Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 8th September 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. The Radio London, Caroline and City charts are all from the weekend of 3/4 September. The Radio 270 chart is the same as last week's - 28th August. We don't know the dates of the Radios England and Scotland charts. |
