Except for the LENNON/MCCARTNEY penned number 30 hit, for the SILKIE and of course MATT MONRO`s cover of YESTERDAY. Easy listening ruled the chart with ANDY WILLIAMS and our very own KEN DODD...If you have ever seen Ken (Live), you will know he does about 3 and a half hours, all in one evening!! Its almost morning when you get home! HEDGEHOPPERS ANONYMOUS produced by one JONATHON KING climbing to number 8...putting in mind a 60s concert, I saw recently. On the bill it stated HEDGEHOPPERS ANONMYMOUS play their greatest hits. Despite only having just one! And in this lot I saw, they weren`t actually any of the original members at all!! It was set up by a concert manager, who picked 4 singers up from the streets!! NINI ROSSO`s instrumental was based on the LAST POST, (the sombre death piece). The SMALL FACES were falling with their first hit, and HORST JANKOWSKI`s instrumental, did not include gateau!! Bubbling Under... 31 THAT MEANS A LOT - PJ PROBY got to 26 32 BUT YOU`RE MINE - SONNY AND CHER got to 17 33 THE CARNIVAL IS OVER - SEEKERS got to 1 34 JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER - HERMANS HERMITS got to 14 35 WHEN I GET HOME - SEARCHERS no higher 35=I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE LOVED - NASHVILLE TEENS no higher 38 SHAME AND SCANDAL IN THE FAMILY - LANCE PERCIVAL got to 34 Careers on the slide for, PJ PROBY (best known for splitting his trousers on stage), THE SEARCHERS and THE NASHVILLE TEENS...LANCE PERCIVAL (a actor/comedian/voiceover man with a comic song based on an almost reggae piece...with words like "You can`t marry that girl, coz that girl is your sister, but your mummy don`t know"!! New Releases... 1 2 3 - LEN BARRY SOMETHING - GEORGIE FAME MY GENERATION - THE WHO YESTERDAY - MARIANNE FAITHFUL YOU`RE THE ONE - PETULA CLARK A LOVERS CONCERT0 - THE TOYS KANSAS CITY STAR - ROGER MILLER HOME OF THE BRAVE - JODY MILLER The GEORGIE FAME track was not the same as the BEATLES/SHIRLEY BASSEY number. MARIANNE FAITHFUL also covered the BEATLES "YESTERDAY"...This song had been offered to BILLY J KRAMER by PAUL MCCARTNEY....but Billy turned it down. A thing he lived to regret, because his career was going pearshaped. JODY MILLER`s new release was well played on pirate radio, but was only a ver small minor hit. Was she related to ROGER?? No, she was not! The top tv in Oct 65... 01 CORONATION ST WEDS 8.4 02 RIVIERA POLICE 8M 03 TAKE YOUR PICK 7.8 04 LOVE STORY 7.7 05 DOUBLE YOUR MONEY 7M 06 CLIFF RICHARD/SHADOWS 6.8 07 EMERGENCY WARD TEN 6.5 THUR 08 BLACK MAIL 09 THE BIG VALLEY 10 CINEMA 6.3 11 RETURN OF STEPTOE 12 UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE 6.1 13 THE WORKER 14 CORONATION ST MON 5.8 15 NEW PALLADIUM SHOW 16 ALL OUR YESTERDAYS 5.7 17 EMERGENCY WARD TEN FRI 18 THE MAN FROM UNCLE 19 FOUR OF HEARTS 5.5 19 WORLD TONIGHT JIMMY TARBUCK was the big host in 65, with the NEW PALLADIUM SHOW...there he was 20 years later doing a similar show elsewhere! RIVIERA POLICE was a cop show, glossy crime on the french riviera, with ANTHONY VALENTINE. it was axed after 13wks..CORONATION STREET was losing a bit here, though coincidence connected in 1965, with 1991...in the Street, ELSIE TANNER was having an affair with a character called wait for it....ROBERT MAXWELL (a shady character, who got killed while driving his jaguar)...Nothing to do with the 1991 incident when the real ROBERT MAXWELL went off his boat!!! CHARLIE DRAKE played the cleaner/come attendant in THE WORKER..and only 2 BBC shows were in the top 20...THE MAN FROM UNCLE, and RETURN OF STEPTOE (STEPTOE AND SON)..CINEMA, was a review of the weeks new fim releases, introduced by MIKE SCOTT..WORLD OF SPORT was ITV`s saturday version of GRANDSTAND in its first year with EAMONN ANDREWS. JACKANORY was doing it for kids tv...TOP OF THE POPS at this point was pulling in 5m viewers a week!! As I was talking about 1991, earlier this week (and I had an email from a certain lady) on the New MRIB Chart (that I post tomorrow) I will also, have a retro top 30 from MRIB from Oct 91, as well as a look at the brand new top 30, and album chart ;)
October 19, 200717 yr Well The Beatles were only top of the LP charts with Help! Pretty poor Top 10 apart from Eve of Destruction and The Yardbirds. Edited October 19, 200717 yr by grebo69
October 19, 200717 yr Author The Beatles certainly were top of the LP Chart, but during that period, the sales were falling even for the album..Note: the BBC did not have a separate LP Chart til 69!
October 19, 200717 yr Proof that in the golden era 1964-1969 there were some weeks that were not so special I know & like: 03 03 IF YOU GOTTA GO, GO NOW - MANFRED MANN 06 14 EVIL HEARTED YOU/STILL I`M SAD - YARDBIRDS 09 20 YESTERDAY MAN - CHRIS ANDREWS 10 11 SOME OF YOUR LOVIN - DUSTY SPRINGFIELD 12 17 IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR - WILSON PICKETT (no higher) 13 07 MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF - WALKER BROTHERS 16 NE YESTERDAY - MATT MONRO 17 08 LOOK THRU ANY WINDOW - HOLLIES 18 14 WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT - SMALL FACES 19 12 SATISFACTION - ROLLING STONES 21 NE LOVE IS STRANGE - EVERLY BROTHERS (got to 11) 23 24 PAPAS GOT A BRAND NEW BAG - JAMES BROWN (no higher) 25 18 I GOT YOU BABE - SONNY AND CHER 26 19 LIKE A ROLLING STONE - BOB DYLAN PS. in reference to the lack of Beatles comments in the chart: 31 THAT MEANS A LOT - PJ PROBY was a cover of a song written my Lennon & McCartney that failed to make the Help! album and was given to PJ Proby, here is the original as featured on their Anthology 2 double album: -ZA3HgE5QNg The Beatles - That Means A Lot
October 19, 200717 yr Isnt it Ironic how a song entitled Almost There peaked at number two. My fave song from this chart If You Gotta Go Go Now by The Manfreds, one of my fave Dylan songs, I always prefer his songs that he never put out himself! i.e this wheels on fire, tambourine man etc
October 19, 200717 yr Would that be possibly because Bob Dylan, was a great songwriter but a c**p singer :D I do like Baby Stop Crying in the 70s tho.
