It wasn't released in the UK until 28th July 1967. So I won't be charting it until then. It will be a possible chart-topper.

Oh I didn't realise that. I was going by when it entered the US chart.

Some people are using the US chart entry dates. I'm using the UK if it charted on both lists; and only the US charts when the track didn't make the UK charts, and I can't easily find the UK release date.

Of course, this means that tracks are likely to peak higher on the Haven list, if their UK and US chart runs were concurrent. But they might spend longer on the Haven charts, if their US and UK runs go back-to-back.

Brown Eyed Girl entered the US top 40 on the week I charted it but it probably reached the hot 100 a few weeks earlier. It spent one week at #130 on 3rd June then dropped out, re-entered the chart on 8th July and eventually climbed as high as #10.

Light My Fire entered the US top 40 this week (24 June 1967) climbing from #50 to #24.

New Entries:-

Monkees - ALTERNATE TITLE : There's very little I can add to raliverpool's synopsis of the background to this brilliant single. Just one factoid. Don't believe the know-all down the pub who says this was one of the first records to be banned by the BBC. It wasn't, and the video clip was played three times on Top Of The Pops as it climbed the charts.

Glen Campbell - GENTLE ON MY MIND : Released this week in 1967, but destined not to chart in Britain for a year, when Dean Martin recorded a cover. The single won 4 Grammys - two for John Hartford, the songwriter, and two for Campbell. There are other cover versions out there by some of popular music's true greats - Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, REM, Bing Crosby, Tammy Wynette and Leonard Nimoy. I salute Glen Campbell this morning, as the "Adios" album becomes his first studio LP to make the UK Top 10. Sadly, it seems illness means it is unlikely he will appreciate what he has achieved.

Otis Redding - SHAKE : A Sam Cooke cover, released two years after Redding had put out "A Change Is Gonna Come". It was 50 years ago today that Otis Redding played the Monterey Pop Festival, and consequently properly hit the big time in the USA. 2017 Anniversaries Thread

Gladys Knight & The Pips - TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND LOVE ME : Produced by Norman Whitfield, written by Barrett Strong, Cornelius Grant and Rodger Penzabone. This was Gladys Knight & The Pips' debut hit in the UK, a mere 10 years after making their first record, and going on tour with Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and BB King. One of Gladys' cousins, James Woods, was the band's manager. His family nickname ? Pips.

Dean Martin's version of Gentle On My Mind didn't reach the UK chart until 1969. But Glen Campbell's was a US hit in 1968 and that is where I have picked it up to chart it.

re charting non uk chart hits, come Sept 1968 I will be posting actual/a few years later charts - I discovered the UK top 30 when Hey Jude topped the charts, and became obsessed. By December though I grew frustrated (sort of) that the records were in the wrong order (to me!) so I started re-ordering my own top 20 strictly based on the UK charts. They were a bit sporadic, but after the event in the 70's I retrofied all the missing charts from Hey Jude onwards and did a complete run through to Sept 1971, based on the UK charts which I could get hold of via a handy top 20 book that was published.

However, I lived out the country in Singapore from Sep 1969 through Sep 1971, which meant I heard plenty of non-UK hits (American TV shows) and didn't get to hear most British non-pop hits (not played on Singapore radio), so my charts go off at a tangent a bit during this period. From sep 1971 through to Jan 1972 I allowed anything to enter my chart that I heard, then for some odd reason limited it again to the UK top 30 (even though I often loved records not in the chart more than those in the chart) until late 1973. At this point I turned 16, and really went off the singles charts in the UK to an extent as compared to the American singles charts and European hits, so I expanded my charts and allowed anything in, including reissues. 

So, these charts give me a terrific opportunity to list what I call my "Coulda-been" charts - had i been an adult at the time, with hypothetical streaming, downloads, but referencing what I loved at the time. If anything is allowed to chart nowadays, from anywhere in the world on simultaneous release, I'm applying the same to my retro charts as I've often charted stuff way ahead (sometimes decades ahead) of UK chart success, and want to make the charts as wide and inclusive of all the brilliant music that was available somewhere in the world at the time - as long as I dont have to do TOO much research! Thankfully everyone on here does it for me much of the time, hooray!

Come sept 1968 I will list my "actual" charts of the time, and try to roughly order those songs correctly-ish, but include stuff that didn't make the UK top 30 according to how I feel about them now or during the interim.

17th June 1967

The Monkees are on top with a 4th chart-topper of the year, holding off Nancy Sinatra's 3rd top 5. Highest new entry is the track that featured on the first album bought as a present for me (I requested Honey Come Back and got This Is Glen Campbell, an Australian compilation of the best tracks off his first 2 or albums) - Gentle On My Mind. Alison Krauss has just done a fab cover of it, which reinforces what a work of poetry it is, lyrically and melodically, deserving of all the awards. 

In at 23, a track a fellow 60's enthusiast recommended to me recently, and it's pure 1967 and pure delight, Sagittarius is the act, well worth checking out. Big climb for Gene Chandler, 12 years before he debuted in my charts with Get Down. That was a very good disco track, this a wonderful soul ballad. Pink Floyd are back again, ditto Jefferson Airplane, snap for Sonny & Cher, and a 3rd Peaches & Herb of 1967. That leaves Boots Randolph's version of the standard Temptation, very nice - he may be better known for his sax contributions to Elvis records - and Yakkety Sax, AKA the Benny Hill theme!
