The City Sixty, 1st - 8th May 1966


As before, the original document only lists the song titles not the artists. We have attempted to fill in the gaps but, in some cases, have had to make an educated guess about which track is being referred to. If you spot any mistakes, please get in touch.

* Next week's chart gives two records a ‘last week's position’ of no.6, the She Trinity track listed above and “Wild Thing” by The Troggs. However correspondent Gareth Jones suggests this might be a mistake and that it might have actually been a late addition at number 60, along with Angela & the Fans (better known as Alma Cogan). See the note with next week's chart.
