Last Sunday's was from 10/31/1970.
I am recording Kasem at midnight tonight. Not sure what year it is from.

Not a bad show, but I do wonder why some of the songs sounded like it came from a cassette tape and not vinyl.
I don't think Sirius/XM is doing anything with these recordings other than airing what the syndication company (Premiere) provides. So, yeah, some of the music is probably not up to "today's" standards. I'm guessing that some of these recordings were not preserved all that well. Back in the 70s, AT40 was distributed on vinyl, and was supposed to be returned to the distributor after airing.
Last Sunday's was from 12/4/71. Seems like they have been playing early 70's lately. (at least more than in the past)
