No 42. The label of Private Stock PVT 59 shows the artist is 'Walter Murphy and The Big Apple Band'.
No 46. The label of Tamla Motown TMG 1032 shows the title is 'I Thought It Took A Little Time (But Today I Fell In Love)'.
No 50. The label of GTO GT 62 shows the title is 'L.O.D. (Love On Delivery)'.

No 42 - A FIFTH OF BEETHOVEN - WALTER MURPHY & THE BIG APPLE BAND from the album GREATEST KARAOKE HITS VOL. 242. Wrong for every reason imaginable. Proof indeed, if any was needed, that OCC are not fit for purpose.

Not sure what the problem is on this.
The title is right the label and catalogue no. is right.
Weeks in chart and highest position reached equates with entry in The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles 14th edition.
You must know something I'm not privy to.
Would be good if you could elaborate
Cheers

It was me having a rant about the way OCC depict the track as being on that album. I think it is an insult to the original artist when they show an image depicting karaoke.
I don't know why they bother with images as more often than not the image has nothing at all in common with the song or artist and can be quite misleading. It's a sloppy way of presenting our charts to us, the people who bought the records to make the charts. Just my opinion, of course Alan.

Alan McKenna
I see now Phil. I agree with the images. I tend to take no notice of them as most are rubbish and irrelevant to the song. Another thing I find annoying is if I want to listen to a track more often than not the song played is not the original and in some cases is the wrong song altogether. I mostly search them out on YouTube.
Having said that I find OCC excellent for my ongoing project as it is the only site I have found that gives me both single and LP charts for the 20th Century

Phil Davis
I very rarely play the tracks from OCC as, like you say Alan, they are seldom the original recordings, or, at best, a horrendous digital remastering.
I think it's also ridiculous how they state at the head of each chart "The Official UK Top 40 chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company..." right from day one. As you will know, there have been several compilers of these charts going back to the first one by Percy Dickins of the New Musical Express, which OCC incorrectly refer to as New Music Express on their 'The history of the Official Charts' page.
Up until a few years ago there were several sites who made our charts available to us, but OCC used their weight to close most of them down so that they could produce their rather slap-shod version.
I also refer to the charts as 'ours'. After all, it is us, the record buying public, who determine the content of the charts. As such, I don't believe one company should have a monopoly of this info.
Just my opinion again of course.

Looks like we're stuck with it Phil.
