I just checked my copy of the original 12/10/1977 show, and the last segment comes in at 12:18. Many of the shows I have are split by song, and the first part alone comes in at 3:19 ("How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gees at #3).

I think that was supposed to be 9:13. Otherwise that would have been six minutes after the #1 song, and if Casey had that long a story to tell or so much to say at the end of the show then presumably they would have cut out one or more of the show's three extras (why they had to include multiple extras in a show when they usually had to edit just to get the 40 chart songs into three hours is another issue altogether.) But couldn't someone when typing that up or editing things have noticed, "they can't cram three songs into three minutes" and made a correction? Also on the same cue sheet, apparently you have to go to Swingtown to open an account or seek a loan from the Steve Miller Bank. The Steve Miller Bank--I like it. I remember reading an article in 1977 where Miller got two checks from his record company, with each worth about 2 million dollars; so maybe he did open a bank. With the world's easiest lending policy: just take the money and run.  |

12/6/1986: - Duran Duran's Notorious is at #11 in the countdown but at #1 on the cue sheet.
- The song at #3 is listed as "Hip To Be Sqaure"; it's also not mentioned that it's a LDD song

12/4/1971:#34: "American Pie" by Don McClean#15: "Brand New Key" by...who? (Melanie, of course, but somehow her name was left off the official cue sheet) #10: "Imagine" by ...who? (Oh, John Lennon, we've heard of him, haven't we?) There's also an "Master Log Sheet" under this link that avoids these errors. It shows that they apparently originally were going to play Santana's "Para Los Rumberos" as an extra, but opted for "Everything's Coming Our Way" instead.

The 11/18/78 cue sheet doesn't include Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's "Woodstock", that was played with a related story between #37 and #36.

1/24/1987: - The Beastie Boys debut in the Top 40 for the first time at #39 in the countdown, but at #9 on the cue sheet.
- #36: Somehwere Out There
- #34: Jacob's Ladder is credited to Juey Lewis and the News
- I suspect that the question letter description between You Got It All (#25) and Stop to Love (#24) is an error: "Number One With Only Chart Album"
As for the one for the 1/16/1982 show, other than still listing Shuckatoom as the show's theme, it's error-free.

I just listened to that part of the show. The question was, as Casey read, "What acts have hit number one with their first album, and never hit the album chart again?" So based on that, I can see how the cue sheet was worded that way. The only two acts to accomplish that feat (at that time) were: Fritz Schulz-Reichel (German pianist aka Crazy Otto), and Blind Faith. |

On the cue sheet for the 2/2/1985 show, Too Late For Goddbyes debuts at #37. Also, the cue sheet for 1/24/1981 has Smoky Mountain Rain (debuting at #36) spelled with an "E"; whoever typed out the cue sheet must have either had Robinson or the Bear in mind. |

Two errors on the 2/11/1984 cue sheet: 1) For the segment about the day of the week mentioned in most Top 40 song titles, leading into New Moon on Monday at #25, "song titles" is written as one word. 2) An Innocent Man at #14 is credited to Bill Joel. |

Looked at the February 9, 1980 cue sheet, a chart which will be featured this coming weekend on Sirius XM's Big 40 countdown (speaking of errors...) #24 is "Third Time Licky" by Foghat. Maybe this licky occurred while "Crusin" together (a typo on the same sheet for the Smokey Robinson song.)

Spelling errors on artists' names on this set of cue sheet errors: 2/16/1980: Rupert Holms at #24. 2/12/1983: 1) Glen Frey on the first LDD of the show and 2) Bob Seger and the Silver Bullett Band at #4. |
