Donovan had a hit in Denmark with "Donna Donna". Personally, I would not add that to the main collection. German band The Rainbows hit with "Balla Balla" which is a decent rocker but sounds more 1963 than 1966. American singer/actress Doris Day hit in Hong Kong with "Do Not Disturb" which I seem to recall was also a film. Ireland had the usual roll call of mostly Show Band cover versions. British singers Matt Monro and Twinkle hit in the Singapore/Malaysia region with records that didn't chart in the UK along with a few other solid tracks from local bands The Quests and The Cyclones. The Golden Earrings hit big in the Netherlands with "That Day". There is the usual few solid tracks from South Africa and four from Sweden: a crude rocker, a C&W and cover versions of songs by the Rolling Stones and Chad & Jeremy. There are at least 15 records here I would add to the main Winter 1966 set.
