16th June 1973

It's a Jesus Christ Superstar film of the stage-show Original Soundtrack invasion with 6 new entries from the album, and on top it's Carl Anderson's jaw-dropping angry performance of Superstar, going one better than the London cast of the show did in 1969/70. Still my favourite Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice soundtrack (though it's bloody close with Evita) and the film was still 3 months away in the UK, by which time I'd have moved to live in Gloucester. New at 2 is Yvonne Elliman's new version of I Don't How To Love Him, so the first time any act has hit my charts twice with different versions of the same song, and she dominated the movie for me, I loved her voice and emotional performance, and also on Could We Start Again Please? new at 3 and Everything's Alright new at 5, so basically everything drops 4 places as a result this week.

New at 8, and out in the States, it's another early entry for an autumn UK hit, the wonderful Lonely Days Lonely Nights from Don Downing, still a great and largely forgotten catchy soul gem, and new at 38 The Undisputed Truth return yet again with another great Norman Whitfield production, Law Of The Land, which will yet again become a hit for The Temptations later in the year. Slade just miss the top 40 for now with Skweeze Me Pleeze Me, as they were now at the stage of instant UK number ones - but not with me, though I generally rated their singles.

Hosannah and King Herod's Song round up the JCS cast, and Mud's B side makes a 3rd Glamtangorock chart debut for them, Last Tango In London wasnt a decent pop track that I played quite a lot when I bought Hypnosis in 2 or 3 weeks as it presided over my charts in the Summer Of '73. That leaves one out, one in for Demis Roussos, as he wails his usual engaging way through another Greek-flavoured ballad, Goodbye My Love Goodbye, def one I heard at the time but never really noticed, and one which was busy charting across Europe - Mr R. still had another 2 and a bit years before he broke into the UK market.

16th June 1973 My chart that week then

It's 7 weeks on top for the unbeatable Wizzard, not even T.Rex's new single could shift them, as The Groover stalls at 2, and lazy hot summer days were on the horizon as exams at school were in the air and the end of the 4th year was imminent - and pretty much good riddance on the whole. I had one friend, who for some reason suddenly stopped being my friend due to something he wouldn't tell me I'd done, and I hung around with a couple of girls from the 3rd year now an again during breaks when I wasn't out of school away from the bullies ruining my life, spending my dinner money on DC comics and bags of chips. 

Music, though, kept me going - including First Choice fabulously up to 5, Dave Edmunds getting a 3rd top 10, and George Harrison getting his first good top 10 single in 2 and a half years. Never one to rush, our George. Meanwhile, Mud follow-up Crazy with the even better Hypnosis, still doing the Glamtangorock. Barry White debuts his own solo soul hit a year after he'd featured on Love Unlimited's version of his own song/production Walking In The Rain With The One I Love hit 2 (with his missus), and I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby starts at 26. Billy Preston gets his 4th chart entry with Will It Go Round In Circles, his second UK flop after Outa Space and 4 years on from Get back and That's The Way God Planned It. The Jackson 5 make it almost 4 years of charting too, over 10 of 'em with Hallelujah Day at 30.
