Thanks to Brian Long for this Record Retailer Top 50 from 15th December 1966, listing which offshore stations were playing each record. The Radio London chart is the same as the one used last week,
the one broadcast on 27th November. The Radio City chart is from 4th December and, again, is the same as the one in last week's issue. The Caroline, 270 and Radio Scotland charts are all from the weekend of 10/11
December.
