De hoogste nieuwe
binnenkomer op nummer 37 is Mexican Bandido van Old Shatterhand. Hetzelfde
deuntje wordt gebruikt voor de Wrangler reklames. Op 44 komt Uche Uche van Vader
Abraham binnen, ook deze werd gebruikt voor een reklame op RNI. Op 47
verwelkomen we Judge Dread met z’n Big Six, ook voor RNI heeft-ie nog een
Big-X versie opgenomen. Donna van Ten CC wordt deze week van de eerste plaats
verstoten voor de Block Buster van de Sweet. De kanskaart van Tony Berk van
de Bubbles komt me heel erg bekend voor, echter ik heb geen idee waarvan. Wie
weet waar dit nummer voor gebruikt is (een reklame of zo)? De Amersfoortse
Hans vd Hoek zingt deze week de Kanskaart van Driemaster vol met Botch-a-me. 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 Februari 1973 en daaronder een paar scans uit de ME
van Februari 1973. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for February 1973 The International service Top 30 from
20.00 to 22.00 on Friday 9 February 1973 was presented by Mark Slate. Since
he had arrived on the Mebo 2 in December 1972, Mark
had become the usual host for the Top 30 show when Mike Ross was on shore
leave, but would present it for the final time on 9 February 1973, as he was
on the point of leaving RNI, to be replaced the following week by Steve King,
who had an even shorter stay on RNI, lasting for only one tour of duty. The
International Top 30 in 1973 was fairly closely based on the official British
chart, but there was usually room for a few tracks that weren’t UK hits. The
highest placed of these on 9 February 1973 was “Dreidel”
by Don McLean at no. 10, which was a hit in Holland but not in the UK, and
there was also “Zimmerman Blues” by Ralph McTell at
no.24. This was a favourite track of the English
speaking offshore stations at the time, being played a lot on Radio Caroline
and featuring in their Big 3, which was as close as the English service of
Radio Caroline got to a chart at the beginning of 1973. Mark Slate was one of a number of DJs
introduced to RNI by Don Allen, who was programme
controller of the International service at the time and who had worked with
Mark on Radio Caroline North. Mark only stayed with RNI for two months. On the Dutch service, there were no
changes in February 1973. The breakfast programme, Buitengaats, was presented on alternate weeks by Marc van
Amstel and Gerard Smit
and then Peter Holland, Tony Berk and Ferry Maat followed on weekdays until Driemaster
at 16.00 with Leo van der Goot
and Alfred Lagarde on alternate weeks. The Dutch
service was completed by Nico Steenbergen
from 18.00 to 20.00. Apart from Don Allen, Mike Ross and Mark Slate, the
International service team at the beginning of February 1973 included Brian
McKenzie and Arnold Layne. The Super Hit 50 on Saturday 10 February
1973 was presented, as usual, by Ferry Maat. The
Dutch service playlist for the week commencing 10 February 1973 included
records by two Dutch acts that would eventually have hits, but not for a
couple of years – Husky and John Russell. I remember the John Russell record,
“You can always get another wife”, well, but have completely forgotten “Nitemare” by Husky. |
