Nope. Those issues/charts are in our private Record Research collection. ]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2021 10:39:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7031&PID=59185&title=the-gavin-report-airplay-charts#59185 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7031&PID=59183&title=the-gavin-report-airplay-charts#59183 Author: MikeM

The problem is, nobody seems to have the old issues. We have every issue starting with March 27, 1981. If you guys know of ANYBODY with ANY issues prior to that, please let me know! Doesn't even have to be the full issue, just a copy of the Top 40 chart would be sufficient.

Good news! We FINALLY found a near complete collection of The Gavin Report going all the way back to 1958!

Hopefully a new research project that will eventually be turned into another Record Research book in the near
future.]]> Fri, 10 Sep 2021 10:55:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7031&PID=59112&title=the-gavin-report-airplay-charts#59112 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7031&PID=51562&title=the-gavin-report-airplay-charts#51562 Author: Paul Haney

Thanks to Kerry Jackson, we have now tracked down about
120 issues from the 1970s (including all but one issue
from 1976). At first glance, I'm noticing a lot of
agreement, but also some major differences with the Radio
& Records charts from the same period. Come on, I know
there's GOT to be somebody with some more issues out there
somewhere!

Bill Gavin lined up music weekly for The Lucky Lager Dance Time radio program circa 1955 until that program folded later in the 50s. Does anybody know any of these music program sheets logs cues can be found?
