+1 on that!!
Of the non-Billboard chart books, this one interests me the most. In its day (50s thru early 70s) the Gavin Report was a respected chart, especially when
it came to what got played in markets outside the top 20 or so. Unfortunately, as time went on they opened reporting status to pretty much anyone who
could afford the subscription and by the late 80s or so had become almost irrelvant.

Does anyone know of a source for the pre–Gavin Report Lucky
Lager Dance Time weekly charts? I have a couple from KNBR
and a couple of other places, but they seem pretty rare.

Just out of curiosity, were you able to obtain a copy of
every chart during those 43 years? These seem more
difficult to find than Music Vendor charts and I know you
didn’t have all of those charts for those books.

I'd love to know this too!

We have a complete collection from March 1981 until the
end. For the charts prior to 1981, the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame has a near-complete collection and a couple of
private collectors stepped up with a few that the Hall of
Fame was missing. But overall, yes they are tough to find
these days!

So interesting to see in the sample pages the Beatles album tracks that were big airplay hits -- Michelle and Till There Was You. I raise an eyebrow at "All My Loving" being #1,
because I would think it would have charted a lot higher on the Hot 100 if the airplay was that high.

But I did find an old thread on the Steve Hoffman board on this topic, with several people, including Steve, recalling that Beatles album tracks got played on Top 40 radio a lot.
One person recalled "Michelle" being played so much on his local Top 40 station that he assumed it was the follow-up single to "Nowhere Man."

Yes, I also found some of the peak positions to be a bit strange too, but we just report what was published. The
week "All My Loving" was listed at #1, Gavin showed the entire Top 10 as Beatles songs!

I hope you also noticed the lines I put under The Beatles artist heading about Gavin showing "The Beatles" as #1
for a few weeks, showing just how red-hot they were in early 1964!

Because Gavin was pretty much a "one-man show" back then, he does have some quirky chart listings.
