Swinging Radio England Fun 50, 15th October 1966

Per Arne Berggren very kindly provided a couple of incomplete Swinging Radio England charts (the other one is here).
 
We have added to it with the help of Record Retailer magazine's comparison of the various offshore charts for this week (see here), as well as Brian Thompson and Kees Brinkerink who had been listening to old off-air recordings. We also received a chart from Hans Blaauwbroek via Mary Payne (see note here). All their contributions have been merged to create the chart below.
 
Kees also provided a list of the new releases he heard played on three Roger Day shows (15th, 17th and 18th October). Our thanks to them all.

* The unknown person who wrote down the chart which ended up in Hans Blaauwbroek's possession didn't give a title for no.26, just the artist: Fleu-de-Lys. Their “Mud In Your Eye” was released on 4th November 1966 so seems the most likely song. Can anyone confirm it?
 
** Swinging Radio England started playing Sunshine Superman way ahead of it becoming available in the UK. The single wasn't released in Britain until 2nd December 1966, five months after the USA.
