WPNC aired the 1988 show today and I believe they will repeat it Monday/Tuesday at midnight. Hoping that WPNC will insert the first hour optional extra into the Monday night airing... Sunday it got squeezed out by an overrun of the church services they air prior to the show. I had recorded the show on WPNC and didn't realize they aired 1988 until I checked last night. I haven't listened yet - thanks for the heads up.

The last time they did it was last year (7/25/1987, when it was a B to 7/24/1982's A last Summer), and it was a similar situation where the B show was a later-80's show. The last times before that was when they went with 4/20/1985 (B) over 4/17/1982 (A), and 3/28/1987 (B) over 3/28/1981 (A) just a few months previous.

Next week's show is...3/31/1984. Is 1984 a surprise ? Not really for me, because it´s Easter again and therefore another Easter weekend with 1984. An April Fool´s joke ? No, even though Easter Monday is 4/1 this year. I remember for a while several years back (early 2010s) Easter and 1984 were paired together often. I think we can (mostly) safely say this won't happen next year, as Easter is on 4/20, and 4/21/1984 aired just last year. But airing shows just two years after its previous play while rare, isn't unheard of.

The hour one Optional Extra slot for this 3/19/1983 show sure is a revolving door. "It's Raining Men", "Mornin'", and now "Solitaire".

"Mornin" was used in March 2017 as a salute to Al Jarreau who had recently passed away. "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" is an interesting case: a song that twice charted on the Hot 100, didn't make the top 40 either time, and yet remains widely recognized today.

"Should I Stay Or Should I Go" still receives recurrent airplay on stations that program a classic rock format.

The Clash could not do what Prince did in the same time frame with a similar scenario. Each peaked at almost the same position with a hit then made the top 10 with the next release. #44 for "1999" by Prince, #45 for "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash before "Little Red Corvette" and "Rock the Casbah" made the top 10. They re-released those first singles afterward thinking the exposure of the top 10 hit would get those other hits into the top 40 after all. Worked for Prince but not the Clash.

That was live. It is from a live album recorded at the London Palladium. 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 Even though it wasn't a #1 hit on the pop charts (it did reach the top of the country singles chart, however), "Good Hearted Woman" by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson, I think, falls into the same category. A song recorded in-studio with canned audience applause added later. Rick in South Omaha, Nebraska

This week's 3/19/83 show includes something which didn't happen often for me--a follow-up single which was better than the first hit. I've always thought Steel Breeze's "Dreamin' Is Easy" was a much better tune than "You Don't Want Me Anymore." Apparently, radio and record buyers didn't agree, since it peaked at #30.
Come to think of it, it actually happens twice this week. I thought Jefferson Starship's "Winds of Change" was also better than its predecessor, "Be My Lady."
And three times. I forgot about Tom Petty's "Change of Heart," which I preferred over "You Got Lucky."
(Guess I should've been an A&R guy....)

I saw an ad on the bottom of this proboards screen for the ZZ Top Sharp Dressed man tour this year. That is another song like "Should I Stay or Should I Go" which gets decent airplay without making the top 40. Not sure if that has been an OE previously. Come late July and August it could be for a 1983 show.
