WDRC Weekly Music Charts Frank W Hoffmann

WDRC was a leading Top 40 AM radio outlet in the Hartford, Connecticut market during the 1960s and 1970s. This volume reproduces the station's pop music surveys issued during the 1971-1975 period. It complements two previously published editions covering the 1961-1965 and 1966-1970 charts. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
