IN THE CHARTS, APRIL 1963

VA - In The Charts APRIL 1963 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

This continues the series "In The Charts 1963" ... visiting the tracks that are familiar and forgotten.

All these tracks were in the US and/or UK charts in APRIL  1963. 

It seems like yesterday we were dancing to these tunes. I hope you enjoy this mix of artists from USA and UK. 

I hope you have enjoyed all of the sometimes-forgotten tracks from 1963.

  1. Thanks for continuing this series - I was there...
    Listening to this makes me realize how ready we were for the "British Invasion" or something like that!
    Cheers,

  4. Tracks 41 How Do You Do It, 41 Rhythm Of The Rain--which is correct number? Love these "In The Charts" sets!

    1. Hi NanceeKaye
      I got a little excited pulling this one together and rushed at the end. Probably best to replace track 21 with 41 as track 21 should not be here (it's a 1966 track).
      Cheers.

    2. Okay... So Gerry & The Pacemakers is now in 21 position, with "Hold Tight" deleted. Now, what goes after 41, "Cascades - Rhythm Of The Rain?" We now have missing 42... Still great set!

    3. Hi NaneeKaye.
      I guess when one item in the track list is wrong then it will throw the whole numbering system out.
      I this case 21 is incorrect and one of the 41's is renumbered, then it should follow that all others after should be renumbered from 42 onwards, making CD3 with only 19 tracks. Apologies for the inconvenience. Let hope the others in the series do not have the same issues.
      Cheers

    4. Thanks for the clarification... if it hadn't been for the song that didn't belong, which was deleted, we wouldn't have had a numbering problem, I would've just put Gerry & The Pacemakers in 42 position... anyway, thanks!! Have a great Easter weekend!
