OK, so Singles Night at the Virtual Hot Tub is not a dating service. What it is, is me spending an evening playing through my ever growing stack of 45 rpm vinyl singles and having a drink or three.
Here’s the latest batch of 7 inch goodness:

The selection above was, as always, determined by whatever was next on the pile. There’s no choosing songs involved, it’s just playing the records in order.
But what a great selection that was! Not one, but two 1980’s Page 3 legends; plus a load of tunes from classic rock to pop, country and soul.
By the way: What’s Madonna and a piece of toilet paper got in common?
They both get into the groove! HAHA!
I had a great time spinning these tunes, more soon.
