I noticed that sometimes at40 would edited certain songs some shows. then play the entire song in others. For example. in a 1980 show. they played sailing but the middle part was cut out. Then in another one they played the whole song. Another one was 78's magnet and steel, same story. I wonder why they did that.. and it was when they were failry still new to charts.

They made those edits because of time constraints; by 1972, pop songs were getting longer. That's why the show went to four hours in October 1978. |

Is this from original airings or from the ones you're hearing in the present day? Some of the present-day edits are done by Premiere. A good example of a show where it's tricky to figure out who did what edit is the 12/26/87 show that aired a few weeks ago. Using the cue sheet as a guide, I found that of the seven or so songs that were edited down in some form, three of those were original edit jobs already in the show. |
