6th April 1974
It's springtime, it's ABBA about to win Eurovision, and I'm about to buy Waterloo 50 years ago (and the ABBA follow-up's)...and 50 years later there's an ABBA invasion going on, but it's Paul Williams' gorgeous Travelin' Boy still on top for Art Garfunkel in my retro chart. Neil Sedaka has 2 future US monsters in the top 10, and the highest new entry is the 5th Wizzard single, the under-rated Rock 'n' Roll Winter at 9. That's 4 top 10's in a row for Wizzard, plus one for solo Roy Wood.
Ricky Wilde drops his 3rd retro chart entry at 58, the Glam-sounding Teen Wave, far and away his best record and clearly an influence on sister Kim's 80's Pop New Wave sound, as mastered by Ricky and dad Marty. Bet Kim was bopping along to this in her bedroom. Jim Stafford follow-up his Spiders & Snakes in the US with My Girl Bill, a whimsical country-ish ballad with lyrics that sounded ahead of their time till the end of the song. I recall Elton John doing guest new single reviews in Record Mirror (I think it was) and this one cropped-up with Elton saying he got all excited at the thought of two men about to ravish each other, and then the final comma, My Girl, Bill, went and ruined it. Giving us clues even in 1974, eh Elton?
Blue Mink are about to disband this time 50 years ago due to a problem manager, so Roger Cook said this Saturday, which explains why their final album got no PR, and the single Get Up flopped with no promo. Shame as it's catchy, and was part borrowed by The Rimshots' in 1975 for a minor hit. New at 78 following on from Madeline Bell's concert at London's Cadogan Hall on Saturday - I was there, Madeline's vocals are as wonderful as ever at the age of 81, and we were treated to a walk through the UK recording industry of the 60's and 70's - with Roger Cook also onstage for some hit songs, Paul Gambaccini on interview duties, Sheila Ferguson listed as part of the choir, an orchestra, songwriter Roger Greenaway in the audience, (aka David & Jonathan with Cook) and a Blue Mink stage get together with Herbie Flowers and Alan Parker. That means several UK number one songs collectively, and significant contributions to, ooh Dusty Springfield's back catalogue, Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side bassline, Bowie's Rebel Rebel riff, and a Country Music Songwriter Hall Of Fame among many other kudos and plaudits. A wonderful evening.

2nd April 1974 My Charts of That Week Actually Then
second week on top for Queen, and my chart starts to get more volatile as I get exposed to more and more non-chart music. I was still only compiling a 30, but my chart rules meant many a great record was evicted to make way, and far too early, so Ive expanded to 40 to include those that I still really loved from the week before but hadn’t room for.
New peaks for Three Degrees at 2, Rubettes at 3 (yet to chart anywhere else), and highest new entry from Mud at 6. The Cat Crept In is very much Tiger Feet part 2, but great nonetheless, and Mud at the time were on a roll after 3 in a row at the top of my chart. Genesis get a Top 10 hit 4 years before they did it in the real charts, and the Doobie’s almost make it at 11. New at 16 is Elton John. Not Candle, which peaked at 30, but the far superior B Side which hit the top in the USA. Benny & The Jets was a live slow stomping soul record, and should have been an A Side.
The Bee Gees by now were out of fashion completely, their new single Mr Natural stiffing everywhere except in my charts. I’m nothing if not loyal to great pop stars, and this was a perfectly good record, also skirting with smooth soul. R’n’b the way to go boys! Back with a 60’s girl group pastiche, Limmie & The Family Cooking were fun at 20, and rocking it big-time with menacing guitars and a big vocal is the stupendous On The Run, big on radio Luxembourg and nowhere else. Never became a hit sadly, but the lead singer of Scorched Earth became somewhat better known two years later, solo: Billy Ocean. To this day, still his best record.
The Wombles were back, and Mike Batt starting to get into his Womble stride, starting a string of inventive, musically diverse novelty records. Proving that novelty records can be fun and clever. I defy anyone not sing along to this one! At 25, the Luxembourg Eurovision entry, getting hammered on the station, at 26 Ricky Wilde’s glamtastic teenpop final try at a career. Kim’s pop career added synths but essentially used the same formula, so hooray for brother Ricky!
The Chi-Lites were back, 2 years on from some real gems and a number one Oh Girl, with a charming ditty later covered by UB40. Lieutenant Pigeon had had their day, and a number one in my chart with Desperate Dan (Mould Old Dough hit 2) but I had enough affection for the jaunty piano romping to chart this cover of an Irish ballad standard beloved of many a drunk. Finally, at 30, a song about sad DJ’s from storytale songwriter Harry Chapin, who wrote many fab songs only to die young on his way to a charity gig when a huge log came lose from the megatruck in front of his car.
