Does anyone here have, or have access to, a book by George R. White entitled "35 Years Of British Hit EPs" ?  Published in 2001 and currently slightly rarer than hen's teeth. What I'm looking for are the week-by-week EP chart placings for the following UK EPs:

4 By The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys Hits
God Only Knows.

Ta muchly in advance.

#2 Beach Boys Hits, down from #1 the previous week.

Alas, no Beach Boy's E.P.'s in the charts in Record Mirror, Week ending, November 7, 1964. Perhaps just a tad too early!

No problem, Andrew. I did sneak a peek at your excellent UK Discography to establish a starting point.

You're most welcome and I'm glad I could help you out in some way. I knew I collected these for a reason  Cheesy

Just a few words to say that, thanks entirely due to metal flake paint, the Beach Boys UK EP charts positions are now complete. You sir, are a star.  Smiley

OK, so I'm a geek about this stuff... but on November 19th 1966, The Beach Boys pretty much dominated the UK charts:

Good Vibrations - #1 single
The Beach Boys Hits - #1 EP
God Only Knows - #3 EP
Best Of The Beach Boys - #3 LP
Pet Sounds - #6 LP
Summer Days... - #21 LP
