Did you know...

that The Box Tops had more than two Top Ten hits in their career?
that Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and Gene Pitney were successful into the late 60s?
that Billy Vera (of Billy and the Beaters) had a hit way back in 1968?
that KHJ's Top Thirty occasionally listed 31 songs?
that Glen Campbell, The Doors, Sammy Davis Jr, Procol Harum and Petula Clark
appeared on the survey all in the same week?
These and many other hidden facts, oddities and deep oldies
can be seen in the surveys here. Come in -- take a tour!

MOST WANTED KHJ SURVEY TYPES:
(Some issues may appear in more than one group)

1. LATE 1973 TO SPRING 1974 "Stuff I Just Missed"
Particularly, Issues #443-448; 450-457 and 459-461.
2. "GAP FILLERS": Issues 463 and 465 preferred; also #547, 555 (if it exists), 610, 620, 623, 625, 626, 629, 631, 634, 645
3. MISSING DECADIA: I am looking for *any* survey numbered in the 20s, the 290s, 360s, 370s, or 430s.
4. KEY EVENTS: Style change from plain white to psychedelia (somewhere between Issues 87-93); The term "BOSS" disused (April 14 or 21, 1971); Issue 305 (first top 10 album list); Issue 366 (final week of Tapestry on survey); Issue 610 (Show Me The Way pops up in Top Ten Songs One Year Ago Today, with its album still on the chart!)
5. ISSUES THAT COULD ANSWER QUESTIONS: 402-408 (type font change occurred); 421-439 (when did they switch to four-color rotation?); 443 and/or 444 ("OFFICIAL ISSUE" changed to "ISSUE NO."); 555 (was 554 the end of 4-color rotation?); 650 through 652 (switch from high-class to more basic strip type). Finally, was there an Issue 789 (around 10/28/80)?
6. ISSUES I LOST: 455; 457; 459; 461; 610
and, of course, ISSUE NUMBER ONE.
