back to the 1980s now....
WHAM! "im your man" B/W "im your man(instrumental)" 1985
i love these white-blue eyed soul" boys...
im a huge fan of George Michael,well i was until the late 1990s when i went off his music...
pretty hard to diss this almost Motown sounding "A" side...
its almost pure pop perfection IMO...
"B" side is an instrumental, im not usually keen on instrumentals but i like the tune and music of this one also...
single peaked at #3 here in Australia

"B" side, another great track by these guys, has a bit of a jazzy feel going on, ive got a feeling Jazzbo will like this one
Sharing your affection for them, I do indeed. I'll bet the other 20 people that have viewed it do too...

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:RUSS CONWAY "the russ conway-ep!"
i cannot find info on the release date of this one but the vinyl is certainly a 1960s label...
Russ was a pianist who recorded instrumental music in the late 50s and early 60s...
he had some 20 charting hits in the UK during that period including two #1 hits that he wrote...
theres seven tracks on this 'ep', i dont like any of them...
being as i cannot find the release date of this, i also cannot find any chart info on this disc neither
but with his popularity its a sure bet that it did chart at some point
i have previously posted another of Russ' singles in this thread..."pixilated penguin"
here's Russ' Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Conway
Mr. Conway had a ton of EPs on Columbia Records. This one is from 1957 but probably re-issued later in part on one of his LPs called The EP Collection: http://www.russconway.co.uk/EP%20Covers.html and http://www.russconway.co.uk/album%20covers%20page%203.html << Scroll to bottom

THE KINKS "you really got me" B/W "its all right" 1964
well there you go....
i always thought my dad couldnt stand The Kinks, but i guess he must have liked this one...
not their debut single as most believe, but in fact their fourth single...the previous three didnt chart anywhere...
"A" side...iconic 1960s rock track with one of the most recognizable riffs off all time, i love it
"B" side, now i am a Kinks fan but this one is crap, i guess they still had some fine tuning of their style to go...
single reached #1 on the UK charts

ââ¬â¹THE NOLANS "gotta pull myself together" B/W "directions of love" 1980ââ¬â¹
UK girl group from the mid 1970s thru mid 1980s,
this was their biggest hit out here,
single peaked at #3 on the Aussie charts
"A" side, simple catchy pop,i dont like it
"B" side, not poppy at all, its a ballad, but i dont like this one neither!

TOMMY DORSEY ORCHESTRA "tea for two cha-cha" B/W "my baby just cares for me" 1958
Jazz legend....that sums this guy up in two words...
"A" side, i love this instrumental(and i wouldnt say that about many instrumentals!)
"B" side, Warren covington sings on this one, i prefer Nina's version
i cannot find any chart info on this single,who knows, maybe it didnt chart in the UK
