Thanks membranemusic. The POTP broadcasts have proved invaluable time and time again when we come across transcript errors. That said I had looked at the earlier BBC transcript rather than the updated version Robin referred to which corrected the error. The updated version is to hand now

Re this post and comment:
Here is yet another big omission for your attention on your copies of the BBC charts. Freddie and The Dreamers I'm Telling You Now, is completely missing from 10th August 1963. To me it looks like it should have been placed on the BBC chart as a new entry for that week as the points indicate such, but it was not. Then it is completely absent for the weeks 17th, 24th, and 31st on the transcript. It re-appears on 6th September.
Interesting. "I'm Telling You Now" is missing from the EARLY Dave/Trevor BBC files for Aug 1963, but shows up in the LATER file revisions, at #28, #12, #3, #2.
My notes on the broadcast at the time definitely had this record at #12, #3, #2, so someone must have missed it on the logs at that time, and then revised it....

"Lovesick Blues" seems to have been the more popular song internationally in any case, charting in a few European countries and even the US (#44 in Billboard, #50 in Cash Box) where the sides of each single were separated based on airplay. "She Taught Me How to Yodel" doesn't appear to have made the charts in any other country. I prefer the former by far.

On polyhex.com only 'Lovesick Blues' is listed and I think it may have been the same in the Guinness Book Of British Hit Singles.

1976 was another year they went mad on. Notably when the Beatles singles were re-issued.
In many ways it was just easy money for the record companies since they didn't have any recording costs. Plus they were often used on TV adverts.

The Tornados continue to hold everything at bay, Little Eva will be stopped in her tracks, Cliff realises It Won't Be Him, and in comes Del Shannon with my personal favourite of his, The Swiss Maid, a great pop record.

Somebody this week [13/10/62] was making their debut in the RR chart @ #49 I'll wonder who that can be?
In a week or 2 [or days when you're posted the UAC] I'll wonder where they'll get to?

Although challenging for the top position Tommy Roe will have to wait another 6 years to finally achieve this.
Two cracking new entries this week. Chris Montez with the timeless Let's Dance, and The Four Seasons with Sherry, loved it then and love it now. Bellissimo

After a decade of regular visits to the chart Nat King Cole debuts with his last chart hit, and one of his best remembered.
Mr. Acker Bilk after huge success with 'Stranger' decides to have another go with a smooth lush ballad and charts with 'Lonely'
