UK POP CHART HISTORY - OCTOBER 1972
A bit of a novelty at number 1 this week. Lieutenant Pigeon's 'Mouldy Old Dough' was issued earlier
this year in February, but sank without trace. However, after storming to the top of the charts in
Belgium, it was decided to re-issue the single here in the UK. This time around, the Coventry-based
four piece managed to strike gold when 'Mouldy Old Dough' achieved the enviable position of being the
second biggest selling single of 1972.
Alice Cooper gets this week's
highest new entry at number 17 with 'Elected'. Alice and his band were obviously hoping to repeat the
success of their summer chart topper 'School's Out'.
