NEW YORK — The influx of British disk product continues to climb with more new product released this week and strong representation, led by the Beatles, on the charts. Counting 12 Beatle disks on the Hot 100, and seven other disks on the chart. British acts now hold 19 per cent of the big board listing.
The Dave Clark Five has two strong items on the chart in “Glad All Over” and “Bits And Pieces”. The group will be looking to strengthen its position with another trip to the States May 29. This two-week visit will include concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall (29) and another appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (31). Concerts in major cities are also being set up and the group will record its second LP prior to leaving for the U. S. The group has also signed a film contract with Anglo-Amalgamated and will begin a 10-week shooting schedule in October.
In addition to Clark, Dusty Springfield, the Swinging Blue Jeans, the Carefrees and the Searchers hold spots.
And the flood of Anglo product continues. The Searchers are presented on two other labels beside their hit “Needles and Pins”. Their next British record, possible U. S. follow-up to “Needles,” is “Don’t Throw Your Love Away” previously recorded by the Orlons here.
Other hard-hitting British products released this week that is getting extensive air play are “Not Fade Away”, by the Rolling Stones on London, and the Hollie’s version of Doris Troy’s hit of last year “Just One Look”, on Imperial. There’s a new Cliff Richard disk available on Epic as well, “I’m The Lonely One” coupled with “I Only Have Eyes for You”. Capitol of Canada is unintentionally creeping into the Richard market as well, with French titles “J’Attendre” getting extensive play and sales in New England. END
