A most unusual (if all but a rare) CKLW music chart from May 29, 1967. Strawberry Fields? Found this CKLW survey some time ago. Would like to know more behind this CKLW chart from 1967.
By May of 1967, the CKLW Hit Parader or Fun Radio charts were already in circulation, having been distributed to record retail outlets at that time.
Just thinking here, a wild guess — note Gary Mitchell — could it be the 1967 CKLW jocks were appointed a given chart week tabulating the CKLW top 30 hits with a DJ’s name on them?
But of course, we never came across a CKLW radio chart like this one! Feedback, anyone? Feel free dropping us your thoughts and comments. 🙂
