Fab 40 number 26 meets Fab 40 number
15!
Tom Jones has this week's highest Fab 40 entry at #26, with Stop Breaking My Heart, while Elvis is up ten places to #15, with Blue River, a track he had recorded in 1963. In the Nationals, Elvis fared less well than in the Big L chart, stalling at #22, while the unfortunate Tom's single failed to chart at all. |

Internet searches indicated that the Clockwork
Oranges were in reality Italian supergroup I
Pooh, incognito. Research by Michel
Bands from Grenoble, France, initially suggested that this was
a fallacy. However, in October 2007, Michel wrote again, from a different
perspective.With no apparent prospect of confirming or otherwise the real
identity of the Clockwork Oranges, I have decided to leave Michel's original
comments as they first appeared on the website, followed by Michel's new
conclusions on the matter. Viewers are then at liberty to conduct their
own research and make up their own minds.
The Clockwork Oranges debate now
has its own page. As mentioned on that page, Svenn Martinsen noted Ready Steady as being Mike Lennox's climber. However, the date he has noted this is March 7th, which would have related to next week's Fab Forty, where (as far as current information is concerned) Mike has been allocated the climber Song Without End and the Clockwork Oranges have vanished.
