Okay, I have done a pretty good job with show numbers from 1974 right through to 1987. Classic Countdown helped a lot, you'd think they'd know.. I have also used Troy's list of shows and information.

I recently saw an old Weekend Magazine from 1975 (see below) which highlighted the 50th Show, which had Daryl Braithwaite and Shirley Strachan as hosts together. I have that as show number 49 ..... ahhhhh! Where have I gone wrong?



Firstly, there were 8 shows in 1974 .... right?

Show 1 - 8/11/74 - Grant Goldman
Show 2 - 15/11/74 - Richard Coombe
Show 3 - 23/11/74 - Ric Melbourne
Show 4- 29/11/74 - John O'Donnell
Show 5 - 06/12/74 - Ivan Walker
Show 6 - 19/12/74 - John Farnham & Suzi Quatro
Show 7 - 20/12/74 - Graham Strachan
Show 8 - 27/12/74 - Daryl Braithwaite

The first (colour broadcast) show from 1975 was show no. 9 hosted by John Farnham. And then I have the following ...

Show 9 - 01/03/75 – John Farnham
Show 10 - 09/03/75 – Shirley Strachan
