AT40 the 70s April 28th 2012

This week there are 2 verisons of the broadcast and depending on where you listen you will either get the originally scheduled April 28th 1979 or the newly added special from March 25th 1972.  That broadcast had guest host, the legendary Dick Clark.  This should be great to hear since we dont get any of the special guest host episodes on the normal broadcast shows.
I will bring both countdowns from the 70s and then the AT40 the 80s which is from April 26th 1980.

Stay tuned!
