The Caroline Countdown,
Saturday 28th May 1966


Many thanks to Brian Long for sending us a cutting from the issue of Record Retailer magazine dated 26th May 1966. It includes Radio Caroline's Top 50 for 28th May. As usual, there are some slight differences between this chart and the one published on the Stonewashed Collection website.
