The pile of 7″ singles in my music room continues to grow.  They arrive from all manner of sources, in various conditions, and wait patiently for me to spin them.  It’s a never ending task – like that old cliche, painting the Forth Bridge.

But it’s fun – making my way through the collection of random vinyl goodies; having a few drinks and enjoying the music.

I play both sides, A then B, and then move onto the next single in the pile.  All manner of tunes could be heard, from the classic to cheesy nonsense.

Here’s the latest batch:

1. The Fatback Band – “(Are You Ready) Do the Bus Stop” / “Gotta Learn How to Dance”
2. Earth, Wind & Fire – “That’s the Way of the World” / “Africano”

4. Belinda Carlisle – “Little Black Book” / “Only a Dream”
5. Betty Boo – “24 Hours” / “24 Hours (Instrumental)”
6. Jan Hammer – “Miami Vice Theme” / “Miami Vice Theme (TV Version)” / “Miami Vice Theme (12″ Edit)”

13. Roy Orbison – “You Got It” / “The Only One”
14. The Lovin’ Spoonful – “Summer in the City” / “Bald Headed Lena”
15. Elton John – “Song for Guy” / “Blue Eyes”
16. Ohio Players – “Fire” / “Together”
17. Kool & The Gang – “Cherish” / “Celebration”
18. Diana Ross – “I’m Still Waiting” / “Touch Me in the Morning”
19. The Real Thing – “You to Me Are Everything” / “Keep An Eye (On Your Best Friend)”
20. David Soul – “Don’t Give Up On Us” / “Black Bean Soup”
21. Kelly Marie – “Feels Like I’m in Love” / “Shattered Glass”
22. Dusty Springfield – “I Just Don’t Know What to do with Myself” / “My Colouring Book”

I really enjoyed that Singles Night session.  There were a fair few out standing funky numbers, as well as songs by my favourite pop babes ever, Belinda and Betty.  Lovely.

Plus – how great is that Kinks single?  An all time classic couple of tracks – and a great record for my collection.  Along with a few other legendary rock tunes, this was a great evening of music.
