Tell Laura I love
her in de uitvoering van Albert West is deze week de hoogste nieuwe op nummer
19. De grote hit van de Golden Earring (ook in de VS) komt binnen op nummer
21 : Radar Love. Een nogal bijzonder plaatje, dat je niet zomaar in zo’n hitlijst
zou verwachten, komt binnen op nummer 39 : Twee handjes van de Monnies uit
Brussel. Een van mijn persoonlijke favorieten komt deze week nieuw binnen op
nummer 47 : Shambala van Three Dog Night. Soul Muziek wordt steeds
populairder en dat zie je aan de nummers 49 en 50 met Barry White en de
Undisputed Truth. Hetzelfde zie je in de keuze van de kanskaarten met de
O’Jays en First Choice. Een niet al te bekend nummer van de voorgangers van
Abba (Bjorn, etc) komt nieuw binnen op nummer 16 in de Troef 20 : People need
love, een waarheid als een koe. Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren: Als toegift deze week de Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael
Downing lezen aan RNI in Augustus 1973 en daaronder een paar scans uit de
Poptelescoop van 25 Augustus 1973. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for this week in August 1973 The International service of RNI had lost
Arnold Layne in July 1973 and was therefore one DJ short, so Rob Eden
returned to the Mebo 2 for a while in August,
before the new DJ joined. The new DJ turned out to be a familiar voice under
a new name. Robin Banks had broadcast under the name of Robin Adcroft on Radio Caroline earlier in 1973. The Dutch service had the same DJ team
throughout August 1973, with the weekday schedule being: 6.00 Buitengaats (Marc van Amstel, Gerard Smit or Hans
Molenaar) 9.00 Branding
(Non-stop) 10.00 Peter Hoilland 12.00 Tony Berk 14.00 Ferry Maat 16.00 Driemaster (Leo van der Goot and Dick
de Graaf on alternate weeks) 18.00 - 20.00 Nico Steenbergen On Monday evening Hans Molenaar presented a programme
of music from no later than 1965 called "65 Min" from 19.00 to
20.00. The Super Top 50 show, as always from
12.00 to 15.00 on Saturday, was presented by Ferry Maat
on 25 August 1973 and the Troef 20, broadcast in Driemaster on Saturday, was hosted by Leo van der Goot, who was on board the Mebo 2 and presenting Driemaster
that week. The International Top 30 on Friday 24
August 1973, from 20.00 to 22.00, was hosted by Graham Gill and had
"Rising Sun" by Medicine Head at number 1. There was only one new
entry in the Top 30 - "Young love" by Donny Osmond at number 13 -
although there were a few big movements within the chart, such as
"Smarty Pants" by First Choice moving from number 15 to number 4
and "You can do magic" by Limmie and the
Family Cooking falling from number 2 to number 15, The Smash Play for the
week was "Tequila Sunrise" by the Eagles. Note from Ben
: Now I know when I recorded this aircheck from FM. The Hitback
show - from 20.00 to 22.00 on Sundays - was presented by Mike and Sheila Ross
on 26 August 1973, as was usually the case in this part of 1973. Sheila Ross
was therefore one of only three female DJs on the International service of
RNI - the others were Jane Valentine and Louise Quirk - but I don't think she
ever presented a programme on her own and she was
usually only featured in the Hitback Show. |
