10th September 1972

It's a 4th retro chart-topper for David Bowie and his fabulous UK single version of John I'm Only Dancing (avoid all inferior other versions), and Bowie's 5th including Mott The Hoople's Dudes. Highest new entry at 2 is from the new album from The O'Jays, the classic Love Train, not released as a single until 1973, and still fresh and as relevant as it was 50 years ago. The next single will have to wait for the edit version, though, as it's very long on the album. Mama Cass gets another retro top 10 for the final time, 4 years after her first, not including Mamas & Papas singles. 

New in at 18, it's the fab backing of The Glitter Band and fab Mike Leander co-write and production on I Didn't Know I Loved You, oh and it's got that bloke Paul Gadd on it too. Another album out this week is Jonathan King's Bubblerock Is Here To Stay, comprising King taking rock classics and doing them in a different style in a pop bent. For some reason no singles were released off it until early 1974, at which point The Rolling Stones Satisfaction done Country-folk tongue-in-cheek stylee became a hit. His UK record label was busy getting hits (see Terry Dactyl, 10CC) and one US hit that was a UK flop was Lobo's I'd Love You To Want Me. Wait 2 years, JK buys the rights and makes a hit in the UK too. So many 1974 hit UK tracks came out in 1972....! Bubblerock is new at 42, Lobo at 68.

Holland-Dozier (minus the other Holland) chart at 49 with the fab Why Can't We Be Lovers, featuring Lamont Dozier on vocals. Think of it as sort of an early version of modern DJ-producers getting hits for a decade with a rotating list of featuring vocalists, but occasionally one without anyone. HDH could have dominated the 60's singles charts as an act if "features" had been more of a thing back then with Motown. New at 59, and new to me, the Motown choice of single from The Four Seasons album is a retro 60's sounding Seasons track, having not had the guts to go with future Northern Soul classic hit The Night. It flopped. It's too retro for 1972, but fab for 2022. 

Finally, Peter Skellern debuts with an old-fashioned gentle classy croon-style ballad oddly pepped up with choirs of singers and a brass band, but it's quite sweet. He'll have better though, but You're A Lady is still decent. New ay 67, with Anne Murray grabbing a Top Of The Pops plug for new UK single Destiny. She always went down well on UK variety show spots or BBC specials. It doesn't feature on a 3CD box set I have of hers. Not one of her best, though. New at 75.
