Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 13th October 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. We can confirm that the charts from Radios London, Caroline, City, England and 270 are all from the weekend of 8/9 October. We assume the Radio Scotland chart is too. |
