What's the story with Number 930 ???........I have Ambrose with Anne Shelton, you have Charlie Kunz ??
That one's a bit confusing. The book indeed has Ambrose's "San Fernando Valley" charting from 11 Sep 44 onwards, but the catalogue number it states is Decca F-8445, which is actually Charlie Kunz's Medley D74. I would normally have just assumed that this was a typo in the cat no, since "San Fernando Valley" is on F-8465. However, the other side of this record ("Till Stars Forget To Shine") is already in the charts, and has been since 04 Sep 44. Given the charts are based on record sales, I don't believe there's any way in which both sides of a record could chart separately, so I've assumed that the cat no is correct and gone with the Charlie Kunz D74 medley.

I'd also be tempted to amend No. 925 to have both sides charting, since I think "Till Stars Forget To Shine" and "San Fernando Valley" would have been equally popular. Perhaps the authors did intend to add in "San Fernando Valley" to the F-8465 entry, but ended up replacing the Charlie Kunz record by mistake.
