De hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer is het prachtige L’aventura van Stone en Eric Chardin op nummer 21. De Monitors, Bart Jansen, de Twee Pinten, Vader Abraham, allemaal nieuw in de Top 50 om het opkomende karnaval luister bij te zetten. De Middle of the road staan nog rotsvast op nummer 1 met Sacramento. De kanskaarten zijn allemaal redelijk onbekend gebleven, dit in tegenstelling tot de treiterschijf, die je nog regelmatig op de radio hoort.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1                          Uur 2                          Uur 3

Als toegift deze week platen uit de RNI playlist, de kanskaarten, de treiterschijven en een track van de LP van de week in de vorm van een Top 17. De volledige playlist vind je onderaan deze pagina.

PLAYLIST

Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael Downing lezen uit de tijd dat deze Top 50 werd uitgezonden en daaronder een scan van een Top of the Pops LP hoes. Die LP kwam uit in Januari 1972.

Monday 31 January 1972

Newsreaders as yesterday. The programme schedule is the same as on Saturday, except programmes finish at 3.00.

 

Tuesday 1 February 1972

RNI closes at 21.00 today for technical adjustments. News up to that time is read by Brian McKenzie and Dave Rogers.

 

Wednesday 2 February 1972

RNI returns to the air at 6.00, but goes off again this evening at 21.00 for more maintenance work. News is read again by Brian McKenzie and Dave Rogers.

 

Thursday 3 February 1972

18.00 Rob Eden

20.00 – 21.00 Terry Davis

Again, RNI goes off the air at 21.00 for more work. News up to that time is read by Paul May and Brian McKenzie.

 

Friday 4 February 1972

The station returns to the air at 6.00 and reception is much improved today. The programme schedule this evening is:

18.00 Rob Eden

20.00 Terry Davis

22.00 Paul May

24.00 Brian McKenzie

3.00 – 6.00 Rob Eden

The only new record that I wrote down as having heard on RNI for the first time in the week commencing 29 January 1972 that was not a hitpick was “Drowning in a sea of love” by Joe Simon.

 

Looking back at this now, although we didn’t know it at the time, this was the week that Paul May sacked Dave Rogers and took Mike Ross off main DJ duties. Because of the early closures on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the final Dave Rogers programme was from 24.00 to 3.00 in the morning of Tuesday 1 February 1972, although he would, of course, rejoin RNI in August 1972 after Paul May had left.
