______________________________________________________________________The New Singles scheduled for
release 1967-08-11 Hour 1Chris and Les
talk about the Marine Etc Broadcasting Offences Act of 14 August
1967. This was the final batch of new releases issued whilst BIG
L Radio London was still on the air. Who knows how well some of
these would have fared with further promotion. With few airplays
after 14 August 1967 the Herd single took until mid November to
reach a peak chart position of 8. Remember, it would be almost
seven weeks before BBC Radio One was launched. Caroline
continued for another seven months...There were 53 new singles released on Friday
