Op nummer 14 zien we
als hoogste nieuwe deze week de Sweet met Block Buster. Er komen deze week
een paar mooie platen de Top 50 binnen zoals Celluloid Heroes van de Kinks,
You’re so vain van Carly Simon en Love Story van Nino Tempo en April Stevens.
De Osmonds staan nog steeds onveranderd op nummer 1 met Crazy Horses. De
treiterschijf klinkt als een kerstplaatje, wat aan de late kant lijkt me.
Nico Steenbergen heeft een dijk van een plaat verkozen tot kanskaart : If you
hold my hand van Donna Hightower. De LP van de week is van Stealers Wheel, ik
heb ‘m zelf toen ook gekocht. Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren: Als toegift deze week alle platen uit de RNI playlist,
de kanskaarten, de treiterschijven en twee tracks van de LP van de week in de
vorm van een Top 40. De volledige playlist vind je onderaan deze pagina. Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael
Downing lezen aan RNI in Januari 1973 en daaronder een paar scans uit de ME
van Januari 1973. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for January 1973 The last two months of 1972 had seen the
Dutch service consist of only programmes recorded
on land, with the only live output being the news. Leo van der Goot presented the
breakfast show and was followed on weekdays by Peter Holland, Tony Berk, Ferry Maat, Alfred Lagarde on Driemaster and
finally Nico Steenbergen
from 18.00 to 20.00, when the reinstated International service commenced.
That was to change, however, at the beginning of 1973, when Driemaster went back to being a live programme,
presented on alternate weeks by Leo van der Goot and Alfred Lagarde. The
breakfast show also became a live programme again,
but under a new name – “Buitengaats” – rather than
“Ochtendeditie” as it had been called in 1972. The
presenter of Buitengaats at this time was either
Gerard Smit or Marc van Amstel,
depending on which one was on board. Rob Eden, who had been on board the Mebo 2 in December 1972 and over the Christmas period,
went back to working behind the scenes in January 1973 and was not heard on
the air again for several months. The International service DJs were now Don
Allen (the Programme Director), Mike Ross, Brian
McKenzie, Arnold Layne and Mark Slate. The programmes
on the International service became less international in their choice of
music in 1973, with the International Top 30 consisting almost entirely of
records from the UK and USA, whereas its processor, the International
Prediction Hit 40, had included a lot of records from Holland and other
European countries. The Top 30 was not all UK hits, however – in the week
commencing Friday, 19 January 1973, there were records in the RNI Top 30 from
Jon Pertwee (“Who is the doctor” – a much played
record on RNI at the time), the O’Jays, Fanny, Neil
Diamond, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, Barclay James Harvest, Carole King,
America, Hurricane Smith and the Raspberries that did not make the official
UK chart. But the International service programmes
for the week commencing 19 January 1973 were not entirely without music from
Europe – the hitpicks for the week of Don Allen (“Mijn ABC” by Sylviane) and Arnold
Layne (“Sylvia” by Focus) made sure of that. |
