*** You can now hear un-cut versions of my Chart Show recordings in full on my MixCloud channel: www.mixcloud.c...
Thanks to Richard for correctly identifying that this is actually Sunday September 7th 1980. The "official" charts website is inaccurate when it comes to identifying specific dates for these old chart shows - it doesn't allow for the Tuesday lunchtime publication date of the chart on Radio 1 during this era, which was then used on Thursday's TOTP before being broadcast on Radio 1's Sunday evening chart show. Fortunately BBC4's TOTP re-runs and other resources on-line have enabled more accurate dating!
Tony Blackburn is on fine form here, one year into his tenure of hosting "western Europe's most listened to show... the Top 40 in super stereo on VHF"!
Apologies that I don't have the start of the show or even the first few links - in fact I was surprised to find this recording at all as I'd given up regular taping of the Radio 1 chart show at the end of 1978.
On the plus side, I had a much better stereo set-up by this date and so the recording is pretty high quality. As Tony would say: "Lovely to have you with us"!

Thanks for watching - and listening! :)

I love all those clicks from the start up of those record players -Gates?- and cart machines. Bring back analogue!

Great chart to have captured. I've always thought that 1979 and 1980's number ones were of the highest quality (if you ignore the 80 Xmas chart topper!!!) So much excellent stuff was else where to be found in the Top 40 :-)

Glad you enjoyed it! There's something a bit surreal when the recordings are this clear - hearing this chart from 30+ years ago one day, then listening to Tony live on Radio 2's "Pick of the Pops" the next...

Tony signed off by saying he was next on with Junior Choice. He much later (a couple of decades later) commented that he hated doing Junior Choice.

It would have been nice to hear at least audio snippets of #16 and #12.

Only reason why it was Western Europe’s most listened-to show - especially in the days when it was broadcast on both Radios 1 & 2 - is because there were very few alternatives - it was also relayed by BBC local radio stations in those days and Radios 3 & 4 only had classical music or the news - even when it became exclusive to Radio 1 around 1978, it was broadcast on the FM network normally the home of Radio 2 and some local stations broadcast it - Radio 2 had Charlie Chester and 3 & 4 classical music and whatever Radio 4 had - most commercial radio stations had their own version of the chart, compiled by one of the general music magazines - Record Business or Melody Maker or New Musical Express - or a chart for their area!

Pedantry alert - you're a week off I think. Should be 31st August 1980. www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19800831/7501/

Hi Retro Split. If you read the text/description that accompanies this upload then you'll see why the video title was changed to September 7th. The "Official Charts" are always a week out with this era as they don't take into account the Tuesday chart publication day, used on TOTP the following Thursday, with the Chart Show transmitted the folowing Sunday. This issue has come up before with my 1970's chart show uploads where my hand-writing of the tranmission dates on my TDK C120 cassette collection doesn't lie! Hope this info helps.
