Introducing the Sweet discography[edit]

I am pleased to publish this Sweet discography that I have been working on for a while. It is based on the 1 October 2008 version of the discography previously embedded in the Sweet article. So what's new?

  1. A few albums have been added, and they have all been sorted into studio, live and compilations.
  2. Verifiable chart positions have been added for albums, formatted into nice tables.
  3. I did my best to find references for the single chart positions and succeeded for most of them. However, some of them I didn't manage to source (like the Australian and Dutch chart positions, as well as the British higher than Top 40) Rather than removing them, I chose to keep them and mark them with footnote #2. You are more than welcome to add a verifiable source if you know of one.
  4. You will also see that there are single chart positions for some new countries: Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden.
  5. Note that I use three-letter ISO country codes to denominate the countries, rather than the usual home-cooked codes that are used in other dicsographies I have seen.

Hope you like it! – IbLeo (talk) 20:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great effort on the new discography btw- lots of hard work and research, so props to you!Hongkongmick (talk) 06:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate. – IbLeo (talk) 07:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I own a double CD "Live at the Marquee (1986)" - actually a CD I like. It's not listed with the live records, any purpose for that? Thanks so much, Matthias 2001:A60:1270:A401:4D68:95BD:3E56:62B (talk) 14:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Was "Love is the Cure" released as single?[edit]

Love Is The Cure released as a single? I don't think so- I've been collecting avidly for two decades and have never heard a whisper of its existenceHongkongmick (talk) 06:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no source for this, I just carried it over from the old discography. If the single exists, I could imagine that it was only released in Germany where Sweet always were (and still are) very popular. – IbLeo (talk) 07:14, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have posed this question on a massage board at the Sweet website (thesweet.com). None of the responses positively confirmed or rebutted the theory the song was officially released but one Scandinavian poster suggested the song was played on radio in Sweden around the time of the album's release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hongkongmick (talk • contribs) 05:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That the song was played on the radio is hardly a proof that it has been released as a single. If nobody over there has positively heard about it, I would say it is a bad sign. I have been looking a bit around on the internet myself, and I didn't find even the faintest proof of existence of a "Love is the Cure" single. In consequence I have removed it from the discography for now. We can always put it back in if needed. We can also hope that the guy who put it in the discography originally will notice and react. – IbLeo (talk) 17:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources for UK Charts[edit]

Discussion moved from my user talk page for history sake and to allow other people to comment.

Very good work on the Sweet discography. I may have totally misinterpreted your request for additional sourced information to support the fuller UK / GBR chart details, but I own the [1] book, which may help you. Drop me a line for specifics - if I have misunderstood your plea, then please ignore this aged old fool. Regards,

  1. ^ Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums (19th ed.). London: Guinness World Records Limited. pp. p. 543. ISBN 1-904994-10-5. {{cite book}}: |pages= has extra text (help)

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much sir ;-). Maybe I wasn't clear on my problem in sourcing the British single charts: My online source, the UK Top 40 Hit database obviously does not allow me to verify the chart positions higher than 40, i.e. "Turn It Down" (#41), "It's... It's... The Sweet Mix" (#45) and "Sweet 2th - The Wigwam Willy Mix" (#85). If you tell me that your book confirms these positions, I will indicate it as source and the problem is solved. Secondly, I am kind of surprised that (again, according to the UK Top 40 Hit database), besides Sweet Fanny Adams, none of the original studio albums charted. Especially since Desolation Boulevard was certified Silver acc. to BPI. I don't really see how that could happen without the album entering the charts. So maybe you could check what your book has to say about the albums? It would be very helpful of you. – IbLeo (talk) 04:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to the book mentioned above, all the UK Singles Chart placings are absolutely correct, except for "Sweet 2th - The Wigwam Willy Mix" (number 85). The chart was only a Top 75 in those days, so number 85 simply did not exist. Incidentally, according to the book, and I quote, "It's... It's... The Sweet Mix" is a medley of the following songs: "Blockbuster"/"Fox on the Run"/"Teenage Rampage"/"Hell Raiser"/The Ballroom Blitz". The UK Albums Chart placings are also correct; except for the addition of the compilation album, The Very Best of Sweet, which reached number 72 in January 2005 (one week presence). Desolation Boulevard definetly did not chart in the UK - not sure about the silver disc accreditation (I have no source for these - whilst not disputing the one you quote). I hope this helps. Regards,
Derek R Bullamore (talk) 09:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is very helpful indeed!
  1. I have removed the reservation I had on the source for "Turn it Down" and "It's... It's... The Sweet Mix", and I have added your book as a source for both the UK album and singles charts.
  2. I also added the 2005 compilation The Very Best of Sweet.
  3. In the mean time I found myself another online source: Chart Stats. It also confirms your books positions, so I added it as a 3rd source.
  4. Chart Stats claims that "Sweet 2th - The Wigwam Willy Mix" reached #85 and Hit Music indicates that from May 1991 "ChartsPlus featured the singles chart with positions 76-200...". So I left it in for the moment. You are welcome to challenge it further.

