Damn, 'DAS is on FY-uh: the Gladys/Pips version of "I Wish it Would Rain" -- rarely heard -- followed by even-rarer Supes, "No Stoppin' us Now".

JJ plays Dionne W's orig (pre-Dusty) version of "Wishin' & Hopin'". Somewhere Hal David is smiling.

Lost in the '70s today: 2NG's retro-chart is from Sept '75. Lots of good/bad lost UK cheeze.
as the Carpenters sing their gorgeous version of "Solitaire" we discover that Andy Williams charted 18 months earlier in the UK with his take and got to #4 (!).
Eeeek: Crispy & Co. (who??) doing a cheapjack cover of "Brazil" obviously intended to compete with the Richie Family's version. Which it did, successfully, in the UK.
Good lord: TWO versions of "Paloma Blanca" in this chart; the George Baker Selection (which also hit over here) and a Jonathan King take. They're identical, except Baker pronounces it "BLAHN-kah" while King does that idiotic , flat, Brit "BLANK-a".
wow: THREE of my fave slices of early-disco cheeze in this chart... Bimbo Jet's "El Bimbo"; Biddu Orch with "Summer of '42" and 5000 Volts doing "I'm on Fire". Fantabulous.
wow: "Pandora's Box" by Procol Harum is NTM.

after many years, finally found a station that streams Dick Bartley's Saturday nite oldies show: "Kool 98.3" in Mitchell SD (!). The show's on from 4-11pm Pacific time.

Tuned in "lost 45s" just in time for Mr South's glorious "Games People Play"
