my "singles" collection - CRAZY-HORSE - 20-09-2013
THE CLASH "stand by me(train in vain)" b/w "bankrobber" and "rockers galore" 1980
another single off the classic "london calling" album that failed to chart here...
love 'stand by me' and 'bankrobber', the third track 'rockers galore' is also pretty good...

DEPECHE MODE "stripped" b/w "but not tonight" 1986
as you can see, ive got quite a few Depeche Mode singles, and theres probably a few more to come yet...
i used to love this one when it came out, time hasnt treated this one as good as some of their other tracks, but its still okay overall..
"b" side is okay also, and as i remember i didnt like this back in the day...so strange???
single failed to chart here but did okay on the UK charts from memory

UB-40 "the earth dies screaming" b/w "dream a lie" 1980
their debut single from their only 'real' reggae sounding album "signing off"...
both tracks come from that album and i like them both, in fact, they havent dated as bad as some of their hits from the mid 1980s...
again like Depeche mode, i have numerous singles by these guys...
single failed to chart both here and in their homeland...

UB-40 "red red wine" b/w "sufferin'" 1983
the Birmingham,UK groups first and biggest worldwide hit...happens to be a cover of an old Neil diamond song...
Neil's is okay, but these guys version is brilliant IMO...superb choice of song and the arrangement is perfect..
"b" side doenst make the grade, well honestly, what could when going back to back with a classic like the "a" side..
single got to #2 here but probably deserved a top spot finish IMO...

DIANA ROSS "chain reaction" b/w "more and more" 1985
a double "a" sided here here, probably due to the fact that local Aussies The Gibb Brothers wrote both tracks!...
love the "a" side, very Motown-ish IMO, "b" side is pretty good also, well it would be, anything the Brothers Gibb write is either very good or brilliant!
single did get to #1 here!

ROD STEWART "love touch" b/w "heart is on the line" 1986
typical 1980s Rod, i like it!, always thought he was a good singles artist but his albums for the most part always seem to dissapoint me!
single made it to #12 here.

PETE TOWNSHEND "face the face" b/w "hiding out" 1985
the two best tracks off his superb 'white city' album on one single...brilliant stuff.
"hiding out" could almost be a Who track IMO, the "a" side is great jazzy-rock with lots of brass...cool stuff
single got to #9 here

THE JAM "live!-ep" 1983
a live ep containing four tracks from their final UK tour prior to splitting up, ep wasa free give-away disc for the first few thousand copies of their double vinyl best of set called "snap!"...
track #1 is a very good cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic
track #2 is a Small Faces cover
tracks #3/4 are Weller written songs,#3 being a "b" side of a single, #4, ana blum track from their 1980 'sound affects' album...
very good single/ep showing why The Jam were the UK's premier live act from 1977-82
as a give away disc this didnt chart on the singles chart!

FLASH AND THE PAN "down among the dead men" b/w "the man who knew the answer" 1978
Flash was an Aussie band made up of members of The Easybeats(remember their hit 'friday on my mind')?
their vocalist on this one was Easybeats guitarist George Young, older brother to the Young brothers in AC/DC...
"a" side is about the sinking of the titanic, this is a rock classic IMO probably the best song ive ever heard about that tragedy!
"b" side is a piece of crap, but the "A" side makes up for it...
sinlge got to #4 here back in the day!
