Op 49 komt de ex-kanskaart van Ferry Maat binnen : Lady of the morning van Marvin, Welch & Farrar. Los Mayas komen binnen op 42 met een plaat dat eigenlijk helemaal niet in een Top 50 past. Op 30 komen de White Plains binnen met het mooie When you are a king. De Top 3 bestaat voor 67% uit 11 Provinciën produkties. De kanskaart van Peter Holland is het geweldig mooie Make it with you van Bread, een plaat, die in Augustus 1970 al veelvuldig op RNI te horen was, maar blijkbaar nu pas in Nederland is uitgebracht (of opnieuw is uitgebracht). De kanskaart van Joost is veel gebruikt voor jingle materiaal op RNI. Er is zelfs een videoclip voor Toppop van gemaakt, waarbij een viertal jongeren in “kung-fu” kleding een beetje staan te dansen op de plaat. Deze clip zit/zat in de playlist van 192TV.

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 Juli 1971.

Monday 12 July 1971

Jan Van Veen is on holiday and his 9.00 to 12.00 programme is being presented by Hans ten Hooge live from the Mebo 2. Hans has a hitpick this week for the first time in a number of weeks –“It’s too late” by Carole King.

The most played records on RNI at present appear to be “Jelly Roll” by Louis Armstrong, “I’m in love” by Cobra and “Can’t help talking about you” by Frankie Robinson.

International service programmes follow the same pattern as on Saturday and Crispian St John, Mike Ross and Dave Rogers are this evening’s newsreaders.

 

Tuesday 13 July 1971

The medium wave and 49 metre shortwave transmitters go off the air at midnight for transmitter adjustments, meaning that the Dave Rogers midnight to 3.00 show tonight is broadcast only on FM. The 31 metre shortwave transmitter appears to be off the air at present, as it has been dropped from the station ID announcements on the half hour. Dave Rogers did a whole station ID announcement in Dutch today. Programmes follow the same schedule as yesterday and newsreaders are Crispian St John and Mike Ross.

Announcements begin today for the second edition of the RNI Souvenir Book. This has 72 pages, is printed in Dutch and English and, if you order before 31 July 1971, you get a free colour poster of the Mebo 2, an enlargement of the book’s front cover. The price is 10 guilders or the equivalent in your own currency.

 

Wednesday 14 July 1971

The medium wave and 49 metre shortwave transmitters return to the air at 6.00 this morning. The 31 metre band transmitter returns to the air at 16.00 on 9935KHz. Engineer Kurt Baer returns to the Mebo 2 today.

In reply to Dave Rogers doing a station ID announcement in Dutch yesterday, Hans ten Hooge does one entirely in English during the morning programme today. There is a mobile discotheque show today featuring Joost de Draaier and Mark Stuart. Evening news is read by Crispian St John and Mike Ross.

 

Thursday 15 July 1971

Crispian St John and Hans ten Hooge go off on the tender and Mark Stuart and Joost Verhoeven return, along with Alan West, who has got married during his shore leave. International service programmes now become:

16.00 Mike Ross

18.00 Alan West

20.00 Mark Stuart

22.00 Stevi Merike

24.00 – 3.00 Dave Rogers

Newsreaders are Dave Rogers and Mike Ross. Alan West finds that he has brought back to the Mebo 2 a ticket to a barbecue that his wife will need, but he tells her to go anyway and, if the organisers don’t let her in, he’ll get stroppy. A mobile discotheque today features Peter Holland and Crispian St John.

 

Friday 16 July 1971

Today is Alan West’s birthday, so the other DJs on board sing him Happy Birthday at 22.00. Leo van der Goot takes over the morning Jan Van Veen show, now that Hans ten Hooge is on shore leave. 

After asking for ping pong balls on a programme a few weeks ago, Mike Ross is astounded to find that somebody has sent him 4lb of them. Ferry Maat and Crispian St John are the Djs for today’s mobile discotheque and Dave Rogers and Mike Ross are this evening’s newsreaders.
