RogerFoster 12th May 2015		Actually Neil, whether the compilers of this selection did proper "research" or just relied on their own memories is anyone's guess, but the fact remains that every single track on this collection DID make it to #1 on The "Official" weekly U.K. singles chart, or at least as far as The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles is concerned .... Dates are as follows .... A1 B. Bumble And The Stingers - Nut Rocker: 17 May 1962 for 1 week. A2 The Hollies - I'm Alive: 24 June 1965 for 1 week. A3 Billy J. Kramer And The Dakotas - Bad To Me: 22 August 1963 for 3 weeks. A4 Adam Faith - Poor Me: 10th March 1960 for 1 week. A5 John Leyton - Johnny Remember Me: 31st August 1961 for 3 weeks. A6 Manfred Mann - Do-Wah-Diddy-Diddy: 13th August 1964 for 2 weeks A7 The Shadows - Kon Tiki: 5th October 1961 for 1 week. A8 Adam Faith - What Do You Want: 4th December 1959 for 3 weeks. A9 Pilot - January: 1st February 1975 for 3 weeks. A10 Wizzard - See My Baby Jive: 19 May 1973 for 4 weeks. B1 Manfred Mann - Pretty Flamingo: 5th May 1966 for 3 weeks. B2 Billy J. Kramer And The Dakotas - Little Children: 19th March 1964 for 2 weeks. B3 Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart: 27th February 1964 for 3 weeks. B4 The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You: 25th February 1965 for 2 weeks. B5 Ricky Valence - Tell Laura I Love Her: 29th September 1960 for 3 weeks. B6 Gerry And The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone: 31st October 1963 for 4 weeks. B7 Peter And Gordon - World Without Love: 23rd April 1964 for 2 weeks. B8 Cilla Black - You're My World: 28th May 1964 for 4 weeks. B9 The Scaffold - Lily The Pink: 11th December 1968 for 3 weeks. B10 Craig Douglas - Only Sixteen: 11th September 1959 for 4 weeks.



Neil Forbes 12th May 2015		Hi, Biff! It seems to me that no amount of research whatsoever goes into the compilations of albums like this. They threw a bunch of songs together 'cause the topped the British charts - but did they? Did the compilers actually go through the Top-40, or Top-50 charts for the relevant years to actually see if the record DID top the chart? Plus my other comment about the decades covered, They need to concentrate on one decade at a time, and dedicate one volume to that decade and another to the following(or even preceding) decade, they may end up with a 4-volume set covering the 1950s(Vol.1) up to the 1980s(Vol.4). Something to mull over, perhaps!



biffbampow 11th May 2015		Seems like this compilation's a bit confused as to the period it's meant to cover - 1960s or 1970s! Best to concentrate on one decade and leave the other for another volume. It does seem a bit jarring to have 17 tracks from the 60's and one from 1959 joined by two tracks from the 70's kinda grafted on for the the sake of it. The running order is actually worse as it leaps around all over the place adding to it's confused inconsistent flow. Definitely an odd grab-bag of stuff... all enjoyable stuff but not really the best way to listen to it unless one has the CD and reporgrams it into something more chronological. At least those MFP "Saviles Time Travels" albums (or whatever they were called) focused on a year at a time so made for less confused listens! Always a major beef of mine with various artistes compilations how they mangle chronology. It's taken me years - with much help from the 45world sites - to be able to sort out the mess and finally be able to listen to and study all this music in their proper place and context.



Record Collector 11th May 2015		Have this on cd
