Een Top 50 met
daarin ook aandacht voor de "concurrent" Veronica. Op nummer 17
vind je Veronica 538 van Vader Abraham en consorten. Verder op nummer 42 Old
Shatterhand met I'm the greatest en op nummer 48 Les Beaux Jours van Rika Zarai,
een alarmschijf, die de Top 40 nooit haalde. Tussen de kanskaarten zitten het
mooie Baby don't get hooked on me van Mac Davis en I'd love you to want me
van Lobo en die laatste zie je ook wel 's op 192TV (opname uit het Duitse
popprogramma Disco). Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren: 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 November 1972. |

The RNI memories of
Michael Downing for this period Friday 3 November 1972 Nico
Steenbergen is on from 19.00 to 20.00 and then,
unannounced, at 20.00 there is the return of the International Service. Programmes are: 20.00 Mike Ross 22.00 Don Allen 24.00 Brian
McKenzie 3.00 – 6.00 Mike
Ross Don Allen is the
former Radio Caroline North DJ. The three DJs came on board the Mebo 2 at about 18.30 and had only 90 minutes to prepare
for this evening’s programmes. Mike Ross says that
there will be quite a few new names and faces on the station – does this mean
that Tony Allan, Dave Rogers, Terry Davis and Arnold Layne will not be
returning? Mike also says that, if it wasn’t for Brian McKenzie, he would not
be there. There is news at the top of each hour between 21.00 and 3.00, read
by the DJ broadcasting in the immediately preceding hour. Mike Ross also says
that the International Service will be around for a long time to come. The
reinstatement of the International Service is obviously another spot
decision, as the Dutch DJs made no reference to it during their programmes earlier in the day. Saturday 4 November 1972 Records that I
have heard most on RNI over the past week, excluding the Treiterschijf,
have been:
Tony Berk has an hour with Mariska Veres of Shocking Blue at 15.00,
followed by an hour of oldies with a few DJ hitpicks
at the end from 16.00 to 17.00. Nico Steenbergen still thinks that he has two hours – he was
reminding us of the “Drie Beatles” spot at 20.30 in
his show; however, that hour is not broadcast, as the International Service
is on with the following programmes: 20.00 Don Allen 22.00 – 24.00
Brian McKenzie There is a new
engineer on board the Mebo 2 – an American named Steve Berry. Today is Edwin
Bollier’s birthday, so the three English speaking
DJs, plus Mike Ross’s wife Sheila (also on board) and Hans Molenaar sing him “Happy Birthday” at 22.00. The
Greenwich time signal is reintroduced at the top of each hour this evening.
RNI closes at 24.00 for maintenance work. A mobile
discotheque show today features Leo van der Goot and Tony Berk. Sunday 5 November 1972 The Dutch DJs
still do not know about the return of the International Service, which
tonight is: 20.00 Brian
McKenzie (Hitback Show) 22.00 Don Allen 24.00 – 2.00
Mike Ross The hitback competition is reinstated and Mike Ross, who will
be taking over this programme from next week, helps
pick the winner of the previous hitback
competition. RNI closes for more maintenance at 2.00. Today’s mobile
discotheque features Alfred Lagarde and Ferry Maat. Monday 6 November 1972 RNI is off the
air for part of this morning’s Leo van der Goot show and, when it returns, reception is very poor.
Therefore there is no International Service this evening – RNI closes for
maintenance at 20.00 following an announcement by Brian McKenzie. Tuesday 7 November 1972 RNI is back on
the air this morning at 6.00 with much improved reception. Tonight’s programmes are: 20.00 Mike Ross 22.00 Don Allen 24.00 – 3.00
Brian McKenzie One of the most
noteworthy things is how popular Alex Harvey’s “To make my life beautiful”
was on RNI. It was amongst the most played records in the week to 22
September 1972 and was still being played a lot 6 weeks later. Wednesday 8 November 1972 The return of
the World Service is announced. It is to broadcast every Sunday between 10.00
and 20.00 on 6205KHz in the 49 metre band. Thursday 9 November 1972 Dick de Graaf
goes off on shore leave and Hans ten Hooge comes back on board as a
newsreader. A new feature on
the Mike Ross show is "Around Europe", the object of which is to
provide information about concerts taking place all over Europe. Friday 10 November 1972 New programmes
for Friday evening are: 20.00 Mike Ross
(International Hit 30) 22.00 Don Allen 24.00 Brian
McKenzie (Rock'n'Roll Special) 2.00 Brian
McKenzie 3.00 - 6.00 Mike
Ross The
International Hit 30 replaces the International Prediction Hit 40 and has
records from Germany, Spain, France and Belgium as well as the UK and USA. A mobile
discotheque today features Ferry Maat and Tony Berk. New records
played on RNI this week included:
