Here we go again! Quick recap:
I’ve bought loads of 7″ singles; some good, some bad, some ugly. I decided to listen through the pile by having an evening playing them all in the order in which they were bought; oldest first, A side then B side. This is the list of what I played.
As before, some of these songs are absolute gems – some are absolute stinkers. Don’t judge me; this is already difficult enough for me to confess.
Yes, there’s another Sinitta song. I know it’s terrible, but in my defence she’s in my record collection ‘cos she’s a babe. Trust me, she’s well foxy on the cover of this single. So, sorry about that one.
All in all, though, I feel this is a much less cheesy selection than last time. There might even be a few cool choices. And remember – this is all 7 inch vinyl only!
Now, shall we proceed with the embarrassment?
- Steve Winwood – “Higher Love” / “And I Go”
- Sinitta – “Hitchin’ a Ride” / “I’m On My Way”
- Madonna – “Papa Don’t Preach” / “Ain’t No Big Deal”
- Bob Dylan – “Is Your Love in Vain?” / “We Better Talk This Over”
- Peter Gabriel – “Games Without Frontiers” / “The Start” / “I Don’t Remember”
- George Harrison – ” My Sweet Lord” / “What a Life”
- Madness – “Shut Up” / “A Town with No Name”
- Toyah – “Thunder in the Mountains” / “Street Addict”
- The Jam – “Town Called Malice” / “Precious”
- The Beat – “Ackee 1-2-3” / “Monkey Murders”
- The Selecter – “Missing Words” / “Carry Go Bring Home”
- Blondie – “Denis (Denee)” / “Contact in Red Square” / “Kung Fu Girls”
- Herbie Hancock – “You Bet Your Love” / “Knee Deep”
- Stevie Wonder – “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” / “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday”
- Roxy Music – “The Same Old Scene” / “Lover”
Any comments/abuse on the above are welcome, I’m getting used to it. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy – will be back soon with more.
