Dit is de Non-Stop RNI Top 50 van 4 September 1971. De hoogste nieuwe is een van mijn favorieten : Zonder ’t te weten van Corrie en de Rekels. Deze werd tijdens een lustrumfeest op de HBS veelvuldig gedraaid en omdat ’t zo’n leuk feest was is die plaat me altijd bijgebleven. Een echte goeie plaat komt binnen op nummer 38, Storm and Thunder van Earth & Fire. De twee treiterschijven deze week zijn allebei nog wel bekend heden ten dage, hoewel je Aphrodite’s Child vaker hoort dan de Pioneers. Ik dacht altijd dat de kanskaart van Joost een zestiger jaren plaatje was, toch staat-ie in September 1971 te boek als kanskaart van heer den Draaier.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1                          Uur 2                          Uur 3

Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael Downing lezen uit de tijd dat deze Top 50 werd uitgezonden en daaronder een paar scans uit de MP van September 1971.

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this period

 

Thursday 2 September 1971

Mark Stuart goes off on shore leave and Mike Ross returns. No change in the Dutch newsreaders on board, so Nico Steenbergen continues to present Driemaster. Tonight’s International programmes:

18.00 Paul May

20.00 Mike Ross

22.00 Rob Eden

24.00 – 3.00 Dave Rogers

Dave Rogers and Paul May read the news.

 

Friday 3 September 1971

Programmes are the same as last night. Paul May does not play Mark Stuart’s hitpick at its regular time of 19.00 this evening and instead plays Joost de Draaier’s hitpick, “Let your yeah be yeah” by the Pioneers at that time. Mark Stuart and Peter Holland feature in a mobile discotheque today.

 

Saturday 4 September 1971

There is a new advertisement for Ideaal Wonen introduced today, which uses Herb Alpert’s “Jerusalem” as its backing. Joost de Draaier presents the Super Top 50 show. Paul May introduces a new spot on the Mark Stuart show – “Dating times”. The idea is that you have to pick your girlfriend up at set times – either 18.45 or 19.30 – very strange. Mark Stuart and Peter Holland appear in another mobile discotheque today.

 

Sunday 5 September 1971

Kop Op this morning is hosted by Nico Steenbergen. This evening’s International Service programmes are:

18.00 Rob Eden (In Concert)

19.00 Paul May (British Top 20)

21.00 Mike Ross (Hitback Show)

22.00 Rob Eden

24.00 – 3.00 Dave Rogers

Paul May times the Top 20 show wrongly, so there is not time to play all of the new DJ hitpicks. There are two mobile discotheque shows today and both feature Mark Stuart and Peter Holland.

 

Monday 6 September 1971

Tonight's programmes are:

 18.00 Paul May

 20.00 Mike Ross

 22.00 Rob Eden

 24.00 - 3.00 Dave Rogers

The Crispian St John show is now to be called the Cris St John show and Rob Eden has made a special jingle for when he sits in on it. Paul May and Dave Rogers read today's news.

 

Tuesday 7 September 1971

Dave Rogers reads the news. Rob Eden has an interview with Copperfield recorded by Mike Ross in his programme today. As Mike isn't feeling very well today, he goes back to bed after his programme finishes at 22.00.

It is reported today that a new 20KW transmitter is about to be brought on board the Mebo 2 to broadcast the Dutch service on 190 or 217 metres, so that 220 metres can be used for transmissions in English. Also the shortwave transmitters may be used for multi-lingual broadcasts.

 

Wednesday 8 September 1971

For some reason Paul May is no longer giving timechecks in his programme at the top of the hour. Dave Rogers reads the news.

 

Thursday 9 September 1971

Dave Rogers, Paul May and Nico Steenbergen all go off on shore leave, whilst Hans ten Hooge, Crispian St John and Mark Stuart return to the Mebo 2.

Leo van der Goot, who took over on Driemaster on Sunday, continues to present the programme and International service programmes are:

 18.00 Mark Stuart

 20.00 Mike Ross

 22.00 Crispian St John

 24.00 - 3.00 Rob Eden

Crispian St John is starting up a "Bedclothes Club", for which he invites anyone who is listening that shouldn't be to write in and tell him, giving a nickname that he can call them. Also Crispian has made jingles for the nightly programmes and for this coming Sunday's programmes. Crispian St John and Rob Eden read the news.

 

Friday 10 September 1971

A mobile discotheque today features Joost de Draaier and Dave Rogers.

The programme schedule is the same as yesterday and Crispian St John and Rob Eden read the news.
