my "singles" collection - SteveO - 29-10-2013
I do not know why I thought they only had the one album Crazy mate! Yes "Get Born" was a cracker...never heard the other two!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:Jet released three albums mate...
2003 "get born" , love their debut set which is probably the one youre talkin' about
2006 "shine on" , very average collection of songs, nothing as good as whats on the first album
2009 "shaka rock" , even worse than the second album, has a lame Oasis feel to it(probably due to the fact they toured the U.S with Oasis
prior to recording it...
Jet split up in 2012 i believe??

ROD STEWART "forever young" b/w "days of rage" 1988
yep, another Rodney Stewart single in my collection...
"a" side is a typical Stewart ballad-cum-rock ballad from that period,its not bad,but certainly not 'classic' Stewart IMO
"b" side starts off okay, it has a real cool rock sound to it,but the song ends up going nowhere fast!
single failed by his standards, it only peaked at #94 here

RED BOX "lean on me" b/w "stinging bee" 1985
"a" side has a latter day Tears For Fears and Men Without Hats sound to me...
i like this "a" side...
"b" side is a piece of 1980s pop-pap!
single reached #29 here...should have been a huge hit IMO, for some reason though, it wasnt!

YOUNG RASCALS "a beautiful morning" b/w "ive been lonely too long" 1968
im a huge fan of Rascals/Young Rascals...love their white boy 1960s soul sounds....
unfortunately though, neither side of this single do anything for me now,
theyre bland,monotonous pieces of drivel!
single did chart here making it to #36 back in the day

CLIFF RICHARD "daddy's home" b/w "shakin' all over(live)" 1981
Cliff was almost twenty-five years into his career when this one came out...
both tracks are covers, "a" side a cover of an old Doo-Wop song...i love Cliff's version
"b" side is an old cover recorded live around 1980ish...i like his version also...
"daddy's home" would be up there in my list of favourite CR songs ever
single peaked at #8 here

JULIAN LENNON "too late for goodbyes" b/w "well i dont know" 1984
debut single from John's eldest son...
there are certainly vocal similarities between the two, but thats understandable...
i like both sides of this single, "a" side is definately the better of the two though...
lovely melodies,lyrics,tune and vocals...
single only made it to #13 here,which is bad by his standards considering he did have six #1's here over the years

PRETENDERS "brass in pocket" b/w "swingin' london" & "nervous but shy" 1979
Chrissie Hynde and Co's third single,but fist hit single...
these guys couldnt make it in the US, so they relocated to the UK and made it big!
"a" side is really sultry stuff,Hynde oozes sex appeal here....this is a classic song from the ashes of Punk...
"b" side tracks are instrumentals, the first one is okay, but i dont care for the second one...
single peaked at #2 here

ELVIS PRESLEY "solitaire" b/w "are you sincere?" 1979
another post-death single release from The King in 1979...
both tracks were recorded in the mid 1970s...
"a" side is a Neil Sedaka cover..."b" side has a country tinged feel to it...
single failed to chart backin the day

MANFRED MANN "pretty flamingo" b/w "youre standing by" 1966
one of my favourite 1960s UK pop groups, up there with Small Faces,Kinks,The Who and The Hollies...
"a" side, well, we all know this one,b it was a mega-hit allover the world...
"b" side is alos a very goos song by Paul Jones and Co....
single only reached #3 here?

I often wondered why Julian never recorded with Macca or the three remaining Beatles?
