VA - In The JANUARY Charts 60 Years Ago (A Butterboy Compilation)

 

60 YEARS AGO THIS JANUARY !

VA - In The JANUARY Charts 60 Years Ago (A Butterboy Compilation)

For those who were looking for the January 1961 installment of this series here it is.... Nobody missed it previously. I started In February as a once off project, but as these things go, it became a regular post.  The next series will concentrate on 1966.

All these track were in the US and/or UK charts in JANUARY 1961, 60 years ago. 

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

  6. I definitely missed the first month of '61 but was too lazy to ask - now you've done it! Thank you very much, Mr. B., for completing this often overlooked year. Now I'll be keenly following the months of '66 aka "The Year that Pop exploded", as the famous British writer Jon Savage called it some years ago (an excellent book, BTW, highly recommended)! Best, TC

    1. Hi The Chairman,
      Glad you have the whole set now. As for i966 it may have been described as "The Year that Pop exploded" but I think you will surprised how this series will show 1966 music, to me it still seems to finding its way. That being said i wont be concentrating on just the hits it will include all songs in the charts. Hope you will enjoy them first episode in January.

      Cheers

  7. Thank you very much for the completion of this year Butterboy! I absolutely disagree with your statement "Nobody missed it previously". It is just a fact that your visitors have good manners and do not stress your generousity by asking: And what's about january? so, thank you again and i wish you a nice weekend! Alfred.

    1. Hi Alfred,
      The statement I made is just saying that Nobody actually missed that installment as I didn't create it until just now. It was not a complaint on my part. I am glad I did complete the series. It now looks complete. I did receive a number questions asking if it existed so am glad its now done.
      I am glad you have enjoyed the series. 1966 is the next series, Starting January. Once complete I will also do a few special Additions for 1966.

      Enjoy the week ahead.

      Cheers.
