• YOUR correspondent mentioned a record by Mud called The Cat Crept In, (Singalong with Chas & Dave… or Max Bygraves?, August 28).

They also had similar discs such as Dynamite and Tiger Feet as well as slower-paced records like Oh Boy and Lonely This Christmas.

These days top stations such as Heart, Capital and Radio 1 have a very restricted playlist.

They should play new releases by older artists such as Cliff, Rod and Madonna and also play records by other artists over 40.

This would inject a much-needed boost to the pop industry and renew interest in the weekly Top 10.
