It lasts 10 hours 28 mins and is currently number 42 on Amazon Top 100 best sellers. It has a picture of The Beatles on the front cover and includes Love me do/P.S. I love you.
So 250 tracks for £5.49 is only 2.2p per track - an outstanding bargain.

.. and here they come, history in the making as The Beatles make their debut on the chart. An unsuspecting music industry carried on regardless unaware of what was about to be unleashed upon them. Oh 'yeah yeah yeah', bring it on !

Those are good buys Robbie. Yeah as with most years 61 and 62 had lots of stuff I came to like too, and before then also I should say.
However my music awareness and awakening happened in 1963 , gradually, then took off with She Loves You by The Beatles. I can actually still remember the thrill it gave me when I first heard it. I got a Dansette record player for Christmas that year and a selection of records from the top twenty around that time, She Loves You among them of course and the Twist And Shout EP. Then with money I got at Christmas I bought I Want To Hold Your Hand. Magical Times

I keep seeing so many great singles in the 1962 charts that I've just bought a mighty 250 track download called "1962 - 250 Hits". The album was released in 2012 just prior to the extension of copyright on sound recordings not yet in the public domain from 50 years to 70 years. The album is available as a download and is probably still available at amazon as the label which released the album has long ceased trading.
For £7.99 this is a bargain
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There is a 1961 equivalent, also 250 tracks, which has far too many duds for me but even so, I've just bought it...

The seem to be the only two albums available in this "250 Hits" series. Presumably the extension of copyright put a halt to any future plans.

Originally posted by setg1 View PostMost likely that has been the case in the later decades, as it was reissued in 1991 (in a remixed version) and reached the top 40. But was it really also the better known side in 1962 (meaning that Disc and RR would have both got it very wrong)?
"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.

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....

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.
