Roy Wood originally wrote this UK #11 for pop vocal group The New Seekers. This folk rock track featuring guitarist Jeff Lynne singing the third verse sounds more like an early period T Rex track to my ears.

3rd July 1971

It's a brand new entry on top for the third T.Rex chart-topper in a row, Get It On being so good it became a big hit in the Glam-free USA, influenced by Rolling Stones riffs here and there, the imagery was pure Bolan though. This week marks a bit of massive invasion of classics for me. From here-on it's pretty much majorly stuff I played to death in the UK, most of them I bought on singles (eventually) mixed with stuff I missed out on, or were album tracks and B sides. The combination means I can no longer fit them into a chart of 75 and I've had to expand to 90. I expect it'll stay that way for the next 3 years or so before things start to get less good in 1975, overall. The sheer competition means every track is doing much less well than it deserves in terms of chart positions, bar the very top. Middle Of The Road are at 9, for example, and topped my original charts for 7 weeks back in the day.

Joan Baez is up to 2 with her fab Dixie cover, and new on their brand new album it's future classic single Have You Seen Her from The Chi-Lites, shamelessly sad, lush and sentimental, and still brilliant, despite MC Hammer's attempt to murder it. In at 7, and Eugene Record hits his stride from here onwards, main singer and songwriter of the band. Another soul classic, for me, is in at 19, 1973 UK hit Take Me Girl I'm Ready from the fab Junior Walker, out in the USA 2 years earlier. Motown was always looking for oldies to push in the UK when the hits started drying up, working that back catalogue. In at 28, I got it for Christmas 1971, the wonderful 1964 Northern Soul UK chart-topper from The Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother was on top of the charts when I got to see my first Top Of The Pops shows after 2 years deprived. My memory is they weren't appearing until it had dropped off the top spot, or it's last week on top, as they struggled to find them, and get them over the Atlantic to the UK. They looked a bit "mature" and out of vocal practice, but it was lovely to see them.

In at 57, 5 months early, the best track off Deep Purple's new album Fireball. The future single was one I rated, I liked the thrash/punk tempo some years before punk was even a germ of an idea. David Crosby follows Neil Young & Stephen Stills with a solo entry, and Graham Nash wouldn't be that far behind - I def charted stuff from him 1974 in my original charts of the time. Orleans is utterly not what I was expecting, it's rather lovely. The Trems keep the chart entries coming 5 years on, Cliff ditto, and so The Who with their rock classic Won't Get Fooled Again. I still don't love it. I like it, which is better than my view in the 70's, I actively disliked it, possibly due to buying a second-hand copy (without hearing the record before) which was shot to hell. Much prefer the follow-up. I know I'm in a minority there!

The Moments get another entry 4 years before their UK breakthrough, slick soul with ear-shattering vocals, Valerie Simpson drops her partner for a solo hit attempt (Ashford and her give away their best songs though - so no hits!). The Doobies debut a year earlier than I expected, with Nobody - not one I know - while Twiggy goes all 1920's as she promotes her debut movie The Boy Friend, which was set in that period. A flop, obviously, but she'd get the hit in 5 years time, with a country folk cover.

6th July 1971 Wot I Liked Then

50 years ago this week, Middle Of The Road were my faves for a 5th week, as one the final records I heard in Singapore to make my top 10 shoves up for The Supremes & The Four Tops, as River Deep goes where Ike & Tina Turner had gone before. New World get Tom Tom Turnaround into the 10 too. The highest new entry is the 3rd monster track from T.Rex - though I wouldn't get to hear it for another 2 months or so it entered the UK charts this week, and so I retro-added it. Oddly it was my least-fave T.Rex single for a few years, mostly because I didn't get to hear it much till I bought it. Sneaking in, my other big pop hero after Marc Bolan was on the wane: Roy Wood. he hadn't quite glammed up yet, though.
