1976 Festive 50 (final scores on the doors)

[spib2003]

Hi everyone,

I'm off work this week, so at some point will gather my notes and 
post an ubernerd pedantfest with regard to the 1977 Forgotten 50 (61 
actually!). But in anticipation of that, here's a reminder of 
the 'final' version for 1976 (huge thanks to all who contacted me 
with amendments and of course to Ken for pasBs). In case you forgot 
(or more likely didn't care) - I'm trying to collect all Festive 50 
entries primarily in version played and then in any other eligible 
broadcast or released version. Any further amendments to 76 are very 
welcome. Mic's recent and hopefully ongoing work should prove 
invaluable once I get on to 78+.
