next up another mystery page entry, I think it's possibly a Luxembourg part chart from earlier in the year 1972
30. Argent - Hold Your Head Up 29. Peter Straker - Hands Of Dr. Tillany 28. Les Crane - desiderata 27. Melanie - Brand New Key 26. Partridge Family - It's One Of Those Nights 25. Bread - Baby I'm A Want You 24. - Loving You Ain't Easy The last one is a brilliant beatles-esque minor hit, long-forgotten by Pagliaro. The Partridge track is written b y Tony Romeo, as were most of their best songs (and a Brotherhood Of Man goodie, Oh Boy The Mood Im In), Bread were churning out classic song after classic song at this time, Argent brilliant stuff (Fluff Freeman played it months earlier so it had made myc harts the year before), Les Crane, well, lets not be unkind... So that leaves Peter Straker, I recall it had sweeping strings, instrumental in large parts (or all of it) and I really wanted it. I still have no tape or vinyl version, and these are the sort of obscurities that have yet to appear on online sites for sale. Doh! |

penultimately, I have one more I cant match with BBC charts (I used to note the BBC charts on tuesdays if I could catch it, and assumed the rest in the pad were all them) - its a few bits no bobs:
21 Hollies 22 Fortunes 23 Slade 24 CCS 25 Neil Young 26 Chiffons 27 New Seekers 28 Badfinger 29 Olivia Newton John 30 Chi-Lites so, maybe thats a bonus Luxembourg part chart. Ive also got one more complete chart predating the other 1972 full charts which I think is also a luxembourg chart (amazing grace at 1) so I'll run that one to close this thread later in the week:) Though I think there 1973/74 charts on the web already I may just have a quick cross-check with mine as I have complete runs of 73/74 - I switched to anew note pad, BBC on the front, luxembourg on the back so its all methodically listed. pity (sort of) they arent needed!:) |

...and so the final one: very little info, and it tails off into just artists as it got late (I'm guessing) but i'm thinking its the BBC chart with Ramsey Lewis, Hurricane Smith, Paul Simon just outside the top 30.
30 Oh Babe What Would You Say - Hurricane Smith 29. It's One Of Those Nights - Partridge Family 28. Hold Your Head Up - Argent 27. Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard - Paul Simon 26. Wade In The Water - Ramsey Lewis 25. I Am What I Am - Greyhound 24. Alone Again - Gilbert O'Sullivan 23. at the club - Drifters 22. Heart of gold - Neal Young 21. Beg Steal or Borrow - New Seekers 20. Runnin' Away - Sly & Family Stone 19. Beautiful Sunday - Daniel Boone 18. Open Up - Mungo Jerry 17. Take A look Around - Temptations 16. Rocket Man - Elton John 15. Crying Laughing Loving Lying - Labi Siffre 14. Without You - Nilsson 13. Tumbling Dice - Rolling Stones 12. Johnny Nash 11. David Cassidy 10. Johnny Cash 9. Marmalade 8. Jo Jo Gunne 7. Chiffons 6. T.Rex 5. Fortunes 4. Elvis Presley 3. Ringo Starr 2. Vicky L 1. RSDGB the last 2 were basically scribble, so I must have been half asleep... songs to the last few can be deduced from previous postings. Hope that was fun! |
