3/19/88!! www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1988-0319.pdfExtras: Hour #1: "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" - New Kids On The Block Hour #2: "Small World" - Huey Lewis & The News Hour #3: "Walk On Water" - Eddie Money Hour #4: "Waiting For A Star To Fall" - Boy Meets Girl Have any stations confirmed that they're airing the B show this weekend? I think KZOY and KOSF normally do. WFRO will likely play the B show Sunday night, however they've been skipping some of the extras (usually the middle hours)

"Bennie and the Jets" is NOT a live recording. The live sounds are taken from Elton's concerts and added to it in the studio. So the total is really 5 live #1 hits. The 6th would come in 1987 by Billy Idol.

This does not appear to be like Journey's "The Party's Over" which a few weeks later Casey also called a live hit. That was a studio recording on an album in which everything else was live.

Gaye's song is similar, per wiki. Even though it is on that 'Live at the London Palladium' album, it wasn't recorded there. It was recorded at Gaye's recording studio (called 'Marvin's Room') in December 1976. The 'party sound effects' were added to the studio track. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Got_to_Give_It_Up

Casey is not the only one stumped by that. The late Joel Whitburn has it recorded live at the London Palladium in the 1993 book. But the 2012 book does not have any indication that it was live. So in the interim, he/they at Record Research must have figured it out. Not sure if Casey and the AT40 staff ever figured it out as he/they eventually did for "The Party's Over".

Have any stations confirmed that they're airing the B show this weekend? WQCY (Quincy IL) announced on air that the B show from 1988 will air at 10AM on Saturday. Time is Central.

The 3/14/81 show on KOLA sounds very clear and dynamic. For something that was originally broadcast on vinyl, I'm impressed. Kudos to the remastering crew.

"At This Moment" was recorded live at The Roxy in Los Angeles-It was a flop when it was initially released in 1981-In 1985,the song got a second wind when it was featured on the TV series "Family Ties"-Rhino Records re-released it & this time it shot to # 1 in early 1987.

Just a month earlier (2/14/81) AT40 stopped playing the previous week's top 3 every week at the start of the show and often just played last week's #1 (or sometimes the top two). By 3/14 I wonder why they even bothered with that, as of the previous week's #1 ("I Love a Rainy Night"), which isn't a long song to begin with, it was just the opening verse, first chorus, and then repeat/fade. This may have been a Premiere edit, but it was so short that it seemed pointless.
The piece of Vesti La Guibba played presumably dated to 1906 (Casey said "75 years ago", and that Caruso recorded it several times starting in 1902.) That may have been the oldest recording ever heard on AT40.
