The KRLA weekly Tunedex in this era was printed in the KRLA BEAT newspaper. Which meant that there was usually room for a bunch of DJ pictures or a huge KRLA Presents concert ad on the adjacent pages..KHJ's Boss 30 seemed to stick with the big national hits..KRLA was a bit more adventurish with the music (or maybe it was because of those $100 bills wrapped around the new 45s...) #1 song was Searchin' For My Love - Bobby Moore (and the Rhythm Aces) (huge hit on KRLA but peaked at #27 nationally on the Billboard Hot 100). Slipping to #2, A Groovy Kind Of Love - The Mindbenders. Jumping to #3 from #6, Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones. Slipping to #4 from #3, Along Comes Mary - The Association. Jammed up at #5, When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge. Jumping to #6 from #18, Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)- Swingin' Medallions. Jumping to #7 from #15, Dirty Water - The Standells. Jammed up at #8, Hey Joe - The Leaves (peaked at #31 nationally on the Billboard Hot 100 chart). Slipping to #10 from #9, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield. Dropping to #11 from #10, Don't Bring Me Down - The Animals. Jumping to #13 from #20, Little Girl - The Syndicate Of Sound. Tumbling to #15 from #7, Younger Girl - The Hondells. Jumping to #21 from #27, Where Were You When I Needed You - The Grass Roots. Jammed up at #22, Diddy Wah Diddy - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band (never charted nationally on the Billboard Hot 100 chart). Debuting at #26, Day For Decision - Johnny Sea. Up to #30 from #33, Have I Stayed Too Long? - Sonny & Cher. Up to #34 from #37, Sweet Talkin' Guy - The Chiffons. Debuting at #39,, You Better Run - The Young Rascals. Slipping to #40 from #39, Don't Do It Some More - The Cindermen (never charted nationally on the Billboard Hot 100; this must have been the "house band" for the Cinnamon Cinder nightclub). KRLA was easing into "All Request Radio" at this time and that would be their version of Top 40 to compete with KHJ in 1967. Survey image courtesy of California Aircheck
