Keith Martin's Collection


The Caroline Countdown Of Sound,
Saturday 18th June 1966


Keith Martin worked for Radios Atlanta and Caroline South during 1964/65 but had left the station by 1966. He cannot remember how or why this chart came into his possession, but he has kept it for over fifty years and has now, very kindly, contributed it to The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame.
 
We have has put together a Spotify playlist of this Top 50 chart. You can find it here. Sadly a few of the songs are missing from the Spotify catalogue so it isn't quite complete but it is still a great listen and we hope it brings back good memories.


The original document had a number of hand-written notes and scribbles which we have removed where possible. This is what the page originally said, omitting the record label details to improve clarity. The asterisks indicate those records that are going up the chart:
