Australian-Charts-EP.26 1964 Pt.3

Australian Music Archives

Returning to the Chart Series and the 3rd quarter of 1964; a relatively lean period for Australian artists as Beatlemania begins to bite. However, there was a handful of high-charting Australian artist releases and a couple from NZ artists who were very successful in Australia. Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs continue their surge with Don't 'Cha Know/Mashed Potato. If you're up to it, count the "Yeahs" in Mashed Potato! Rob E.G. hits with a self-composed big ballad, When You're Not Near. The Mod Queen, Dinah Lee, makes an Australian Chart debut with Don't You Know Yockomo. And, the epic hit from Ray Columbus & The Invaders is released to join a bevy of overseas stars in reaching No.1. And much, much more, including Noeleen Batley's Little Treasure From Japan.
