Dit is de Non-Stop RNI Top 50 van 23 September 1972. De op één na hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer is Mama weer all crazee now van Slade. Ook deze Top 50 herbergt weer een aantal hele mooie plaatjes zoals die van Alex Harvey, Labi Siffre, Axis, de Tremeloes, de Beach Boys en ga zo maar door. Ook wordt deze week weer aandacht besteed aan “de buren”, Cornelis Vreeswijk staat op nummer 12 met Veronica. Hurricane Smith zingt deze week de treiterschijf en Ferry Maat heeft een werkelijk prachtige kanskaart gekozen : Por una mujer van Julio Iglesias.

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 ME van September 1972.
