Description

Here it Is American Top 40 Program # 753 - 1 This show aired on my station July 5th 1975 and it was Casey's 261 consecutive show. In honor of the 5 year anniversary of American Top 40, Watermark (the producers of the show) went back to the vaults and retreived program #703 - 1 the First American Top 40 countdown that went on the air. They layed in just enough of the 1975 Casey Kasem to clue in the audience and re-timed and edited the old show. When AT 40 first came out it was delivered to the stations on big reels of tape. I don't know if those are still around, it seems to me that we had to return the tapes to Watermark after we aired them. So this show on disc is I think a valuable collectible, here is the deal.

You Get from #40 "End Of Our Road - Marvin Gaye", to #1 "Mama Told Me Not To Come - Three Dog Night" and everything in between! The countdown includes hits from Mark Lindsay, Eric Burdon, Crabby Appleton, B.J. Thomas, Aretha Franklin, John Phillps, Flaming Ember, Four Tops, Fifth Dimension, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Ray Stevens, The Impressions, Moody Blues, Stevie Wonder, Wilson Pickett, Poppy Family, Bill Cosby, Mountain, Bread, Pacific Gas & Electric, Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd Street Band, Alive and Kicking, White Plains, Miquel Rios, Louis Armstrong, Brotherhood of Man, Rare Earth, Five Stairsteps, The Pipkins, Vanity Fair, Blood Sweat & Tears, Elvis, The Beatles, The Carpenters, Melanie, Freda Payne, Blues Image, Temptations, Jackson Five and The Rolling Stones!

There are 3 discs in played once shape with no skips. The box is in good shape, there is a small split in the top edge seam of the box.

There is a reserve on this valuable piece!

Good Luck On This One AT 40 Fans!
