Off The Chart: 1 November 1986Now that Halloween is out of the way, join us on Off The Chart for two hours of entirely non-scary hits from this week in 1986! We promise not to terrify you with a load of forgotten, obscure and neglected hits, tracks from three of the week’s new albums, a round-up of the day’s events or a track from the Canadian chart, although the top five might leave you a little uneasy. The only really scary thing is how old these records are.

  • Which famous quintet was spending its first week in the chart as a trio?
  • Where did Richard Stilgoe replace Jim Steinman?
  • And what’s the longest single word title of a UK hit single?

Tune in and find out!
