Op nummer 21 zien we de Middle of the Road terugkomen in de Top 50, dit keer met Yellow Boomerang. Tien plaatsen lager verschijnt een wat verlate karnavalshit van het Cocktail Trio in de Top 50 : Lief zijn voor elkaar. De Nederlandse groep Jigsaw komt op 45 binnen met Japie. Daisy Dynamite uit Amersfoort komt binnen op nummer 50 deze week met Botch-a-me. Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight van Earth and Fire is deze week de treiterschijf. Zowel het Buitengaats als het Driemaster team hebben deze week mooie kanskaarten gekozen : Andorra van Colin Blunstone en Roll over Beethoven van ELO.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this week in February 1973

 

Many of the most noteworthy events in the life of RNI happened on Saturday and 24 February 1973 was one of them, in this case the anchor chain broke and the station was forced to leave the air as the Mebo 2 was drifting into Dutch territorial waters. Don Allen closed the station down at 24.45. Fortunately the situation was brought under control and RNI was able to return to international waters and resume broadcasts.

 

This was, understandably, not a pleasant experience for RNI's new International service DJ, Steve King, who had joined the station in mid-February 1973 to replace Mark Slate. Steve would only serve one period on board, before he left. RNI had five full International service DJs at the time, although this had been boosted by Rob Eden over Christmas 1972 and, during the early part of 1973, Ian Anderson, who had been on board the Mebo 2 on and off since the end of 1972, started to present more programmes.

 

Mike Ross had presented the International Top 30 show from 20.00 to 22.00 on Friday 23 February 1973 and the chart was starting to resemble the UK Top 30 more and more. There were a few records down the bottom of the chart that were not UK hits - including "I can't move no mountains" by Blood Sweat and Tears, a new entry at number 30.

 

There was no change to the Dutch service schedule in February 1973 and this was:

 6.00 Buitengaats (live with Marc van Amstel or Gerard Smit)

 9.00 Branding

 10.00 Peter Holland

 12.00 Tony Berk

 14.00 Ferry Maat

 16.00 Driemaster (live with Leo van der Goot or Alfred Lagarde)

 18.00 - 20.00 Nico Steenbergen

Hans Molenaar, Hans ten Hooge and Dick de Graaf were newsreaders
