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:

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.
