The Caroline Countdown,
|
|
Many thanks to Brian Long for sending us a cutting from the issue of Record Retailer magazine, dated 5th May 1966, which includes the Radio Caroline Top 50 for 7th May. There are some differences between this chart and the one published on the Stonewashed Collection website. The magazine did not include the station's Sure Shots this week. |
