The Caroline Countdown,
|
|
Many thanks to Brian Long for sending us a cutting from the issue of Record Retailer magazine, dated 7th April 1966. It gives a Radio Caroline Top 50 which it says is for the week 2nd to 9th April but, according to the chart published on The Stonewashed Collection, it is actually from the following week. There are some differences between this chart and the one on the Stonewashed site. |
