In the summer of ‘81 my folks and I vistited family in Atlanta. Z93 was my cousin’s favorite station. I specifically remember listening to #AT40 as we left town. I know it was this week beaches I remember Double Dutch Bus at #30

I got a little excited thinking Freda Payne was sending me a thank-you message for listening to Band of Gold four times - but the clip had no audio

My introduction to Steve Cropper was in the Blues Brothers. My first internet purchase was for this Best of Booker T. & the M.G.’s CD Johnny Taylor-Wanted CD. The latter has one of my favorite Cropper co-compositions: Just The One I’ve Been Looking For (an uncharted b-side).
Rest easy, Steve
Rest easy, Steve

Early this afternoon, before hearing Chubby Tavares had passed, during an oil change I walked to a local record store (Lou’s - here since 1980) & bought just these two albums #AT40

One of my holy grails I doubt I’ll ever pick up is this US original variant on the purple & brown label. It only came from one pressing plant in Indianapolis - many think Atco labels were mistakenly used

I got this copy of I Never Cry from Santa in 1976 while visiting my grandparents. My older brother & older cousin thought it would be funny to blast the flip side on the giant console. The adults were not amused. #AT40

In December Heart’s label Mushroom Records placed this ad in Rolling Stone, which pissed off the Wilson Sisters enough to break out of their contract & bolt to CBS/Portrait less than a year after they first debuted on the charts #AT40

I wanted so badly to like every Brady Bunch reunion, but they were all disappointing, with the exception of the renovation of the house used in exterior shots that ran recently on HGTV #AT40

I was always really curious about the disc included in the Sound+Vision box that contained the Ashes To Ashes video. I never saw a player for a 4.7” disc containing video content before the launch of the DVD.
This passage in Wikipedia’s history of CD-Video (format used in S+V box) amuses me
