Great choice. But I wasn't expected T Rex to appear so soon. Somehow I had calibrated them to have made an autumn of 1969 debut.

4th May 1968


It's The Hump on top for the only time and the only week in his career, I can't help myself with this slice of singalong MOR - though it certainly won't be his last top 10 (Hi Eurovision!). Highest new entry is another Laura classic song, as later done by The Fifth Dimension as impeccably as always - they regularly gave Laura the hits she never achieved solo - Stoned Soul Picnic, a track which wasn't a single until September, but she has a brand new non-album forgotten gem out in August in response to world events and this one is already charting so here she is leapfrogging the great Sweet Blindness at 22.

Angel Of The Morning goes top 10 for Merrilee Rush some 47 years ahead of the Juice Newton version topping my charts, courtesy Deadpool, and Dionne Warwick grabs another top 10 - she would have more if most of her greats didn't pre-date 1967 when I started this retro-review. The Equals go top 20 a year ahead of their first official top 5 hit Viva Bobby Joe which I was mad on when I was actually charting for real in the summer of '69. Hi Bryan Adams!

Second highest new entry, and the third for Robert Knight as an act, and in the chart this week as songwriter, it's 1973 Northern Soul classic Love On A Mountain Top, which I loved as I turned 16. Big in Wigan, and then everywhere else in the UK. It was actually released 5 years earlier though, this week in 1968. Another oldie, post-T.Rex blockbuster Glam monsters, that hit the UK top 10 and my top 5 in 1972, is in at 51 for Tyrannosaurus Rex aka Marc Bolan pop idol hero aka T.Rex. Debora sounded old when it was a hit, but had Donovan acoustic charm to it. 

My dad did a singalong version of the new entry at 57, a track on our 16 Big Hits album, and recorded on reel-to-reel tape. It's better (dad could hold a tune) than Des' pleasant version of I Pretend, but sadly yet to be released. Trust me, it's way better than Dick A Dum Dum...! In at 58, and new to me in this original album version of yet another Jacques Brel song, but one I knew well from Sensational Alex Harvey Band's version on The Old Grey Whistle Test. I actually never knew Next was a Scott Walker cover of a Brel song (along with Rock n Roll veteran songwriter Mort Shuman). The Trems are back with another jaunty pop ditty - they would continue to chart in my charts through to 1974, long after they had their final UK chart hit, so I guess you could say I was a fan. The Everly's enter with a song I don't know, but sounds like Neil Diamond, but actually is John D Loudermilk, Sergio Mendes & co coffee-table the Dusty classic version of the Bacharach/David gem, and Hermans Hermits enter with one of their lesser songs, and one I don't actually recall much from the time: the singles before it I loved, the singles after it I loved, but this one just passed me by, by and large. I was probably playing marbles a lot.
