for
Sunday 25th September 1966
The Stones – straight in at #21 (but rather strangely, being obliged
to share the slot with Chris Montez) – commenced their Rolling Stones
66 tour at The Royal Albert Hall on Sept 23rd.
They were supported by Ike and Tina, Turner, who have this week's Big L Album
of the Week, and The Yardbirds.
Sept 24th saw the arrival in the UK of the unknown Jimi Hendrix.

Somewhere My Love | Mike Sammes Singers | HMV POP 1546 |
Somewhere My Love, the vocal version of Lara's Theme from the film Dr Zhivago, did unusually badly in the Fab, compared to the Nationals, where it reached #22 in the autumn of '66 re-entering in the summer of '67, this time to make #14.The Mike Samme Singers were back in the charts incognito in March '67. They were the genuine recording artistes on I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman, (see Fab 26th February) with producer Noel Walker providing the whistling. Billy Moeller, who later made live appearances as Whistling Jack Smith did not participate in the recording.
