Swinging Radio England Boss 40, 2nd July 1966

This Radio England Boss 40 came from a chart collector called Hans Blaauwbroek but he didn't originate it. In fact he can't remember where he got it from but he passed it on to Mary Payne who kindly shared it with us. Our thanks to Hans, Mary and the unknown person who took the trouble to save it in the first place.

THE BOSS JOCK PICK OF THE WEEK

With A Girl Like You
The Troggs
 

* It is unclear if it is “Monday Monday” or the follow-up, I Saw Her Again, in this position. The latter is written down but the former is more logical. Both tracks feature on next week's chart.
 
** Whoever wrote this chart down recorded this track as “Give Up” by Jerry Diamond. We can't find a single of that name. The closest we have is an American release by Gerri Diamond from late '65/early '66 called “Give Up On Love”. It is available on YouTube. Can anyone confirm if this song was played on Radio England?



The links from the songs on this page lead to the Amazon MP3 Store where you can hear short audio clips of the tracks and customers in the UK can buy downloads. Please see this note.
