Britain's Top 50, 3rd November 1966

Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 3rd November 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. The Caroline, City, England and London charts are those broadcast over 29/30 October. The Radio 270 and Radio Scotland charts appear to be the same ones the magazine published the previous week.
