| | Again, sorry my fault re-wrong date. I saw the date I bought it that I had written on inside and mistook the '6' for a '5'. But can't be sure how long it had been on sale for by the time I got it. |

| | Print review shows where the 1975 date came from but First Published is clearly 1976 |

| | We can change the date - do we know the month in 1976?
Incidentally, it's good if you can, to include a scan of the printing history page, which is usually next to or just after the inside title page. It helps clarify any uncertainties like this. |

| | Hi My Friend Jack, I think you are right there. I've just looked at my copy again and in my quickly written handwriting I now see that I bought it on the 19th November 1976... not '75. Sorry for the miss-information. (that's why I always wrote the dates on anything I bought ...!) |

My Friend Jack SUBS 15th Nov 2015
| | I'm almost certain this didn't come out until 1976. The fact that it covers the charts up to October '75 would suggest a publication date of '76. Plus, I remember where I was working when I got my copy. I couldn't wait until lunchtime so I disappeared from the office for a few minutes, having placed an order several weeks earlier. |

| | Yes, a 2nd edition came out in 1979 which I have. It was published by Futura Publications Limited and covers 1955-1979. Unfortunately my copy is stained so I will hang on until someone scans a clean copy. It is a fantastic little reference book. |

| | Images up-loaded of the first book of the UK top 20 charts. 208 pages give the top 20 data each week until the book was ready to go to print in October '75. 3 inside page images above give an idea of the books contents. This was an amazing book for me with all the info it contained and the way it was laid out. I impressed/bored everyone I knew with the fact I could recite a top 20 from any given year... happy daze.
I have an idea that a 2nd Edition appeared in about 1978, which I didn't buy but the next one from 1984 and is the 2nd Edition. |
