I recently celebrated a birthday and as a gift received a set of 4 LPs and cue sheets from American Top 40 program #823-12, which was intended for broadcast during the weekend of September 18-19, 1982. We've already examined the two hours of the show, click below to see those breakdowns:
Disc 1: 1A/4BToday we start hour 3 with side 3A.
Disc 2: 2A/3B
Disc 3: 3A/1B
Disc 4: 4A/2B
Complete cue sheets for this episode are available here. For reasons of time, AT40 would occasionally shorten songs by removing a chorus or verse, so with each song, I'll give a comparison of the single time to the approximate playing time the song received on AT40 that week. Each side includes 3 segments, which include Casey and music followed by national ads and space for local ads.
