Dit is de Non-Stop RNI Top 50 van 9 September 1972. Popcorn in heel veel uitvoeringen staat ongewijzigd op nummer 1. Andy Williams is deze week de hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer op nummer 28 met het thema van The Godfather. Ik heb de film toen in de bioscoop gezien, mijn beeld van hoe zaken gaan in de VS was daarmee meteen “verpest”. Op 32 staat het prachtige Un beso y una flor (een kus en een bloem) van Nino Bravo. In 1973 zou hij bij een auto ongeluk om het leven komen. Lynsey de Paul met Sugar me is deze week de treiterschijf. In de aflevering van Single Luck vertelt ze dan dat ze hoogst verbaasd was dat ze zo “sexy” overkomt op de plaat en in de videoclip, was ze dan zo naief? Candlewick Green kennen we in Nederland van hun hit “Who do you think you are” uit 1974, in April 1972 hadden ze al een kanskaart op RNI.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1                          Uur 2                          Uur 3

Thursday 7 September 1972

Tony Allan and Gerard Smit leave on the tender and Arnold Layne and Hans Molenaar return to the Mebo 2. Dutch service news is read by Gerard Smit in the morning, followed by Marc van Amstel in the middle of the day and then Hans Molenaar at the end of the day. Ferry Maat is on holiday, so the Tony Berk programme runs from 13.00 to 16.00 and Driemaster, presented today by Hans ten Hooge, runs from 16.00 to 19.00.

Tonight's International service programmes are:

19.00 Arnold Layne

21.00 Terry Davis

23.00 Mike Ross (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 - 3.00 Brian McKenzie

Terry Davis and Arnold Layne read the news.

 

Friday 8 September 1972

Both Peter Holland's and Tony Berk's shows today are recorded at the "Recreada" event in Den Haag. Nico Steenbergen presents today's Driemaster from 16.00 to 19.00. Dutch service news is read by Marc van Amstel in the morning and Hans Molenaar in the afternoon.

International service programmes this evening are:

19.00 Arnold Layne

21.00 Terry Davis

23.00 Terry Davis (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 Brian McKenzie

3.00 - 6.00 Mike Ross

News is read by Arnold Layne and Terry Davis

 

Saturday 9 September 1972

Apart from the Treiterschijf, the records that I have heard most on RNI over the week to Friday 8 September 1972 have been:

Salvatore Adamo - Femmes aux yeux d'amour

Looking Glass - Brandy

Force Ten - Scotch on the rocks

Labi Siffre - Watch me

Lynsey de Paul - Sugar me

Tee Set - Mary Mary

Bread - Guitar Man

Shocking Blue - Rock in the sea

Art Sullivan - Ensemble

Julio Iglesias - Un Canto a Galicia

Demis Roussos - My Reason

Alex Harvey - To make my life beautiful

Love Unlimited - Is it really true boy, is it really me?

 

Nico Steenbergen presents the Super Hit 50 show this afternoon and Driemaster, both of which are recorded. The Driemaster Kanskaart is described as the Nico Steenbergen Kanskaart, so maybe Hans Ten Hooge is now on holiday.

Tonight's programmes are:

19.00 Arnold Layne (International Prediction Hit 40)

22.00 Terry Davis (Reviews)

23.00 Terry Davis (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 Brian McKenzie

3.00 - 7.00 Mike Ross

News is read by Terry Davis and Arnold Layne. The power on 220m is reduced from 90KW today, but apparently RNI should be back on full power tomorrow. There is no Rob Eden hitpick in the Top 40 show and, as he has now not been on board for over 2 weeks, it seems probable that he has left the station. Arnold Layne did, however, refer to a couple of his former hitpicks in the Top 40 as "Former Robbie style hitpicks".

 

Sunday 10 September 1972

Power back to 90KW on medium wave today. There is a new promo for the mobile discotheque made by Alfred Lagarde. Alfred is featured in today's mobile disco show, together with Peter Holland. Tonight's programme schedule:

19.00 Brian McKenzie (Hitback Show)

21.00 Mike Ross (Cloud 9)

23.00 Terry Davis (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 - 3.00 Arnold Layne

News is read by Terry Davis and Brian McKenzie.

 

Monday 11 September 1972

The medium wave transmitter had a lot of trouble between 15.00 and 16.15, with the level dropping several times. International service programmes this evening are:

 19.00 Arnold Layne

 21.00 Terry Davis

 23.00 Mike Ross (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Brian McKenzie

News is read by Terry Davis and Arnold Layne.

 

Tuesday 12 September 1972

Terry Davis and Brian McKenzie go off on shore leave and Dave Rogers returns. This alters the International service programme schedule to:

 19.00 Mike Ross

 21.00 Dave Rogers

 23.00 Dave Rogers (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Arnold Layne

News is read by Arnold Layne, Mike Ross and Dave Rogers.

 

Wednesday 13 September 1972

An uneventful day, with programmes and newsreaders the same as yesterday.

 

Thursday 14 September 1972

Spangles Muldoon returns to RNI. Also out on the tender today are Tony Allan and Gerard Smit and going off on shore leave are Mike Ross and Marc van Amstel. Marc reads the morning news and Hans Molenaar reads the afternoon news.

International service programmes are:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Dave Rogers

 23.00 Spangles Muldoon (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Arnold Layne

News is read by Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Dave Rogers.

The return of Spangles Muldoon pretty well confirms that Rob Eden has now left RNI.

 

Friday 15 September 1972

Gerard Smit reads the morning news and Hans Molenaar continues to do the afternoon bulletins. Tony Berk has gone on holiday and Ferry Maat returns from his holiday today, so Peter Holland has an extra hour (from 11.00 to 14.00) and Ferry Maat starts an hour earlier at 14.00.

Spangles Muldoon hosts the Skyline show from 3.00 to 6.00 on Saturday morning and news on the International service is read by Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Dave Rogers.

A mobile discotheque show today features Ferry Maat and Alfred Lagarde.
