Summer of '74 ~ week three day 2


Sunday 11th August

?

Well that is all there is in the diary for today!! Obviously couldn't be bothered. Probably stayed in bed listening to Donny.

So not wanting to waste a page (another fact about being brought up in the 60's/70's nothing was wasted, the waxed paper bread was wrapped in was carefully folded in a draw and used to wrap our sandwiches, you couldn't open another packet of biscuits until the last ones opened were eaten and if you got a ladder in your tights you used nail varnish to stop it running further,making them last a few more trips to school)

Anyhow here is the UK top ten for week ending the 11th August 1973.

Every Sunday my brother and I would listen to it on the radio and write down the top 20 as fast as the DJ was saying it ...... You had to do this as the Top 20 would always be discussed in school on Monday

1 Gary Glitter .........I'm The Leader Of The Gang (I Am)
2 Peters And Lee.........Welcome Home (how dreadful and this is how it probably sounded like on my tranny)
3 Mungo Jerry.........Alright Alright Alright
4 Suzi Quatro........48 Crash
5 Carpenters.........Yesterday Once More (before the Karaoke.... singing into the hair brush material)
6 Osmonds............Going Home
7 David Bowie........Life On Mars (one of my favourite Bowie tracks ... full blast in the car!)
8 Al Martino.........Spanish Eyes
9 Goons............Ying Tong Song ( I am saying nothing!!!!!!)
10 Nazareth.......Bad Bad Boy
