Britain's Top 50, 27th October 1966

Britain's Top 50, 27th October 1966

Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 27th October 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. The Radio London chart appears to be the same one as they used last week, dated 16th October, but the Caroline, City, England and 270 charts are all from the weekend of 22/23 October. We don't have a date for the Radio Scotland chart.
