Appletree1 SUBS 28th Apr 2020		78 RPM Gwen Liddel - It's All Over But The Memories / Mistakes (1952)	Listed as a March release in the Missing Hits Book. Mistakes also the track credited, which due to the popularity of the number of people recording that was probably the A side.

Missing hits also credits only the B side. With no indication on the label, could the B side be the A?
Appletree1 SUBS 21st Apr 2020		78 RPM The Four Aces Featuring Al Alberts - Tell Me Why / A Garden In The Rain (1952)	March date in Missing Hits
Appletree1 SUBS 14th Apr 2020		78 RPM Lee Lawrence - Never / Only Fools (1952)	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.

Appletree1 SUBS 18th Feb 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby - Domino / Country Style (1951)	January 1952 according to the Missing Hits book
Appletree1 SUBS 18th Feb 2020		78 RPM Les Paul - Jingle Bells / Silent Night, Holy Night (1952)	Really who issues a Christmas record in January? And to confirm it the Missing Hits book has a December (10) entry for it in 1951!!!
