De hekkesluiter deze
week is een oudje, uit de film Easy Rider : Steppenwolf met Born to be wild. Na
twee weken treiterschijf te zijn geweest komt Angeline (en niet Angelina)
binnen in de Top 50 op nummer 42. Op 39 staat Arizone van de Buffoons,
lettertje gewisseld met Peter en z’n Rockets waarschijnlijk. Het Noordzee
koor stijgt deze week van 25 naar 18 met Geef ons een kans. Op nummer 2 in de
Troef 20 staat Kevin Ayers. Onlangs ontdekte ik op youtube dat er een
videoclip van dat nummer bestaat. Op 18 komt Medicine Head binnen. Toen ik in
de zomer van 1973 in Harderwijk kampeerde kwam ik ‘s avond regelmatig in een
disco (met de naam ... Mac of zo). Aan het eind van de avond werd dan aan één
stuk door deze plaat gedraaid door de (nogal fors uitgevallen) eigenaar. In
de Troef 20 ook nog een paar mooie Amerikaanse plaatjes zoals die van First Choice en Sylvia. 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 MP van Juli 1973. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for this period The “Radio Noordzee
– Hou’m in de lucht”
campaign had been in action for just over two weeks by 7 July 1973 and was
being heavily plugged on the Dutch Service following the passing of the Anti-Zeezenderwet by the 2de Kamer
on 28 June 1973. Listeners were being encouraged to become members of Radio Noordzee for 10 guilders, so that the station could apply
for airtime on the Dutch public radio network in Hilversum. All of the Dutch
DJs had been on the Mebo 2 presenting their programmes live in the last week of June, but things had
returned to normal by the beginning of July and only the usual live programmes – Buitengaats from
6.00 to 9.00 (with Gerard Smit, Hans Molenaar or Marc van Amstel)
and Driemaster from 16.00 to 18.00 (with Leo van der Goot or Dick de Graaf) - were live. Peter Holland, Tony Berk, Ferry Maat and Nico Steenbergen recorded their
programmes in Holland, as did the presenters of the
weekend programmes such as Andre van Duyn. Dick de Graaf
was presenting Driemaster in the week that included
Saturday 7 July 1973 and so presented the Troef 20
on that day. Ferry Maat presented the Super Top 50
as usual. On the International Service, there was
very little reference to the impending Dutch law. Programmes
continued as usual with a DJ team of Mike Ross, Don Allen, Brian McKenzie,
Graham Gill and Arnold Layne. Graham Gill presented the International Top 30
on Friday 6 July 1973, which was now much more in
line with the UK Top 30 than had been the case six months earlier. The only
records in the Top 30 which were not UK hits were “Seven little girls” by
Peaches at no. 26 and “Man of renown” by Writing on
the Wall at no. 28. David Bowie was at no. 1 with “Life on Mars”. The International Service had
reintroduced the Smash Play in the second half of June, although the DJ hitpicks had been discontinued. The Smash Play in the
week commencing 6 July 1973 was “Blackboard Jungle Lady” by the Sandy Coast,
which had been released in the UK. I bought a copy, but it was not a hit in
the UK. The LP of the week was by the Golden Earring, so it was a good week
for Dutch rock groups on RNI’s International Service. |
