John Aston's Collection


The Caroline Countdown Of Sound,
Saturday 24th September 1966

Some of the type has faded and the page is a bit frayed round the edges. The presenter had also added some scribbles on the page which we have removed where possible. This is what the document originally said, omitting the record label details to improve clarity. The asterisks indicate the records that are going up the chart:

There is a fascinating comparison between this Caroline Countdown Of Sound and the Big L Fab Forty for the same week on the Radio London website.
 
Radio City's City Sixty for the same week is here and the Swinging Radio England Fun 50 is here.
 
The links from the songs on this page lead to the Amazon MP3 Store where you can hear short audio clips of the tracks and customers in the UK can buy downloads. Please see this note.
 
There are a number of other offshore charts listed on The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame. Full details here.
 
The previous week's Caroline chart, also kindly provided by John Aston, is here. The next Caroline chart we have is from 14th January 1967.
