Description

Don Arden, former manager of the Small Faces, refutes claims that chart rigging is being carried out. Claims that people are mass buying particular records to propel the groups to the higher end of the charts are folly, he claims, as sales would have to reach somewhere near 20,000 records in order for a record to reach the top 50. Male interviewer not identified.
