Per Arne Berggren has very kindly provided a couple of incomplete Swinging Radio England charts (the other one is here). Those positions marked with an # have been identified with the help of Record Retailer magazine's comparison of the various offshore charts for this week (see here). A number of others have been identified by Brian Thompson (marked ^) or Kees Brinkerink (marked +) who have been listening to old off-air recordings. Kees has 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. Can anyone provide the rest of this chart? |

i) Per noted Petula Clark at number 10 but Record Retailer's analysis of that week's offshore charts has
You Can't Hurry Love by The Supremes at that position. Maybe a last minute change of mind?
|
Many thanks to Per A Berggren, Kees Brinkerink and Brian Thompson. Can anyone fill in the blanks or clarify the uncertainties?
