    Gee I'm going to have to do some research.

    I was born in 1958. The top ten might be 78's or even wax cylinders.

    The Who Sell Out
    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band--The Beatles
    There Are But Four Small Faces--Small Faces

    I found a site which told me the top ten albums in the UK for 1967, there were three showtune albums in there, one was Fiddler on the Roof, I got into bed last night and going round and round in my head was 'If I was a rich man .....'

    Found this site as well;

    Told me what was no. 1 single and album on my date of birth :D

    On 2nd Jul 1967 ...

    The Number 1 single was:
    Procol Harum - "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"

    The Number 1 album was:
    Beatles - "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
