I have an amusing tale to tell about the track at No14 in this 1974 edition today, Stephanie de Sykes - Born With A Smile On My Face. The record had peaked at No2 a few weeks before. Well I own a copy of a 1977 album from K-Tel called "40 Number One Hits" which infact only has 39 No1 hits on it, because they put Stephanie de Sykes on it despite it never making No1 and peaking at No2. A quite remarkable mistake for a big album that was televised widely at the time.
Here's the TV ad for the falsely titled album!

Not as bad as the whole media trying to tell us that Please Please Me, Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown, Stranger on The Shore, A Picture of You and Sha La La La Lee never got to number one. This ridiculous nonsense is peddled by people who want to claim that the inaccurate, low sampled and at the time unobtainable and unread by the public Record Retailer chart was official.
