Here we go with the first Singles Night of 2021! The Virtual Hot Tub is ecstatic with anticipation for the return of these playlists.

What’s it all about? Well, I’m glad you asked. The singles in question are 45rpm vinyl singles, which I have accumulated over time from various sources. The plan: listen to the records, side A then side B, one after the other without skipping any in the pile. Whilst drinking booze.

Let’s see how I got on this time…

1. The Temptations – “Psychedelic Shack” / “That’s the Way Love Is”
2. Queen – “Killer Queen” / “Flick of the Wrist”
3. Buzzcocks – “I Don’t Mind” / “Autonomy”
4. The Clash – “Bankrobber” / “Rockers Galore… UK Tour”
5. The Clash – “Complete Control” / “City of the Dead”
6. The Damned – “History of the World Part 1” / “I Believe the Impossible” / “Sugar & Spite”
7. Skids – “Sweet Suburbia” / “Open Sound”
8. The Beach Boys – “Mona” / “Rock and Roll Music” / “Sail on Sailor” / “Marcella”
9. ABBA – “Head Over Heels” / “The Visitors”
10. Bananarama – “Cheers Then” / “Girl About Town”
11. The Belle Stars – “Sign of the Times” / “Madness”
12. Chicory Tip – “Son of My Father” / “Pride Comes Before a Fall”
13. John Farnham – “You’re the Voice” / “Going, Going, Gone”
14. Stevie Wonder – “My Cherie Amour” / “Don’t Know Why I Love You”
15. Bardo – “One Step Further” / “Lady of the Night”
16. The Motors – “Love and Loneliness” / “Time for Make-Up”
17. Hot Chocolate – “So You Win Again” / “A Part of Being with You”
18. Elton John – “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” / “Screw You”
19. Blondie – “The Tide is High” / “Susie and Jeffrey”
20. Slade – “We’ll Bring the House Down” / “Hold on to Your Hats”

Twenty – count ’em – twenty great tracks. Well, mostly. A solid offering from the world of punk rock in that collection, with the Buzzcocks, Clash, Damned and Skids singles all being salvaged from a local charity shop. Lucky day.

I had a great night spinning these discs, there are some really awesome records to add to the collection there. Time for more soon. Stay tuned!
