Radio van Supersister is deze week de hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer op nummer 26. Alle nieuwe binnenkomers deze week zijn stuk voor stuk leuke plaatjes. Earth and Fire staat onveranderd op nummer 1 met Memories. Op 45 staat Judee Sill met Jesus was a crossmaker. Een nummer dat je heden te dage werkelijk nergens meer hoort. Helaas overleed Judee op vrij jonge leeftijd (35 jaar) aan een overdosis drugs.

De treiterschijf van deze week behoort tot mijn persoonlijke favorieten, Taos New Mexico van R. Dean Taylor. Ferry heeft deze week een hele mooie uitgekozen als kanskaart : I need you van America.

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 MP van Mei 1972.

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this period

After the changes in the DJ line up of the Dutch service at the beginning of May 1972, the rest of May and June saw no more changes to the DJ team. Arguably the summer of 1972 was RNI’s most successful period – the Dutch service was by now well established and the decision by the Dutch government to close down the offshore stations was still a year away.

Saturday 27 May 1972

There was a heavy storm last night, so, despite promos announcing that RNI was to go 24 hours a day over the bank holiday weekend, there is no early morning programme this morning. The medium wave and FM transmitters return to the air at 6.00, but the 49 metre shortwave band transmitter remains off the air all day. International service programmes are:

19.00 Paul May (International Prediction Hit 40)

22.00 Brian McKenzie (Reviews)

23.00 Brian McKenzie (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 Tony Allan

3.00 – 7.00 Rob Eden

Two mobile discotheques today – one with Alfred Lagarde and Ferry Maat and the other with Tony Berk and somebody in place of the advertised Brian McKenzie, who is still on board the Mebo 2 today.

Sunday 28 May 1972

The shortwave transmitter remains off the air today and medium wave transmissions are very weak. Tony Berk has an interview with Anita Kerr on his programme. Tonight’s programmes are:

19.00 Brian McKenzie (Hitback Show)

21.00 Tony Allan

23.00 Tony Allan (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 Paul May

3.00 – 6.00 Rob Eden

Most of the hitbacks in tonight’s hitback show come from 1967. No Cloud Nine programme between 21.00 and 23.00 tonight. Instead Tony Allan features David Cassidy’s LP “Cherish”.

Monday 29 May 1972

Nico Steenbergen leaves on the tender and Leo van der Goot returns, meaning that Leo takes over on Driemaster from 17.00 to 19.00. Shortwave transmissions return during the day. Tonight’s programmes:

19.00 Paul May

21.00 Brian McKenzie

23.00 Rob Eden (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 – 3.00 Tony Allan

Newsreaders are Tony Allan and Paul May.

Tuesday 30 May 1972

No tender today, so programmes tonight are:

23.00 Tony Allan (Kent Request Hour)

24.00 – 3.00 Brian McKenzie

Wednesday 31 May 1972

RNI closes at midnight tonight, so the International service is curtailed, as follows:

21.00 Brian McKenzie

23.00 Tony Allan (Kent Request Hour)

Paul May and Tony Allan are tonight’s newsreaders.

Friday 2 June 1972

Hans ten Hooge takes over Ochtendeditie this morning. International service programmes are the same as last night, although the station goes off the air for 30 minutes at 20.00 in the Terry Davis show for maintenance. Rob Eden hosts the early morning show from 3.00 to 6.00 on Saturday morning and features the Beatles’ “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, which is now five years old. A mobile discotheque today features Tony Berk and Ferry Maat, with a live appearance by Oscar Harris and the Twinkle Stars.
