Appletree1 SUBS 6th Jun 2020 | ![](//images.45worlds.com/t/78/bill-lee-and-brothers-lament-mgm-78-t.jpg) | 78 RPMBill Lee And Brothers - Lament / Goin' Co'tin' | If you search for the film release date in the UK on Google it tells you the 15 September 1954. But on the IMDB it states 23 December 1954.
Due to the January 1955 release of the records I think the 23 December would be the correct release date of the film in the UK. Afteral it makes sense to release the records when the film was out rather than several months before it's release!

Appletree1 SUBS 14th Apr 2020 | ![](//images.45worlds.com/t/78/lee-lawrence-never-decca-78-t.jpg) | 78 RPMLee Lawrence - Never / Only Fools | The Missing Chart book is based on distribution of records not actual sales like in other chart books and charts. Records were sent out to the shops in the first week or second week of each month, so that's what the book shows. The book shows what was sent out to the shops in large numbers. Now of course that doesn't reflect what people purchased. You can see this at Christmas time in the book, when all the Christmas songs are being sent out. But in the first chart of the New Year all distribution of the Christmas songs stops. Of course the public would still be purchasing them at least for about two weeks after Christmas.
I agree about the sides of the record. The author often lists the B side instead of the A. They even made a CD of the top sellers in the book. But many of these Number One hits are the B side that when played to older people who were around in the 40's and 50's they don't recognise. But when the correct side is played they do! Often the A side it's the song that was in the sheet music charts of the time. Where the B side in the book wasn't.
