I'm thinking '84 happens later in October.
