Glen Shorrock Needle in a Haystack
Broadcast on Hey Hey it’s Saturday
22.06.1981
If my memory is right this was Shorrock’s first appearance as a solo artist after the split from LRB
Band Line up included: Glen Wheatley, Animal on Drums, Red, Willy etc.
Shorrock fans will love this, I have left the segment intact as it was fun stuff.
Enjoy

Hi, I am trying to locate a weekly top 40 or top 100 list of songs in Australia. I remember listening to a weekly top 40 chart program presented by Barry Bistle (Barry Bistle and the weekly top 40). Unfortunately I’m having trouble finding a record of this on the net.

I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Yours sincerely

Danny,

Perhaps you are using the wrong spelling in your search.
The name is spelt – Bissell.
I speak with a cousin of mine often and he often mentions Barry Bissell.
Cheers..
Heather
