* 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.
