9th June 1973

It's 2 in a row as Mud debut with Hypnosis straight in at 1 again, following on the Tango Rock of Crazy. This was my huge record of the summer, replacing See My baby Jive, as I bought the single, played it to death during the hot summer lazy days off school at RAF Swinderby near Lincoln. I have memories of babysitting with my Transistor Radio to relieve the boredom while I sat outside listening to Radio Luxembourg's top 30, they generally were a week or 2 ahead of the BBC chart as they chucked out MOR records and novelties in their made-up chart, and put tracks between 31 and 50 going up into the 30 on a Tuesday evening at 9. 

Clifford T. Ward is at 2 with the lovely Gaye, and Wherewithall at 30, it wasn't possible to suggest you liked Gaye to teenagers at the time as the word "Gay" had become appropriated as an acceptable alternative to the more usually offensive Queer or Pouf, the absolute worst insult you could make to someone who was 15, short of the "F" and "C" words inserted to boot. Happy days. Just mention it as I don't suffer from Rosy-tinted-glasses-itus as some of the older generations tend to do when looking back at schooldays. 

In a quiet week, Helen Reddy gets a 3rd retro entry with the very singalong Delta Dawn, and Ms. Reddy still had another 18 months to wait before she finally landed a UK hit. We all knew her records, and her iconic I Am Woman debut, as Women's Rights was very much a thing then. The Pearls get a 4th entry with Yo Yo, Chris Andrews' song from 1970, neither version a hit. I loved his Yesterday's Man hit in 1966, but had no idea he'd written this one as well. Nor, that he'd written Groovy Baby, Girl Don't Come, Long Live Love, and various other Sandie Shaw hits which I was about to buy on a Music For Pleasure album (ie budget) any year now. The Stylistics UK label pick an album track rather than the current US hit, Peek-A-Boo was the UK single, and finally Joan Armatrading debuts Lonely Lady, quite rocky and slightly prog for what I expected of legend Joan - I didn't get to hear her for another year or two.

9th June 1973 My faves that week then

It's 6 weeks on top for See My Baby Jive as a new threat arrives from Junior Campbell, up to 2 with his gospel soul sounds of Sweet Illusions, peaking higher than Hallelujah Day and his biggest hit since Marmalade hit 1 with My Little One 2 years ago. The Hot Shots revive the Snoopy song at 3 and get a big kiddie-inspired chart placing, but I was 15 and that won't last long! It won't sound quite so good next week! The Pearls sneak in at 29 with a cover of Chris Andrews 1970 European single Yo Yo - it's not The Osmonds song of the same name, it's much catchier than that, and the Yesterday's Man 1966 hitmaker-writer should have hit with this one. 

Neil Sedaka gets his 2nd top 10 with Standing On The Inside, and The Edgar Winter Group debut with the monster instrumental Frankenstein, at 18. Still sounds fresh and impressive, even if it wasnt one of top faves of the time. New at 21 hot off Top Of The Pops, T.Rex still sound Glamtastic with The Groover, Mott follow-up their Dudes with Honaloochie Boogie at 24, and Wings get the new theme tune to the latest Bond movie and do a classic job on it, Linda doing the reggae bits, Paul doing the rest, and George Martin gives it the orchestral bombast along with the rock sounds. Oddly that also wasn't a top 10 fave at the time, new in at 28.
