There are several songs that appear in one place on the printed list, yet are announced with different positions on the air. The corrections are as follows: "Martian Hop" (#21 on the printed playlist) is not played. Instead, "Part Time Love" is played and announced on the air as #21 (instead of #23). "I Can't Stay Mad at You" is played and announced on the air as #23 (rather than #27, as it appears on the printed list). "Why Don't You Believe Me" is not played (it appears as #25 on the printed playlist). "I'll Take You Home" is played and announced on the air as #25 (instead of #29). "More," which is #26 on the printed list, is not played. Replacing it at #26 is "The Grass is Greener" (instead of at #30). "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by Peter, Paul & Mary (Warner Brothers) is played and announced on the air as #27.
