What's the show for Aug. 26/27? According to KOLA, 8/29/87. Both 9/3 and 9/10/83 were played in the last two years, so while we might get a curveball with one of those (in the last few months Premiere has replayed shows from May 1984 and July 1987 that were standalones in the last two years), 9/17 seems like a better option. Regarding 1985, 9/7 was aired by itself in 2019 and as a B in 2020, and the only time since 2019 we've had a September 1985 standalone was 9/21 in 2021. As for everyone's favourite from that month (9/14/85), that was last an A in 2016 but was a B just last year.

The best-know example of that was probably Stevie Wonder's "Songs In the Key Of Life" album. Two LP discs plus a 7" disc. How about the 1988 "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" album by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince with includes a bonus 7" or 12" scratch record for DJ's besides the normal 12" album? Noted. But certainly not as well-known as Stevie's multi-million-selling release, which debuted on the Top 200 LP chart at #1 in October of 1976.

The instrumentation of That Old Song sounds a little bit like the Magnum PI theme.

The instrumentation of That Old Song sounds a little bit like the Magnum PI theme. Now that you mention it, I can definitely hear that - especially in the choruses.

I'm sorry if I'm asking that again, but for Aug 25, 1984, Libra user didn't post those on pulsemusic proboards page for this especially for long distance description, and I'm very curious to know what they are. I just don't have time to listen to 1984 show since I'll be very busy with stuff and my studies.

Casey said on 8/22/81 that the 80s so far had been characterized by veteran acts continuing to score big hits. This indicates that the onslaught of new artists and styles hadn’t really hit the pop chart in a major way yet; it would do so starting over the next year and continuing later, so that Air Supply would not be considered the hottest new act of the 80s (Casey’s comments led into “The One That You Love”).
Perhaps it’s symbolic that he said this during the first month of MTV’s existence, as it was showcasing what it could of new acts and musical styles that would become identified with the decade, but hadn’t really attained mass distribution yet.

For the closing of AT40: The 80's 8/22/1981, Larry Morgan didn't do the "I'm Larry Morgan, thanks for listening" line at the end after he mentioned "The legend where the countdown began - Casey Kasem".

On this week's B show presentation from 8/25/84,Casey read a QL (Question Letter) from a listener who wanted to know if "The Star Spangled Banner" had ever charted-It turns out that a live rendition by Jose Feliciano peaked at # 50 in 1968-In early 1991,Whitney Houston reached the top forty with her stirring rendition which was recorded live at that year's Super Bowl-It peaked at # 20-Ten years later,in 2001,Whitney's version of "Banner" recharted in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks-This time,it did even better going to # 6.

The last time Premiere did a 1981 show "Bette Davis Eyes" was in its final week at #1 and "Endless Love" was debuting at #38. This week "Endless Love" is in its second week at #1 and "Bette Davis Eyes", in its last week on AT40, is at #38.

Not only was Billy Squier heard on both shows this weekend, both songs were at #17.

Casey's answer to a listener question in the 1981 show overlooked at least "one" answer: when mentioning songs that peaked at a position mentioned in their title, he (or the staff) forgot "You're the One That I Want", by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which hit #1 in 1978. (This, incidentally, came a few songs after Olivia's "I Honestly Love You", another #1 hit, was heard as an LDD.)
Meanwhile, Larry Morgan introduced the "Super Freak" extra by linking it with MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This", which wasn't the last hit to interpolate this evidently enduring song. In the last year Nicki Minaj had a top 5 AT40 hit with "Super Freaky Girl", which also built itself around its riff and lyrical theme. (Premiere incidentally played a version that included an instrumental/vocal coda that isn't usually heard.)

Wow, that's an anagram of this week's "B" show.
