Both tracks were available on the British Album "Beatles For Sale", as were "Words Of Love" and "Kansas City", shown as the #11 Hit this week as "unavailable". That's because those two tracks would wind up on the Capitol Records release counterpart "Beatles VI" a few months later, along with the aforementioned #1 single. (Here in The States, "Beatles '65" was the album of choice at the time ... and it included their previous #1 Record "I Feel Fine" / "She's A Woman".)
Check out the #6 Hit ... it's by Boston Red Sox Outfielder Tony Conigilaro, who scored a nice-sized, regional hit with "Why Don't They Understand". (Although this one never made the Billboard Chart, it "bubbled under" in Cash Box Magazine at #121. Another local hit, "Little Red Scooter", is also quite a collectible record.)
Tony was a VERY popular player with The Red Sox and sort of an all-around playboy and ladies man at the time, even dating actress Mamie Van Doren.
Last week's WGLI chart showed "Red Roses For A Blue Lady" charting as an instrumental hit for Bert Kaempfert ... this week's WKBR Chart shows the vocal hit by Wayne Newton at #7. (Vic Dana would also have a hit record with this tune in many markets. Nationally, his would be the biggest hit version.)