PS. Derek, I would love to hear you opinion (and your books) on Talk:Ballroom Blitz#The song is called THE Ballroom Blitz, and Talk:Give Us a Wink#Give Us an Exclamation mark!. – IbLeo (talk) 21:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have left my comments at Talk:Ballroom Blitz#The song is called THE Ballroom Blitz, and Talk:Give Us a Wink#Give Us an Exclamation mark!. My source, mentioned above, states the UK Singles Chart reaches a low of Number 75. Whilst there are website(s) listing 'chart' placings lower than this, they are not officially published chart positions. Perhaps inclusion of 'placings' lower than 75 should stipulate this fact, or otherwise not quote the UK Singles Chart nor the Guinness book as a source. The official UK chart expanded to a Top 75 on 6 May 1978, but has not, to my knowledge, further grown beyond this. I trust this clarifies my understanding of the position (or placing, or not) ! Regards,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 19:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I have added a note explaining this reservation. Feel free to update it if it's unclear.

Released or not?[edit]

Apropos the new table covering off on releases and peak chart positions: I was wondering whether further distinction should/could be made regarding whether a song was actually ever released into a certain market. For example, 4th of July is listed as a release and the table infers that it did not chart in any of the countries covered by the table. Of course we know it was only ever released in Australia but a casual observer may be forgiven for thinking it was world-wide release. For the sake of accuracy should we not attempt to avoid such erroneous conclusions being made. Alexander Graham Bell is another case in point- not released in the US but the table doesn't tell us that.Hongkongmick (talk) 04:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This issue is not specific to the new table, it could be have been discussed for the old version as well. Nevertheless it is a valid point and I am happy you bring it up. You say about 4th of July "we know it was only ever released in Australia". Well, actually, I didn't and I was wondering if it was ever released at all (like you do yourself for "Love Is The Cure"). Which brings me to my point: Who will be able to determine, for each single, if it was released or not in each of the countries listed (with a reliable source)? I certainly won't be able to come up with the list of singles released in Austria, just to take a random example. If we can't do that, in my mind it won't be appropriate to use a specific symbol in the table cells meaning "not released" as it would imply that "—" means "released but didn't chart". Today, "—" simply means "didn't chart", it does not pronounce itself on whether the record was actually released in that country. An alternative approach could be simply to add known information (like "Australia only") as a comment in the title cell, like we do for albums (e.g. Poppa Joe and Lo Mejor De The Sweet). What do you think? – IbLeo (talk) 06:42, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I reiterate that I think confusion will arise through the use of "-" to cover two divergent facts (failure to chart or not released). How we would certify (as it were) to a confirmed release might be problematic but I can certainly attest to such through accessing my collection for example but am doubtful this would be accepted as a verifiable source.Hongkongmick (talk) 08:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree with you that it would be an improvement to the article if we could find a way to distinguish between "not released" and "did not chart". Regarding the form, I suggest we take some time to see how it is handled in other discography articles. As this issue is probably quite common to 1970s artists, other contributors might have come up with a solution that we can reuse. As for the contents, I propose you start listing here what you know as well as the sources you might have. In a second step we can then discuss how we could fit it into the article. – IbLeo (talk) 08:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have gone through quite a few articles in Category:Discographies and I haven't yet found one that deals with this issue. So I am still unclear about how to handle it. – IbLeo (talk) 17:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1968-70 releases[edit]

It occurred to me that the new discography does not cover off on official releases by The Sweet through the period 1968-70. Whilst it was pre-success I'm of the view it should be included for the sake of completeness as there is coverage of the releases post-success. Thoughts and would you like some assistance to compile such if you concur it should be included?Hongkongmick (talk) 09:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They certainly should. This item is actually on top of my mental to-do list for this article :-). Do you want to take care of it? You probably know more of these releases than me; I am only aware of the 4 first singles mentionned in beginning of the article and I haven't even heard them. – IbLeo (talk) 07:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries- I went into the table and was immediately overwhelemd and didn't want to vandalise your efforts with my hamfisted editing! However, if you don't mind inserting the information, the releases were as follows:

