Anywhere to hear the "B" show today? KOSF went with 1982 Thought they would play the B (Looks like I am 2 hours late from the post above...) Besides WFRO 8PM & KRKE 10PM as well as the 3-hr KYBG 10PM, other possibilities are: KXGL 7PM WTIC 9PM 3-hr ---------------------------------------------------------------- WFMX 8PM has a random show. WQDC 8PM aired 8/1/81 this morning. Times are Eastern. Well, KXGL is playing the 1982 show, so that blows that out of the water. I sure hope that WFRO plays the show. Maybe I can at least catch the first two hours (I'm so used to going to bed at 8PM (CST) that I have a hard time staying awake past 9:00. EDIT: WFRO is indeed going with the 1986 AT40!

This is not the first time KOSF went with an '82 "A" show over a later years "B" show.

Does Premiere usually allow repeats of standalones as B’s in the following year? We got 1988 by itself only three times this year, and while 8/6/88 was a standalone last year it would work nicely as the B to either the 1980 or 1981 A’s in the next couple of weeks.

I don't think they've done it since relegating 1980-1982 as needing B shows.

At the end of Abracadabra it sounded like Steve was whispering the lyrics and the music was overpowering him. Was that a mistake by somebody or an alternate version that I don't remember ever hearing?

Was that a mistake by somebody or an alternate version that I don't remember ever hearing? I remember reading in Fred Bronson's Billboard Book of Number One Hits that Steve's voice went hoarse but, being the producer, he decided to leave it in and blend it into the music track. So it was a mistake to begin with.

I'm looking forward to the countdown from 8/8/81 as I turned 23 that particular day.

I'm guessing this week's "B" show is 8/3/1985.

Interesting to note that Jim Steinman wrote both "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" & "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"-They held down the # 1 & # 2 positions on the Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1983.

Same thing happened with Prince in April 1986 when he had both "Kiss" and "Manic Monday" in the top 2.
And the Gibb brothers must have done it several times back in the first few months of 1978.
