Can you help me with 1970's MM Album charts?

I may be wrong but haven't these been posted before? I have a feeling that kingofskiffle has posted these before. If not KoS then someone else has done? I'm thinking that they were posted about 6 or so years ago. I'll have a look in the morning to see if I can find them.

I know the Melody Maker Singles charts were posted but I'm sure the Albums charts were also posted.

Re: Melody Maker's Album Charts 1970-79

I've just checked - kingofskiffle posted the Melody Maker Albums charts but they were the 1960s Albums charts...

UKMIX Forums

https://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=52884

And they were posted a decade ago and not just 6 years ago! So none from the 1970s. Perhaps if someone could post the 1970s equivalent...

Re: Melody Maker's Album Charts 1970-79

At the time I didn’t have the 1970’s charts hence why I didn’t post. I also know of mistakes in that original posting which is understandable. I’ll try and get round to doing the set again and properly.

Lonnie, that would be fantastic! Looking forward to see that renewed set 1970's charts including.

So Xmas is coming and every dream come true... May wish for UKMix Santa is a batch of 70's Melody Maker Album Charts.

Looking for scans or the charts themselves for Melody Maker Album charts for 1971 on the following dates. Does anybody have them?

7 August
21 Aug
28 Aug
4 Sep
11 Sep
18 Sep
25 Sep

2, 9, 16 Oct would be useful as well - I have these, but the scans are cut directly down the middle of the chart, so now positions and as such I have to guess. I have all the other charts at this point up to the end of 1971 (Not checked beyond that time period as yet).

I need a small amount of help with some missing scans for the following dates. Scans are for both Singles and Albums, but Albums for a preference as they are harder to find.

30 Dec 1972 OR 6 Jan 1973 (One chart in-between the two I have I think)
22 Dec 73
5 Jan 74
17 Aug 74 (confirmation of how many records at 30 on the album chart as existing scan cuts this off)
17 Dec 1977
31 Dec 1977 (or confirmation it does not exist)
30 Sep 1978
