No 43. The label of Chrysalis CHS 2570 shows the artist is 'The Fun Boy Three with Bananarama'.

I think there may be an error in this and the following chart. The previous week Stargazers were a new entry at 57, and according to the Guinness books they spent 3 weeks in the chart. Checking with a well-known chartologist on the web I have it from them that Stargazers were at 61 in this week and 56 (their peak) in the following week. Guinness does indeed have a peak of 56 for them. Also Imagination's Flashback, which on here occupies both 61 this week and 56 the following week, has 13 weeks according to Guinness and 15 weeks on here. So either Guinness muddled the two records up originally for these two weeks, or else the information here is where the muddle up has occurred.
Additional information since I wrote the above: Just checked original Record Mirror scans for the week before this and the week after this (couldn't find this actual week). The week before this one RM shows that Imagination and Stargazers were BOTH at 56, rather than Stargazers being at 57. The week after this one RM shows Stargazers again at 56, and the 'last week' position shows it was at 61 this week. I think that someone has taken the fact that the number 56 record from last week moved to number 61 this week, but didn't know that 56 was a tied position, and thus went by the only record they had at 56 the previous week, which happened to be the wrong one from the tied position.

There are many errors like this Danny, particularly in the 1960s and 70s. OCC have difficulty reproducing the original charts correctly when positions were shared. That's how they end up in a mess in following weeks when 'last week' positions sometimes refer to incorrect records.
