26th May 1973

It's a bloody invasion of classics with the entire top 3 new in, headed by Bobby Goldsboro's best record by quite a stretch, the sultry and laid-back Summer, The First Time out on release in the States. Paul McCartney enters at 2 with Wings, and his epic theme tune to the new James Bond film Live And Let Die - not the greatest Bond film by any stretch, but it gave new Bond Roger Moore the big start it needed, and it's definitely the 2nd best Bond theme (after Nancy Sinatra). Note the reggae bits were written by Linda McCartney and the varied mix all worked, Macca's best song since 1971, and higher than old mate George. That leaves the last great T.Rex single to enter at 3, The Groover didn't hang around in the charts and it was generally seen to be Bolan's first mis-step since T.Rex hit the charts, but it's still fab.

That means Chairmen Of The Board have to settle for going up to 4 with the fab funk, and Apollo 100's version of Jet Harris' version of Besame Mucho is at 5. It rocks. 50 years ago Virgin Records dropped it's first album, an obscure little solo project from a teenager called Tubular Bells. Largely instrumental, it was the springboard to a folkrock career for Mike Oldfield and the start of megabucks for Richard Branson, owner of the label, who (and this would have sounded like science fiction then) has spent money on attempting to build space rockets. The album is basically 2 multi-faceted long tracks, side 1 and side 2, and when they did bother to release a single it bizarrely ignored the segments that caused a sensation when they were used in The Exorcist later in the year, still the most disturbing film I've seen, and it also ignored what I have always veiwed as the "money-shot" the last 7 or 8 minutes of side 1, with Viv Stanshall of Bonzo Dog fame introducing each instrument one by one as it builds to a crescendo climax. Just brilliant, and in at 8.

Talking of folk albums, ex-Teacher Clifford T. Ward drops his album Home Thoughts, long a fave of Radio 2 DJ Terry Wogan, and on it there are the first 2 singles, Gaye is new at 10 and is still sweetly orchestral gorgeous, and the follow-up which flopped, and I have no idea when it came out so it's charting now as an album track, Wherewithall. I liked it, but I never charted it at the time. New at 71 50 years later. 3 more gems pop in side by side at 20 (Mott The Hoople's second hit single Honaloochie Boogie) 21 (Nazareth's next single off the new album, Bad Bad Boy) and 22 (Dave Edmunds following up chart-topper Baby I Love You with Born To Be With You a 50's cover done Phil Spector style again). 

Paul Simon has a new album out, but the UK went for a different (much better) single than The States: Take Me To The Mardi Gras is full on New Orleans laid-back jazz, new at 43, and down the bottom end of the chart, there's a blues ballad from Ray Charles, The Temptations keeping the run going, ditto The Delfonics, and the B Side to The Groover, gives Marc Bolan a Midnight 5th on the chart.

26th May 1973 My weekly chart of that week then...

It's 4 weeks on top for Wizzard, and 3 at 2 for The Sweet, as new threats emerge from Suzi Quatro, Can The Canning at 3, Stevie spreading sunshine at 4, Lou Reed Walking on the wild side at 5 and 10CC trying for a second chart-topper at 6 with Rubber Bullets. Detroit Emeralds make it 2 top 10's in a row and The Partridge Family make it 8 top 10's, plus 2 more for David Cassidy.

Cliff's flop Eurovision potential Tomorrow Rising pops in at 23, The Hot Shots reggae-fy the 1967 hit for the Royal Guardsmen, Snoopy Vs The Red Baron, and I adored everything to do with Snoopy and Peanuts, had the posters on my wall later in the decade at College, bought the books, cut out the daily cartoons from the Daily Mail when I could find them (ie without actually buying them). New in at 24 one ahead of Junior Campbell's follow-up hit Sweet Illusions. That leaves Neil Sedaka getting a 4th hit inside a year with Standing On The Inside, a bitter but defiant triumphant return to the top after years in the wilderness. 

Out at the cinema? Lost Horizon musical, Live And Let Die, James Bond with new lead actor Roger Moore, and in music events, the Virgin Record label debuted with an odd little album called Tubular Bells from a teenager Mike Oldfield. I wonder what happened to Richard Branson, owner of the label?