  • 1968 Slow Motion/It's Lonely Out There (UK)
  • 1969 Lollipop Man/Time (UK, West Germany)
  • 1969 All You'll Ever Get From Me/The Juicer (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, West Germany, Holland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK, USA)
  • 1970 Get On The Line/Mr McGallagher (West Germany, Holland, UK)

The countries in which they were released are confirmed through my record collection. None of the singles charted according to subsequent interviews with Brian Connolly. Re-issues etc are not included in this tranche. And if you get the chance to hear the early stuff it's not bad, especially the B-sides which are tasty fuzz pysch pop. RegardsHongkongmick (talk) 12:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what happened with the section on All You'll Ever..., anyway it was a 1969 release.Hongkongmick (talk) 12:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, tables are quite complex and not the best place to start a Wikipedia career. It also took me a while to get the grip, and I haven't got it all figured out yet. I have added the four singles, capitalization per WP:ALBUMCAPS . B-sides are not included per MOS:DISCOG, neither did I include the list of countries were they are released (pending above dicussion). You say that "All You'll Ever Get from Me" is from 1969, but according to the current version of the Sweet article it was released in January 1970. So that's what I put in the discography for the moment, for consistency reasons. What makes you say that it's from 1969? If it is true, I'll change both the article and the discography. Finally, your section got to look funny because you let blanks in the beginning of the line (I took the liberty and corrected it). I can recommend you to bookmark Wikipedia:Cheatsheet for help on the basic editing features. Cheers. – IbLeo (talk) 15:52, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate- great work and yes All You'll Ever is from Jan 1970 (Brain fade!)Hongkongmick (talk) 16:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that settles the issue. Thanks for your input - together we get good work done! – IbLeo (talk) 16:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certifications for singles[edit]

Hi, just wondering whether this link could be cited for sales awards of their singles in the US. http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTSHongkongmick (talk) 09:23, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is already used as source for the album certifications - see reference #21. Indeed, we could add the single certifications as well. I will have a look at that when time allows it. – IbLeo (talk) 09:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I have added UK, US and Canadian certifications to the single discography. If you have some data (and sources) from other countries please post them here or update the article. –IbLeo (talk) 13:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet and Middle of the Road album - does it really exist?[edit]

Can anybody confirm that the first compilation album Sweet and Middle of the Road really exists? It is not mentioned in the Sweet article. It was carried over from the old version of the discography. I have never seen it mentioned anywhere else. – IbLeo (talk) 17:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the vinyl album exists- it got a release in 1973 in Germany on Ariola-Express. A Sweet-Middle of The Road compilation also bobbed up as BMG CD in Brazil some time in the mid-90's.58.161.181.90 (talk) 08:02, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you certain about the year 1973? And do you know if it was the first release and we consequently need to correct the release year (currently 1970)? By curiosity, what is the song list (for the Sweet side) on the 1973 album? Thanks in advance for your help. –IbLeo (talk) 08:24, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Leo- the track listing is Slow Motion, It´s Lonely Out There, Questions, I´m On My Way, The Spider, My Little Girl From Kentucky. These, of course, are not all Sweet tracks. The Spider and My Little Girl From Kentucky feature Brian Connolly singing as a session singer, the latter track for a Belgian band known as The Closed - no other members of Sweet played on either track. There was a rash of European/Benelux album releases in 1973 featuring pre-RCA tracks and the Ariola-Express release whilst lacking a year of release on the sleeve is strongly believed to be among those.Hongkongmick (talk) 04:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Resolved. Ah, it's you Mick :-). Yes, it sound reasonable that somebody would try to cash in on Sweet's enormous success in 1973 by repackaging the early stuff. So I have corrected the year on this release based on your knowledge (in lack of any verifiable source). Once again, thanks a lot. – IbLeo (talk) 06:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion Leo, just moved countries and computers!Hongkongmick (talk) 08:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing the Australian Chart positions[edit]

I haven't been able to find any source for the Australian chart positions that I carried over from the old version of the discography in the Sweet article. Moreover, from 1966 to 1974 the Australian charts were published by Go-Set, and these are available online on http://www.poparchives.com.au/gosetcharts/. I went through 1972-74 and these are the singles I found in the Top 40 (at their peak):

