Britain's Top 50, 10th November 1966

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.
