“History Repeats Itself” charges up the survey; minds are blown.

“Spanish Flea” drops off the Herb Alpert entry; next week “What Now My Love” drops off as well.

Twelve new records this week.  Two non-BB: Dino, Desi & Billy’s “Tie Me Down,” which will peak at number 30, and “She’s Boss” by Seattle garage band the Dimensions, which will stay on the survey for several weeks and peak at number 12.  A rare ballad by Tacoma’s Wailers, “It’s You Alone,” got to number 118 in Billboard but will rise all the way to number two here, one of the largest differences for records that made both charts.  (THE biggest difference, 132BB/3KJR, is coming up in November 1966.)

Among the other debuts, the most significant discrepancies are for Peter, Paul & Mary (52BB/22KJR) and the Shangri-Las (65/18).
