Merry-Go-Round--Live

“Happy Together” drops off the survey from number five, but comes back next week at number 22; I assume it was left off this week accidentally.

“Penny Lane” drops off, leaving “Strawberry Fields Forever” to continue alone for the rest of its survey run.

An oddity among the week’s debuts is the listing of Herb Alpert’s “Casino Royale” and Burt Bacharach’s “Bond Street” as a single entry.  “Casino Royale” is the theme song from the movie of the same name, while “Bond Street” is a reworking of a song from the soundtrack originally called “Home James, Don’t Spare the Horses.”  Apparently KJR grouped them together because of that connection, though they appeared on separate 45s.  I don’t recall them ever doing anything like that again.  (The combined entry will peak at number 39 next week; in Billboard, “Casino Royale” got to number 27 while “Bond Street” did not chart.)

Nino & April’s version of the old standard “My Old Flame,” which almost made the BB Hot 100, stopping at 101, will peak here next week at number 47.  “Can’t Seem to Make You Mine” by the Seeds got to number 41 in Billboard, while here it will make it to number seven.  Another Los Angeles group, the Merry-Go-Round, will get up to number 33 with “Live” (that’s short-I live not long-I live) versus their number 63 peak nationally.  And Eric Burdon & the Animals’ “When I Was Young,” a number 15 BB hit, will reach number four here.
