35 correct, 1.5pts
54 John Williams did write the theme, albeit on 2 notes, which became the film score, but another person is accredited with the top 20 hit. Margo knows, because she bought the single when it came out. 1pt.

64. Hugo Montenegro orchestra 1968ish

Have to be harsh here:
31. was for the World Cup 1994, but who by? Well I have a copy of this, and it's on a nice pink label, and it predates the 1994 by at least a quarter-century.
32. Emmerson Lake & Palmer, that well known firm of solicitors, 1977 - Okay, just 5mins after Craig, so 1.5pts
34. Kenny Ball 1960? correct, year out slightly but 1.5pts
35 and 37 are both Duane Eddie, around 1960ish? artiste is right in both cases, wll grant you 2.5 instead of 3.
39 was around 1968, when I was young Year is right, so 1pt. I actually went to see this guy, at Crawley College !
43 I only knew her mother, because Sylvia was always busy
This isn't a Ros quiz. ::) I've also seen Focus perform this 'live' - at the London Astoria when they were supporting Caravan.
53. Hors Yankovski (or similar) 1965? Correct, 1.5pts
59. another Shadows one 1964? Correct, 1.5pts
64. Hugo Montenegro orchestra 1968ish Craig was there first, but only just, so the full 1.5pts.

!

33. The great Cozy Powell 1979 You got me there ! My answer was Van Der Graaf Generator, and it's a very rare single woth about sixty quid. But you're right, Cozy Powell made an album called Theme One, and he's a drummer so it must have been an instrumental. 1.5pts
37. Duane Eddy & the rebels 1960 Correct, 1.5pts
45. The Shadows 1961 - They made Cliff don`t you know ;)
Now at last I understand ! You have completely exonerated yourself, and I hereby return all points I have ever docked you for knocking Cliff. (3pts) Of course, Move It kick-started Cliff's career, and without the fantastic guitar work would not have been a hit. 1.5pts
48. The Shadows 1961 Correct, 1.5pts
49. The Tornadoes 1963 Correct, 1.5pts
51. The Dakotas (without Billy j Kramer) ;D 1963 Correct, 1.5 + 0.5 bonus
52. The Shadows 1960 Correct, 1.5pts
55. The Shadows 1967 (wasn`t it Maroc 7) Correct, 1.5 + 0.5 bonus, well spotted !
60. Cast 1996 Don't think Cast's was instrumental: this one is by a far more well-known group. ;)
61. The Shadows 1963 Correct, 1.5pts
Got one or two Shadows LPs ;) 2 bonus points to you, then
