Thanks, skyseth. Lou seems to think that there was a special countdown of the top instrumentals of the "Transistor Era," 1955-1974. I found a top 100 overall of the TE and a top 100 instrumentals, but no combination of the two. So we'll see what happens in the near future.
I listened to that show in 08/2016. I did not record it. It was repeated in 01/2017. I copied down the rankings (such as #100 is Horst Jankowski-Walk in the Black Forest and #1 is Percy Faith-Theme from a Summer Place) but I don't have all 100, maybe 90 of them. Would that be helpful?
Don't doubt Lou.
