The Caroline Countdown, Saturday 15th January 1966

Here is the Top 40 of the Caroline Countdown for 15th January 1966, as printed in Monitor Magazine's publication ‘Happy Birthday Radio Caroline - 20 Years Old, Easter 1984’. It was only in operation on Caroline South for a few days. The ship was blown ashore on the night of the 19th January.

To make it easier to read, here it is transcribed, omitting the record label details to improve clarity:
