New Entries:-

Kinks - MR PLEASANT : A US and European single released in June 1967, which never appeared on a Kinks studio album, but did eventually get a UK release on the B-side of "Autumn Almanac".

Turtles - SHE'D RATHER BE WITH ME : The biggest British hit for these Californian-based Beatles worshippers.

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH : This week was the first of two that this classic cut bubbled under the British singles chart. Written by Ashford & Simpson, it seems incredible that it had to wait 3 years before finally becoming a British hit as Diana Ross' second solo single.

Four Tops - SEVEN ROOMS OF GLOOM : Another superb Holland-Dozier-Holland composition for my favourite male Motown vocal group.

Temptations - ALL I NEED : Astonishingly, this Eddie Holland - R Dean Taylor - Frank Wilson single, by my second favourite male Motown vocal group, spent just a solitary week bubbling outside the Record Retailer Top 50 in Britain. It reached the US Top 10.

Simon Dupree & Big Sound - DAY TIME NIGHT TIME : I couldn't resist charting another single by this Scottish band who are my Haven Retro 1967 Discovery of the Year award winners.

'Waterloo Sunset' is one of my favourite songs ever.. but a chart in which 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' doesn't make #1 just feels totally wrong!

There are a lot of dilemmas unless you want to make a #1 every week, especially where my chart is about to head.
Two totally brilliant singles in different ways out on the same week in my current playlist plus a load of others I thought might be #1 on the tail of a song that is supposed to be the hit of the year and therefore have a very long run at #1. (That's in 1968, but these have turned up throughout the retro years and later in 1967 we get the same).

10th June 1967

Stevie Wonder gets his first chart-topper, knocking off the Beatles from the summit in what for me is one of the great periods of music of all-time, quite frankly the entire top 7 should be topping my chart and the next 6 around 2 or 3. As if George Martin's tasteful orchestration of She's Leaving Home isn't amazing enough, there's an even better one at 6, new in for Nancy Sinatra's James Bond theme You Only Live Twice, still the greatest Bond theme and her 3rd top 10 of the year. I have opted for the lushly orchestrated John Barry soundtrack version - the single version adapted by Lee Hazelwood is perfectly fine but the movie version is the definitive classic, as borrowed by Robbie for his equally fab Millennium. I saw Rob last week and he didn't do it! Pah! Awesome though. Lee Hazelwood, meanwhile, pops in with that Johnny Cash/ June Carter rival version (both covers of a 1963 song) awaiting entry.

The Four Tops grab a 4th top 10 of 1967, which means the class Procol Harum song is just being outdone by tracks I love more, up to 10. The Fabs & Cilla both enter the top 20, keeping it scouse, as I was was at the time (at least in accent), with Vikki Carr and The Hollies (both tracks I loved at the time) making good moves into the 30. New at 32, a song I didn't know then, but grew to love in the US hit version by Kim Carnes in 1980, it's More Love by the amazing Smokey Robinson, with his miracles - 4 songs on the chart to boot, that's rivalling Lennon & McCartney. 

I saw Judith Durham perform The Olive Tree on the 50th anniversary tour of The Seekers, and was impressed so by the song and their concert I bought the CD hits collection in the foyer - which doesn't have it on! Pah! Another track I knew from 90's Florida hols pops in lower down for Jay & The Americans, a Kinks song I don't know, ditto, and a Tommy Roe ditty that I would have loved had I heard it then (Dizzy was an actual obsession in 1969, the first record I ever bought).
