Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 10th November 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. For some reason the magazine re-printed the London, City and England charts it had used the previous week, those broadcast over the weekend of 29/30 October. The Caroline and Radio 270 charts are from the weekend of 5/6 November. We don't have a date for the Radio Scotland chart but it is not the same one they published in the two previous issues. |
