Just to add some further information on the Sheet Music thing. A chap called David Armstrong has not long ago published all the Sheet Music Charts from 1947 to 1959 in book form. It's available on Amazon.
You will find the title I mentioned in that book.
Coincidentally, the period covered by First Hits. Well, that book doesn't feature the weekly charts, but the info would be the same.

The First Hits book is not very accurate on the dates of releases.
How do you know? The people who did that book were very thorough with their research. I know one of them personally.

You are assuming that Colin Brown's word is gospel. He was infamously unreliable amongst collectors. Just because he says he did something, does not mean it is true. You haven't seen his original research (but feel free to correct me).

You think his book is better than Record Company Catalogues? :erk: We're talking about notes a guy made over 60 years ago which weren't published until after his death. I'm highly sceptical.
