Been listening to my original copy of AT40 from 10/10/1987 this morning, and there is an edit on "Only In My Dreams" by Debbie Gibson, which also is a LDD in this show. There's a better way to edit that song.
ETA: "Brilliant Disguise" was also edited at #30; likely due to it being the last song in the first hour.

On AT40: The 80's 10/4/1986 (now airing on WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison on time around 8 AM this Sunday 10/3/2021 morning!), the #39 song "Word Up" by Cameo had the second verse and chorus omitted. Was it Premiere? Indeed, it was. |

On this week's 1982 show, "You Should Hear How She Talks About You" by Melissa Manchester was edited by cutting out the first chorus and second verse. I listened to the Flashback version of the show earlier today and the song was intact, so it was definitely a Premiere edit in the AT40: The 80s series. I'm assuming it was edited like that the first time that it was played in this series (in 2011).

Just not well thought out. |

I don't recall Shake Your Love or Out of the Blue ever getting edited like that (or even edited at all). I wonder if it has to with the songs being more upbeat. |

"Shake Your Love" was edited a few times, IIRC, but it was a "normal" edit (cutting out either the second verse or the bridge - or possibly both - on different weeks, of course).

That was an interesting edit of The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald on this weeks 10/30/76 show. The first part of the song where all of the lyrics were run together. If Gord had sung it like that he would have run out of breath! A lot of the other music was edited out but at least the complete story was still told. Not a terrible edit but very intersting!

On AT40: The 80's 11/19/1983 the second verse and chorus of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling was omitted. That wasn't the way I heard it on WLS AM 890 Chicago back at the 11/19/1983 time! Premiere's editing hatchet strikes again!

Party All the Time was cut off early on the 12/7/1985 show, something that happened quite a bit during it's Top 40 run.

On AT40: The 70's 12/10/1977 the second verse and chorus of "You Can't Turn Me Off" by High Inergy was omitted, it may be either an edit originally by Watermark or current by Premiere.

I am now listing to AT40: The 70's 12/11/1976 this Saturday afternoon via WVLI Kankakee, and the #40 song "Whispering/Churchez La Femme/Se Si Bon" by the Dr. Buzzard Original Savannah Band is edited to about 1 minute and some seconds - Is it a Premiere edit?
Also edited on 12/11/1976 - The #39 song "I Like Dreaming" by Kenny Nolan - also a Premiere edit?
I didn't even like the #10 song of "Nights are Forever Without You" by England Dan and John Ford Coley being edited to about a minute and a 1/2! Also done by Premiere?
