I have now completed two PDF files of a list of all the UK 45's that were issued in 1965 and 1970. Each file lists the artist name and the A side of the record. Most of the details were extracted from the 45 Cat website. But with these files you can see very quickly when each record was released each week. There's is also an indication of how popular the records are with the ownership levels for each record from 45 Cat members. Any record that has more than five members claiming ownership is recorded. We all know about the records that did make the charts, but with this you can see when the ones that didn't make the charts where released and down to the week they were issued. Unfortunately it's not a complete list. For it only lists those that were known to be issued each week, or the month. Records that are withdrawn or are too limited to make the charts are not included. But I think it's fairly comprehensive and includes all records that did make the various charts. There are often about 40 to 50 records each week for example! You will be amazed about some of the records. For example the 1965 one contains Freddie Lennon's single. Yes John's father!! Which was blocked by the Beatles manager! There's also early David Essex, Rod Stewart!!
More will follow soon, but it does take time to extract the tracks from the 45 Cat Site!
1965 -1970
The above link will take you to my blog explaining about record release dates. The PDF files can be found on the lilac links there. They are free and virus etc free. |

I will do all the 60's, 1971 to 1977.
The 50's might be more tricky as records were released monthly, not weekly and there is a 100 record limit on 45 Cat when searching. But I will try!
I have started 1976 already. If anyone wants a particular year of the above years doing next, I can make a start on it.
