The Caroline Countdown Of Sound,
|
|
This is another rare offshore chart kindly contributed by Per Arne Berggren. It was the chart used on Radio Caroline South during its last full week of broadcasting. A new Top 50 did come into effect on Saturday 2nd March but sadly was only in use for that one day's programmes. On 3rd March the ship was towed away (see here for details). |
