Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 30th March 1967, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. Radio City had closed the previous month and for some reason the Radio
Scotland chart is no longer listed - just London, Caroline and 270. All three charts were broadcast over the weekend of 26/27 March.
