This thread is a great comprehensive resource for studying a particular time in chart history. It also reminds anyone who was around that the overwhelming majority regarded the BBC chart as the 'official' one at the time.
55-60 may show that Guinness/OCC made the wrong choice for that period too (if you have to choose only one chart) with RM providing a more reliable chart than NME - as we have discussed briefly before.
Incidentally, Angel Radio at 12.40 - 2.00 Saturdays has a 50s chart show.
(We never got round to records that should have been a hit in 1970, but I've just heard one on the radio - Bordeaux Rose.)
