The b-side of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer,” “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” is added to its entry.

The top three records remain unchanged for the third week.  All will stay put a while longer.

“Ballad of Walter Wart” by the Thorndike Pickledish Choir, a novelty record that Bubbled Under at number 131 in Billboard, will oddly get up to number 21 here.  Oddly, because the Thorndike Pickledish Choir was actually Robert O. Smith, a DJ at KJR’s rival Seattle station KOL.  Even more oddly, the record never made KOL’s survey.

The other debuts this week were all Top 40 Billboard hits.  Punk classic “Pushin’ Too Hard” by L.A.’s Seeds peaked at number 36 in BB but will rise to number four here.  A couple of lighter records will not fare so well: the Seekers’ “Georgy Girl” (2BB/13KJR) and easy-listening instrumental “Music to Watch Girls By” by the Bob Crewe Generation (15BB/30KJR).
