UK Top 40 Week Ending 6th June 1970

Welcome to my complete top 40 for the 6th June 1970. In this week when I first started work at a 16 year old, we had Mary Hopkins, Who, Cliff, Moodies, Elvis and Gerry Monroe and even The England World Cup Squad 1970 with 'Back Home' in the charts amongst many others. Its quite a diverse chart as well so have fun. I'd bet you've not heard many of them on the radio since 1970 either. Remember track 1 in here is chart position 40 and track 40 in here is chart position 1. P.S. I used the album version of the Guess Who track 'American Woman'. Enjoy..
