Many thanks to Brian Long for sending us a cutting from the issue of Record Retailer magazine dated 23rd June 1966. It includes Radio Caroline's Top 50 for 25th June although something seems to have gone wrong. There are numerous duplicate positions listed. We have marked these with an *. See the note below.

* There appears to have been a mistake either at Record Retailer or at Caroline House. Nine positions have two records listed in each place and, in each case, one is the record that was in that position last week. We think that the one from last week should have been deleted but maybe someone forgot. They do not appear in the Stonewashed Collection listing. We have put them in italics.



The Radio London Fab 40 for the same weekend can be found on the Radio London web site.
 
Radio City's City Sixty for this week can be found here, the Swinging Radio England ‘Boss 40’ is here and the Radio 270 Top 40 is here.
