Thanks for chart info, Peter. Could you possibly add the same for Mike’s lists of “wants” please?

I’m inclined to disregard the “real charts” website. There was discussion of it on the UK Mix forum which you might want to look at. He is so vague about his mystery sources that you can’t help thinking he’s a bit of a fantasist. He admits to counting pirated or copied singles in his explanation of the chart, which is a big red flag.

In the case of the charts from this era, he could be using the missing charts data. He could also have acquired Colin Brown’s sales data. Either way, I think they’re best ignored.

I've added the chart data to Mike's topic on the "final fourteen" 40s recordings. I don't think he's put up a complete list of the missing 50s records here.

As for the "real chart", I believe I did read that forum discussion. I don't understand why you would keep your sources so much of a mystery, unless of course revealing them would call into question their reliability! The 1948-52 charts have exactly the same errors as the Missing Charts book, although the chart positions etc. are different. As you say, he may well have acquired Colin Brown's original data.
