Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 6th October 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. We can confirm that the charts from Radios London, Caroline, City and England are all from the weekend of 1/2 October. The Radio 270 figures don't appear to match any chart we have but are identical to the ones published in last week's issue. We don't have a date for the Radio Scotland chart. |