As you can see, this does not at all correspond what we have in the article. So I am quite intrigued. Could it be that the position in the article comes from "David Kent (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970 - 1992. Australian Chart Book, St Ives, N.S.W. ISBN 0-646-11917-6.", and consequently the positions prior to 1974 are "retro-calculated" as explained here? Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated - especially if you own the book and can check out my theory! – IbLeo (talk) 15:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, there's nothing on australian-charts.com :( Giggy (talk) 22:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That was actually the first place I looked, but I forgot to mention it - sorry. I don't think australian-charts.com have data that far back in time. – IbLeo (talk) 06:57, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leo I have found a magazine, Australian Record Collector, July 1994 issue, No.9 (Publication # PP2376300009) in which a lengthy article on Sweet by Australian writer Garry O'Hoy is accompanied by a detailed Sweet discography. The discography also includes dates of release and chart positions. Those chart positions match perfectly with those previously/currently listed in the wiki article. Moreover there is some extra information regarding chart activity for your consideration; It's It's The Sweet Mix (1985 single) peaked at #36 on the Australian national chart, Teenage Rampage (Australian compilation album from 1981) got to # 53 and Sweet 16 (another compilation album) reached # 17. Andy Scott's Lady Starlight single peaked at # 85 in 1975. The Ballroom Blitz and More Sweet Hits, a 1992 CD got to # 19. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.181.90 (talk) 01:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice your last entry until now. I see that you went ahead and updated the discography with some of these positions. Well done (but please log in next time). Give me a little more time and I will indicate that the source for these positions is the magazine you mention, which sounds reliable enough to me. I will also have a look at some of the records you mention that currently are not listed in the discography. – IbLeo (talk) 06:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have indicated your magazine as source for the Australian chart positions.
  • For extra precision, can you please provide some more details: (a) the name of the article, and (b) the page number(s). Also I am not sure what the publication # you indicate translates into in the Template:Cite journal (issn, doi, pmid, etc.). Do you know?
  • I also added the Teenage Rampage collection you mention.
  • I am hesitant about "Lady Starlight" as it was released as an Andy Scott's solo single; I am afraid of opening up the Pandora's Box of the albums released by Andy Scott's Sweet after 1981, that we totally (happily) ignore for the time being. I think this deserve a separate discussion.
– IbLeo (talk) 12:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On my request somebody posted the pre-1989 chart positions from "David Kent (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970 - 1992. Australian Chart Book, St Ives, N.S.W. ISBN 0-646-11917-6." on this thread on the australian-charts.com forum:

  • 19-Mar-73*HP-58*WI-10 - The Sweet's Biggest Hits
  • 01-July-74*HP-33*WI-27 - Sweet Fanny Adams
  • 10-Mar-75*HP-13*WI-41 - Desolation Boulevard
  • 16-Jun-75*HP-02*WI-39 - Sweet Singles Album
  • 26-Jan-76*HP-09*WI-18 - Strung Up
  • 22-Mar-76*HP-17*WI-16 - Give us a Wink
  • 18-July-77*HP-51*WI-07 - Off the Record
  • 27-Mar-78*HP-40*WI-20 - Level Headed
  • 06-Aug-79*HP-87*WI-03 - Cut Above the Rest
  • 26-Oct-81*HP-53*WI-16 - Teenage Rampage
  • 08-July-85*HP-17*WI-09 - Sweet 16

This match exactly the pre-1989 positions. So I will add this book as a source. – IbLeo (talk) 13:16, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done – IbLeo (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More certifications[edit]

I have located a copy of a concert programme for Sweet's late 1973 British tour. At page 11 of the programme there is a section entitled 'Gold & Silver Discs'. The section reads (verbatim):

"Funny Funny"

  • A GOLD disc presented by South Africa (sic)

"Co-Co"

  • A GOLD disc presented by Germany
  • A GOLD disc presented by South Africa
  • A GOLD disc for world wide sales
  • A SILVER disc presented by England

"Poppa Joe"

  • A GOLD disc presented for world wide sales

"Little Willy"

  • A SILVER disc presented by England
  • A GOLD disc for world wide sales

"Wig Wam Bam"

  • A SILVER disc presented by England
  • A GOLD disc for world wide sales

"Block Buster"

  • A GOLD disc presented by Germany
  • A GOLD disc for world wide sales
  • A SILVER disc presented by England (this may well finish up with a gold disc)

"Hell Raiser"

  • A GOLD disc presented by Germany
  • A SILVER & GOLD DISC for world wide sales
  • A SILVER DISC presented by England

"Ballroom Blitz"

