I've armed myself with three years worth of Black Music magazines so that I can refer to the charts of 1973/74/75 and come up with more ideas for future episodes.
I managed to resist the temptation to use any Gary Glitter and Slade, both were huge in the early 70's and constantly played in youth clubs at the time. Then again, so was Lieutenant Pigeon...
