Richard Green’s Vintage Chart show dives into some real classic years as 1958 and 1973 come into focus.

In 58, there’s a young rock ‘n’ roller creating a piece of singles chart history and a “Carry On” Star having a couple of hit produced by arguably the “most influential music producer of all time”.

1973 sees “text speak” from a Brum based glam rock group in the album charts , whilst giants such as David Bowie, Thin Lizzy and Status Quo continue the “rock” feel from the Top 40 rundown.

So whether you’re a fan of classic crooners, glam rockers or just great music , then make sure you’re with Richard Green’s Vintage Chart Show.
