    That's a great effort by Middlesex to chase down 366 to win their match against Kent, with just one over and two wickets to spare. Four day county cricket at its best.

  7. 29th April - 5th May 1965 26. Wonderful World - Herman's Hermits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp6L6j7NiR0 Herman's Hermits' tribute to Sam Cooke is slightly faster than his original version but doesn't really add anything new to it. 31. I've Been Wrong Before - Cilla Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-vr-NqZ3w Quite a delicate song written by Randy Newman with some lovely piano playing. Cilla sings it well except for the part where she has to raise her voice. After four consecutive top 10 hits, this one will only get as high as number 17. 35. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxjIBEZvx0 The lyrics come gushing out quickly in what has become one of Bob Dylan's best known songs with its iconic video filmed in a London alley near to the Savoy hotel. 39. Something Better Beginning - The Honeycombs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5NjIzs-WBU The brass section do most of the work here, filling in the gaps between each line. The song was OK but, like their previous single, will only be a minor hit. 40. Come On Over To My Place - The Drifters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmRRBHNo4ZU Just two weeks after the last Drifters song comes another one. It has a joyful sound to it and is quite familiar to me, probably because it was a top 10 hit when re-issued in 1972. Record of the week : 36. Love Her - The Walker Brothers This is a special chart as it was the week in which I was born so I'm pleased that there was some competition for the record of the week. Looking at the contenders before I listened to them, I was expecting it to be the Bob Dylan single but I'm choosing a song I have never heard before by a group whose songs which I do know are big favourites of mine. The bombastic production on this one is just my sort of thing with the big deep drum sound and the harpsichord standing out along with a towering vocal from Scott Walker. The song was first recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1963. The Walker Brothers' first hit will spend five weeks in the 30s before eventually climbing to its peak of number 20.
  8. Arsenal 2-1 PSG Barcelona 1-0 Inter Milan

  14. 22nd - 28th April 1965 35. Where Are You Now - Jackie Trent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg6TLYWiBGU This was released following demand from the viewers of the police drama series 'It's Dark Outside' in which it featured and went all the way to number 1. It has a hotel lounge sort of sound to it with the strings adding a bit of melodrama. 37. A Little You - Freddie And The Dreamers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcP6Cl955lo This will be the last of their seven top 40 hits and they do seem to be going through the motions in this clip with no comical dance routine. The song was OK but could have been recorded by anyone. The group will carry on until the year 2000. Record of the week : 19. A World Of Our Own - The Seekers This is the best of this week's three new entries. I enjoyed Judith Durham's lead vocal and the lyrics about shutting the rest of the world out for a while. The follow-up to their chart topper 'I'll Never Find Another You' will reach a peak of number 3.
