Crap from the past permanent link to last week’s new Whitburn tribute show (6/17/2022): Two full hours of revealing conversation between Ron Gerber and Paul Haney archive.org/details/cftp-2022-06-17
(Great show Paul; wow, Joel was at his office desk the day before his passing…!. What an incredible commitment., and what a fast and I surmise blessedly painless way to leave this world.)
By the way in the above link to the latest show, you’d see a photo of Ron Gerber’s stack of Record Research books (plus a very few of Fred Bronson’s). But my favorite of the Whitburn’s books is not there: Disco/Dance book. Although I like to see it updated very much, I really don’t follow today’s charts as much as I did during Casey’s classic era.
My other comment is about his first book in 1970 (some of you, most definitely Paul, knows): That first book which covers 1955-1969, begins not with the start of the Rock era (1/1/55 like subsequent Top Pop Singles books), but with the date of the first Top 100 (Nov-12-1955), and switches to the Hot 100 after Aug 1958. But as Paul Haney alludes in the show, it was in a very basic and crude form by the standards of today, and with no Record achievers/holders last section.
Also I have been a fan of the Album books since the beginning. After the first LP book in the early 70s, I remember how excited I was when at long last, the album book got updated after the mid-1980s for the first time.
Can’t wait to see the next new project: Gavin Report book; it should be a good companion book especially to R&R book (with additional 13 or 14 years of earlier radio hits and some surprising No.1s in the early 1970s like Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water).
