New Entries:-

Hollies - CARRIE ANNE : Written for Marianne (Faithfull), Graham Nash chickened out of using her real name on this great pop record. It's success clearly spurred the Hollies into writing more songs for women, as Dear Eloise, Jennifer Eccles and Sorry Suzanne were soon to follow.

Traffic - PAPER SUN : Traffic's debut single was released within 7 weeks of the band's formation. Stevie Winwood had walked out of the Spencer Davis Group, taking the band's guitar roadie Dave Mason with him. They were joined by two other Brummies - flautist/saxophonist Chris Wood and drummer Jim Capaldi, with the express intention of making psychedelic rock.

26th May 1967


2 weeks on top for Scott McKenzie's hippie anthem, holding off a challenge from The Doors at 3. That's the position the long version peaked at on re-issue in the 90's in my charts. Wayne Fontana and The Walker Brothers go top 10, which is about as well as The Partridge Family did with it in 1973 - hey I liked David Cassidy and the TV show!

A big leap for Procol Harum into the 20, which A Whiter Shade Of Pale did in 1972 for me, and a lesser-known Northern Soul Motown gem from The Four Tops turns the top 20 gloomy as well as pale. The Five Stairsteps take Smokey Robinson into the 20, while Johnny Rivers enters with another Smokey song. 

Highest new entry at 29 is that American hit and UK flop, incredibly, for Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl. I swear it was on constant rotation on Florida radio each year I holidayed in the 90's. Far and away his best solo record, too. 2 versions of The Boat That I Row side by side, 2 versions of Up Up And Away, one of them not floating as high as the better version, and a new entry for Traffic, newly-hot with Paper Sun at 35.

Jeff Beck & Dave Dee & co go top 40, Vikki Carr's MOR classic is in at 57, and childhood fave Carrie Ann pops in a bit lower. One of my parents younger RAF friend couples had this one (Jimmy & Vera had some singles I liked so I enjoyed popping round for biscuits and playing their records, Jimmy was in his early 20's, mum was very nearly ancient at 28, dad was 30).
