Swinging Radio England Fun 50, 8th October 1966

Another SRE chart provided by Terje Isberg. As previously mentioned, he was a big fan of Johnnie Walker's and would often record his late night shows to listen to the following day. Fortunately for us he has kept them. Terje writes: “I moved to Japan from Sweden at the beginning of December last year. Well, here I am sitting and waiting until my house is ready to move into. So I listened through three tapes of The Johnnie Walker Fiasco (on Swinging Radio England) from (the early hours of) 10th, 11th and 13th October 1966 and tried to patch together a Fun 50 list. Now, a couple of days later, I have managed to produce an almost complete list.”
 
We have also received a copy of the chart from Hans Blaauwbroek via Mary Payne (see note here) and correspondent Kees Brinkerink has sent us a list of “Hitbound” singles being played on the station that week which he heard played on Johnnie Walker's show of 15th October and Roger Day's of the 13th. Our thanks to all the contributors.

Beverley

A full page of the first issue of ‘Beat Wave’ was devoted to Beverley, the performer at number 45 on the Fun 50. Despite being playlisted on Radio London, Radio Caroline and Radio City, as well as Radio England, the record made no impression on the UK sales charts. Written by Randy Newman and produced by Denny Cordell, it was the first single released on Decca's ‘progressive’ Deram label. You can hear it on YouTube. The singer later enjoyed success as Beverley Martyn.
