Those of you who have XM may want to tune into 80s on 8 this Sunday at 11am Central Time. They are going to broadcast the December 13, 1980 show. Those who don't have XM can listen to the broadcast online by going to xmradio.com and following the instructions there. The show will rebroadcast the following Thursday at 9pm Central.
As you know, the show was broadcast just after John Lennon was assassinated and the first version, completed before Lennon's death, included no mention of Lennon's death but did have a QL about "posthumous acts ". After Lennon's death was announced, a replacement disk was sent out eliminating the QL and included a very moving tribute by Casey to the memory of Lennon.
I do remember that this show was included in the Aug 2006 AT40 marathon and the first version was played, disappointing many of us. I can't rule out the possibility that the first version will be played again, however, the description of the show on Xmradio.com mentions Lennon's death. With this in mind, the chances that they will play the second version (including the replacement disk) are greater.
A clue to whether or not they will play the second version will be if the QL on posthumous hits is read. The letter is read earlier in the show than Casey's tribute. If they read the QL, then the tribute will most likely not be given and they will be playing the first version.
