This book is © Lonnie Readioff 2020, though the original charts that this book is derived from were first printed in Melody Maker between 1958 and 1969. The original data was compiled form reference to the original weekly magazines and corrected using internet resources, such as Discogs, iTunes, Spotify and the Internet Archive amongst others. I am grateful to the support and assistance of numerous people, including Iain Moffatt for providing some of the track listings.

The book is presented on an as-is basis. While every effort has been made to make sure it is free from defects I will not be held responsible it does nasty things to your computer. Though it shouldn’t. But if it does, it’s not my fault.

Notes on the text

As with any book of this nature there are mistakes inside its pages. I would be stupid to think that there were none. So, if you spot a mistake and let me know, I’ll correct it and you’ll get your name in the book. Drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll check out the error, though I also welcome praise and criticism, both for the book and the layout of the book. Much changed in the following years as the Album chart did eventually get religated lower and lower prominence and size. By 1965 the Top 50 Singles chart was taking up much of the page, As far as can be tested this book is virus free, though it may contain traces of nuts. with the Top 10 LP’s tucked away in a corner below. did little to change this, but eventually the chart size did increase (See the Chart Milestones section later on).

Many other charts where created during the 1960’s (Record Retailer, New Musical Express, Top Pops, etc) but Melody Maker was the one, at least to it’s readers, with the larger sample size and so was therefore most accurate (Just ask any statistician!). The chart , as they all where, was not without aligations of hyping (A news report on the front page in February 1969 went to great lengths to distance themselves from claims of this stating how they where ensuring hyping did not sully their chart.). By 1970 though, as this volume ends, times where changing. The BBC chart was listed as Official as it was compiled by the British Market Research Bureau and while Album Track Listing they did overlap in some ways (in number 1’s most weeks), the BBC Chart was gaining in power. Every track as listed on the album is presented here, in order. A very few albums have no track Come with us now though as we return to those good old days of vinyl records. listing other than ‘Side 1’ and ‘Side 2’ - these are presented as shown. Later CD re-issues may have named the tracks, so caution with these is required as the track listing relates to the version whose catalogue number is shown.

The full artist is shown for any track where this differs from the main album credit. For many - but not all - Soundtrack or Cast albums, shown at the end of the book, individual artists are shown where it has been possible to identify who they where. This is not the case for all as the cover does not always state performers. In some cases later CD re-issues have been used to determine the performer.

Verifiable evidence of errors is gratefully received to [email protected], including durations of albums where none is shown, but do please take the above notes into account.

Durations This volume is the first to also list the durations if the albums and so a word about how these are created is important. The database from which this book is derived contains the full album track listing for each album together with the duration of that particular track. To create the album duration the individual track times are added together, which means that the original LP duration could be a few seconds longer to account for silence between tracks. Equally, the duration of each track may itself be adjusted slightly as where a particular track ends can differ slightly depending upon who you consult. Here I am discussing specifically fade out times.

Some albums (2 in total) do not have a duration listed as accurate data for some or all of the listed tracks could not be located. In compiling the durations I was able to verify many with Spotify and iTunes.

Below is a listing of the albums for which durations are not available in this book.
