	Really interesting show. I note the comment about the UK charts and the books that they mentioned briefly that are "full of spelling mistakes". Yes, some really are! But the new series from Graham Betts (I'll link to one) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Graham-Betts/s? rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3AGraham+Betts. (Tried to link but it doesn't want to do that for me) and he does try and ensure that everything is spelt correctly. I've also tried to do that with my own books. It is really hard, so hats of to you, Joel and all at Record Research (I own well over 20 of the Record Research books) for the level of detail! Edited by kingofskiffle

	BTW the Billy Joel song "Rosalinda's Eyes" that was mentioned during the radio show did get played on Miami radio back in 1979 on the adult contemporary station back in 1979 (101.5 Lite FM which is still on the air). Surprised that Columbia never released the song as a single. Enjoyed listening to the show (as I do weekly). Ron plays tons of cool and obscure songs/versions.
