JASON'S   JUKEBOX

V o l u m e # 2 3

Chart Date: June 24th 1965

Online Date: 1st July 2004

Cover
The Hollies:
Greatest Hits
Two of the biggest acts during the first decade of Rock'n'Roll, Elvis Presley and The Everly Brothers, had held sway the previous week, but now emerging UK band The Hollies forced their way through to the top spot with I'm Alive.

The single had climbed from #4 to #1, pushing both Presley's Crying In The Chapel and The Everlys' Price Of Love down a notch to #2 and #3 respectively. The Top 5 was completed by Burt Bacharach's Trains And Boats And Planes, up from #5 to its peak of #4, and Colours by Donovan (moving #10-#5).


Cover
Cliff Richard:
The Singles Collection
There were comparitively modest chart performances by The Kinks and The Who on the rundown of 39 years ago. Set Me Free (up 4 to #9) was the former's latest Top 10 hit, but it would progress no further. Meanwhile, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere by The Who had temporarily gone into reverse; its #24 debut was followed by a 13-place jump to #11, but now it dropped back to #13.

Chart regulars the Dave Clarke Five's Come Home was languishing in the lower half of the Top 20, moving up 3 places to a #16 high. Immediately below them, Cliff Richard was on course to miss the Top 10 for the first time in 26 releases with On My Word (moving #21-#17 on its way to #12 in early July). His erstwhile backing band The Shadows were themselves just inside the Top 20 at #19 with Stingray. The records occupying the positions from #16 to #20 were all on the Columbia label; in addition to the Dave Clark Five, Cliff and The Shadows, balladeering duo Peter And Gordon were at #18 with their former #2 smash True Love Ways and The Yardbirds moved #32-#20 with their future #2 smash Heart Full Of Soul.


Cover
The Man In Black:
The Very Best of
Johnny Cash
The Walker Brothers enjoyed a brace of UK chart-toppers in the mid-1960s, but Love Her was not one of them. Having risen to #20, the single now dropped back to #21. Similarily, the Moody Blues' From The Bottom Of My Heart (climbing 7 places to #22) failed to emulate the #1 achievement of their own Go Now. Another struggler, The Beach Boys' Help Me Rhonda, moved up from #30 to #28 on its 4th week of chart action.

At the bottom end of the Top 40, three Bob Dylan-penned hits held the #33, #34, and #35 positions - with another at #39. Soon-to-be UK #1 Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds was up 5 to #33, Johnny Cash's take on It Ain't Me Babe fell 6 to #34, while Dylan's own Maggie's Farm also climbed 5 places from its entry position of #40 - passing his outgoing hit Subterranean Homesick Blues (down from #26 to #39) on the way.