  • A SILVER disc presented by England (This is well on it's way for a gold)

To date Block Buster is the group's biggest selling record even though Little Willy earned the group a gold disc in America.(End section)

Hope this of some assistance58.161.181.90 (talk) 02:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty and added some wikicode to your entry to improve its readability, hope it's okay. It is certainly interesting information, and the certifications listed looks credible enough when comparing to the actual chart positions (e.g. Block Buster was #1 in England, but currently no certification is listed). However, I really wonder why these English certifications does not come out in the BPI certifications database (http://www.bpi.co.uk/platinum/platinum.html). Moreover, the source might have some trouble to stand up to the Wikipedia policy of Verifiability. Please give me some more time to think about it, we might need to get a third opinion on this. – IbLeo (talk) 06:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet in the Swiss charts[edit]

Leo- found this link which gives Swiss chart positions for Sweet. Hope this of interest/use. Hongkongmick (talk) 06:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you back! Yeah, I don't know who came up with "CHE" as the ISO code for Switzerland, it's not very obvious. – IbLeo (talk) 07:14, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source for Dutch chart positions[edit]

The chart positions for the Netherlands listed in the article are the only that I haven't been able to locate a source for at this point in time. Any help would be appreciated. – IbLeo (talk) 07:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I add that the obvious source http://www.dutchcharts.nl/ does not seem to have data going back that far. – IbLeo (talk) 07:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On the Swedish charts site there are some info about Sweeet positions on the dutch charts, maybe it's of some use to you: [1] / Inteloutside2 (talk) 00:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are absolutely right, and in fact the same positions are also on the Dutch site, but they are only visible if one goes in on a specific album or single, e.g. [2]. I will incorporate this in the discography. Thanks for putting me on the right track. IbLeo (talk) 08:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. The positions for the Dutch single charts have been corrected and sourced (except for "Alexander Graham Bell" where the source is still unknown - maybe it's even wrong?). IbLeo (talk) 12:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as I am Dutch, I can look up those positions in a book called Hitdossier, and even can I show the chart positions itself on Radio 538's Top 40 website. Anyway, the album "Level headed" made the Dutch LP Top 50 in 1978, crawling up to #38. 2NG (talk) 02:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great. It means that we got rid of the last unsourced chart reference in the article! I streamlined your references for "Alexander Graham Bell" and added the position for Level Headed you quote. Can you confirm that the chart positions in your book corresponds to what we have for the other singles as well? And can you tell if any other album make it into the Dutch LP Top 50? Thanks. – IbLeo (talk) 12:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware that per WP:CHARTS#Sourcing guide I have just updated the article to use the Dutch Top 40 rather than the Single Top 100 for Dutch singles. Supposedly, being the "most official" Dutch singles charts, it is also the one referred to by the book Hitdossier mentioned above. For example, the #38 position for "Alexander Graham Bell" concurs. – IbLeo(talk) 05:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish charts pre-1976[edit]

I have been doing some research around Swedish single charts pre-1976. It appears that Kvällstoppen was the sales chart from 1962-1975 and included singles & albums mixed together in one chart, while Tio i topp was based on airplay on Swedish national radio.

So Kvällstoppen would be the best chart of the two to use in WP. The full chart positions are available in the following book from 1993: “Eric Hallberg presenterar Kvällstoppen i P 3: Sveriges radios topplista över veckans 20 mest sålda skivor 10. 7. 1962 - 19. 8. 1975”

http://books.google.com/books?id=TguDPwAACAAJ&dq=kv%C3%A4llstoppen&hl=en&ei=2hx8TIC3Ho2OjAf_hpnSDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA

I bet that this explains why swedishcharts.com does not contain any chart positions older than late 1975: they probably don’t have the rights to reproduce them. However I found that someone in their forum posted a list of all number one singles in that period:

http://swedishcharts.com/forum.asp?todo=viewthread&id=14157&pages=1

Going through the list, one can see that Sweet had 6 number one singles from June 1971 to August 1975: "Funny Funny", "Co Co", "Poppa Joe", "Ballroom Blitz", "Fox On The Run", "Action". So they were indeed very popular in Sweden during the Chinnichap period; but anything else would have been more than surprising...

I would love to add the full chart positions from that period; so if anyone reading this is the lucky owner of above book (or could take it out of a library), it would be great if (s)he would be so kind to post the full list (not only the number ones) here, together with the page number where each position is found and the book's ISBN. – IbLeo(talk) 05:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NZ charts, pre- 1975[edit]
