18th August 1973

It's a first retro chart-topper for Bob Dylan, thanks to his Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid Peckinpah Western soundtrack single, the fab Knocking On Heaven's Door, destined to be sampled by Gabrielle and a UK chart-topper in around 27 years time. Highest new entry is a third chart placing and second top 10 for Wizzard, as Roy Wood's semi-rewrite of a bit of an old tune brings Angel Fingers in at 5, while he has another Wizzard track and 3 solo tracks scattered around the chart. Eddie Kendricks meanwhile leaps to 4 with his super-funky Keep On Truckin' still sounding exciting - and outdoing The Temptations current single (flopped here) and the song the band will be nicking shortly - Law Of The Land.

Detroit Spinners make it a hat-trick of top 10's, and new in at 58, and on the Buddah record label now, Gladys Knight & her family debut Midnight Train To Georgia 3 years early for the UK market - it would eventually get reissued in 1976 after flopping in 1973, following some actual hits in 1975. The Rolling Stones drop their first ballad in 6 years as a single, Angie failed to impress me much at the time, though it would grown on me in later years a bit. New at 64. Albert Hammond gets his 4th chart entry with The Peacemaker, and also in The Jackson 5 turn funky, get a US hit and a UK flop out of it, and replace the way-better UK hit Skywriter in the chart, with Get It Together.

18th Aug 1973 My chart that week then

It's 5 weeks on top for Mud, with Medicine Head in runners-up spot with Rising Sun, and a big leap for Bobby Goldsboro at 3, and Roger Daltrey at 4 with I'm Free, all fab records. My enthusiasm for the UK singles chart was waning a bit though, with me getting more enthusiastic for records that hadn't yet or didn't make the UK top 30. Not least Hudson-Ford, ex-Strawbs duo no longer Part Of The Union, they were picking up the pieces with a soaring unusual pop track at 24, just ahead of poster-boy David Essex, about to star in That'll Be The Day, a UK movie about the 50's pop biz, and with a dark, double-tracked, throbbing Rock On. That leaves the lovely Natural High from Bloodstone, soul delight, and Donny's UK chart-topper sneaking in, but it wasn't very good and his output was getting worse as The Osmonds continued to be good.
