Description
Likely CONTENTS — Feb. 16, 1987
This date falls right in the early 1987 CHR (Top 40) era, so the playlist pool is very well known from Billboard charts and other Rick Dees programs.
🔥 Major hits in rotation (Feb 1987)
These songs were charting or heavily requested at that exact time, and would almost certainly appear across that week’s shows:
Livin' on a Prayer – Bon Jovi
Open Your Heart – Madonna
At This Moment
Keep Your Hands to Yourself
Shake You Down
Will You Still Love Me? – Chicago
Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
Jacob's Ladder
Land of Confusion
Somewhere Out There
👉 These reflect Billboard Hot 100 Top 10–20 titles mid-February 1987, which formed the backbone of Dees’ request-driven shows.
🧩 Typical episode structure (Feb 16 show)
A Monday edition like Feb. 16, 1987 would likely include:
⏱️ Segment flow
Opening
Theme + Dees intro
Quick comedy bit or prank setup
Request blocks
Listener dedications (romantic, long-distance, etc.)
2–3 current hits per segment
Feature / bit
“Battle of the Sexes”-style humor or call montage
Possibly a celebrity plug/interview
Power play ending
“Most requested song of the day” (often a #1 hit)
🎯 Most likely #1 request (that week)
Based on chart dominance mid-February 1987:
➡️ Livin' on a Prayer
is the strongest candidate for the closing “most requested” record.
📦 Distribution details (for collectors)
Shipped weekly on 5 LPs (one per weekday)
Shows were pre-recorded (“faux-live”)
Often preserved in private trading circles, but:
Feb. 16, 1987 specifically has not been widely circulated
⚠️ Bottom line
❌ No confirmed full cue sheet currently documented online
✅ But we can say with high confidence:
It followed the request-driven format
It featured Top 40 hits from mid-February 1987
It ended with a major chart-topper request (likely Bon Jovi)
GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
