(#) #7 – The additional credit for Jackson reflects Brian Long's and Hans Peters' listings.

* Last week, the two versions of Created By Clive by the Syn and the Attack doubled as Tony Brandon's climber. This week, Brian Long and Alan Field list the Attack version as a new entry at #34 on its own, however both Monty (See Fab Forty for 010167) and Hans Peters list the Syn version alongside it. This seems to have been a case of a record company shooting itself in the foot. Ugly Things Magazine's Mike Stax feature and interview with the Attack's Richard Sherman notes: "Created By Clive was a clever piece of social satire aimed at Swinging London's fashion world, but any hope of a hit was doomed by the simultaneous release of a competing version by the Syn – ironically on Deram, a subsidiary of the very same record company." Artwork for a 2012 comic was inspired by and named after the song, parts of which have been used to illustrate a Youtube video of the Syn version. (Left) Dutch picture sleeves.

Cilla Black's version of Alfie penned by Burt Bacharach and the title track of the 1966 Michael Caine film, had been a big success in the spring of that year, peaking at #5 in the Fab Forty on 24th April 1966 and #9 in the Nationals. Dionne Warwick's recording is included in this week's Ballad Box as a current US hit. Cilla had made only a minor impression on the US Hot Hundred when her version was issued there in 1966 to coincide with the release of the film, while Dionne took it to #15 in '67. The record company was clearly hoping for a repeat success here, but it proved too soon after Cilla's hit for the British public to want to buy another version of the same song.
