Referring to this weekend's 1967 countdown, did you all notice Dave Hoeffel played the rarely-heard "clean" version of "Brown-Eyed Girl". It's the version that replaces the line "makin' love in the green grass/behind the stadium with you" with "laughin' and a-runnin' behind the stadium with you". Apparently some radio stations in 1967 had a problem with the phrase "makin' love", believing it was too suggestive. So Van Morrison and/or his producer did some rerecording or studio editing to provide the more tame version of the song. (Of course, even the "dirty" version of this song is tame compared to so much of the music released during the past thirty years or so.)

"Hey Jude" is the second longest song of the rock era to reach # 1-It ran over seven minutes-Four years later,"American Pie" by Don Mc Lean clocked in at over eight minutes-Initially,most stations played the abbreviated version.

# 1 on 10/24/60 was "I Want To Be Wanted" by Brenda Lee-That was one of the optional extras on the countdown from 10/24/70 which is one of the two countdowns being offered by Premiere this weekend.

Next weekend will feature the Top Hits of 1969--most likely 11-1-69.

If next week's countdown is from 11/1/69,"Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley was # 1.

Suspicious Minds was the first song that year to spend only one week at #1. Two major double sided hits (Beatles and CCR) were out before Billboard began listing the A and B sides together at the same position. IIRC that was on 11-29-69 when Something and Come Together were listed together jumping from Number 7 to Number 1.

I still question that policy change. Cash Box never officially did it. Around that time, "Fortunate Son" was charting higher than "Down on the Corner." We tend to think of the latter as the A side.
Over the ensuing weeks and months, the chart action of the songs reflected the record companies' dramatic shift away from two-sided winners.
