To put that in perspective,the top song in the nation when my family came here was,"Coming Up" (Live At Glasgow)-by Paul McCartney (featuring Wings.)
Y'know when people ask,where does the time go,you know what I say? "West!" 
Get it? 
Right on Walter. You have reminded me to add
that on April 2nd 1964 as I left England indeed just as I passed into the walkway out to my DC8 jet my friend and I had to wait at a doorway to let Peter Paul and Mary pass throuogh first!! (harbinger of a new era in popular song). We were leaving an England that had been in the grip of Beatlemania then for nigh on a year
Once in Montreal it was amusing to use my friend's very good Sony radio to scan the airwaves of North America (just getting to grips with the Watchman's favo(u)rite group)
I used to reckon that as the Fab Four at that time only had a pair of albums issued
if you scanned long enough it was possible to hear every track somewhere or other!!
