File:BBC Radio 1 - Top 20 (25-Jun-1978) (*FULL SHOW!)


 * You can now hear un-cut versions of my Chart Show recordings in full on my MixCloud channel: https://www.mixcloud.com/RetroRadioUK/


 * Yay! YouTube's copyright sensor hasn't been triggered on this one, so you get the full show!

It's only now - some 40+ years later - that I realise what a debt of gratitude we owe Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. They kept Father Abraham off the top spot! :)

Occasionally, people have picked me up on the dates of these recordings but my own hand-writing, written on the cassette at the time of recording, doesn't lie!

 * The Official Charts Company wrongly lists this chart as representing: 18 June 1978 - 24 June 1978:

This is because the Official Charts data doesn't take into account that the chart was published every TUESDAY (not on Sundays) during the 1970s. In fact, new charts were not announced on a Sunday until 1987: https://thechartshows.fandom.com/wiki/Chart_Show_Presenters

This programme was captured on my Akai GXC-40T stereo cassette-receiver onto the B-side of my final BASF LH C-120 cassette.
