De hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer op 31 is een oud plaatje van de Tams dat opnieuw is uitgebracht : Hey girl don’t bother me. Op 34 komt het mooie Only you know and I know van Delaney and Bonnie binnen. Heel voorzichtig schuift Redbone de Top 50 binnen op nummer 45 met de Witch Queen of New-Orleans, een nummer met veel hitpotentie. Deze week twee mooie maar totaal verschillende treiterschijven, waarvan Without a worry in the world hoge ogen zal gaan gooien in de Top 50. De kanskaart van Tony Berk is een van mijn persoonlijke favorieten, werkelijk een prachtig nummer, binnenkort ook in de Top 50.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1 Uur 2 Uur 3

Als toegift deze week alle platen uit de RNI playlist, de kanskaarten, de treiterschijven en een track van de LP van de week in de vorm van een Top 16. De volledige playlist vind je onderaan deze pagina.

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 Oktober 1971.

Also Mark Stuart announces in his programme that he will be leaving RNI because he is seasick too often. News tonight is read by Paul May, Mark Stuart and Mike Ross.

The sea was too rough for the tender to pull alongside the Mebo 2 today, although it circled round the ship and items were thrown across. Dave Rogers presents Drive Time as Mark Stuart is too ill. Paul May now takes over Swinging Europe as his permanent show. Paull May, Dave Rogers and Mike Ross read the news.
