Field's Fab Forties commence here. (See explanation in the Introduction)
These
Radio London Fab Forty charts differ very much from the National or 'Official'
sales-based charts of the time, in that they contain numerous entries from
obscure recording artists. Some of these artists have gone on to greater things,
but many have remained unheard of since the Sixties. These are far more than
mere listings. A wealth of information and photographs are to be found in
the pages above, and we know that much more remains to be added to the Fabs
concerning these artists, their relationship with Radio London and the connection
of many of them with the Knees Club.
New information is constantly being unearthed and feedback is regularly received
from the recording artists of the time. Recent updates to the Fabs are listed on our Fab 40 Updates page.
If
you have any information concerning charts or playlists featured on Radio London
in the weeks between December 1964 and January 24th 1965, any additional
information regarding climbers or presenters, or to contact Mary or other members of the team, please get in touch here 
Where
references have been made to the national charts for the UK, the source of this information
is the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles, by Jo and Tim Rice, Paul Gambaccini
and Mike Read. References to the US Hot Hundred refer to the charts published
by Billboard. |
