* On the recording Paul plays Sylvia's Mother as number 18 but radiopedia.nl lists another Dr Hook track, Carry Me Carrie, in that position. However the latter song was not released as a single in the UK until September 1972, October in the Netherlands, so is unlikely to have been on this March chart.
 
** Disc jockey Barry Martin is still getting Hit Picks assigned to him (see 4th March 1972) but hasn't yet arrived on the ship. As far as we know, he never did.
