my "singles" collection - CRAZY-HORSE - 28-11-2013
THE STYLE COUNCIL "(when you)call me(live) b/w "internationalists(live)" 1985
Australian only release recorded live in Sydney on their Australian tour...
"a" side is a lovely love song,one of their best songs IMO
"b" side is a live version of a track from their superb "our favourite shop" album...this one has a real hard edged Jam feel to it, it is, IMO, the only time Weller
rocked it up fully during the TSC years...
single charted here at #91

HOODOO GURU'S "like wow-wipeout!" b/w "bring the hoodoo down" 1985
Dave Faulkner(vocalist here), is one of the best alt rock vocalists to ever grace a stage IMO...he has it all!
love the stomping/thumping bass and drums on this "a" side...all up a great typical HG's track...
"b" side is also typical hard hitting Guru material, love that one also...
single only peaked at #15 here, i was sure it made the top10, but the record books dont lie,but my memory may have faded ovr time LOL

KYLIE MINOGUE "step back in time" b/w "instrumental version" 1990
yeh, i own some kylie singles as youve already seen here...!
its not because i like them, its because her aussie releases on the aussie 'mushroom records' label are regarded as collectors items in the UK where she still has a huge fanbase...
i dont like the "a" side, and theres a stupid instrumental version of that stupid song on the flipsidewhich makes it double-stupid IMO...
single peaked at #5 here, im sure it did the same,if not better, in the UK

JULIAN LENNON "now youre in heaven" b/w "second time" 1989
one of Jule's six number one hits here...
this guy would have been big everywhere had he not been John's son and always compared to him, which is really unfair for anyone in the same position!
"a" side has a distinct David Bowie feel to it, great stuff IMO...
"b" side has a typical Julian feel to it, its good also
single reached #1 here(as previously explained above)

WINGS "give rieland back to the irish" b/w "instrumental version" 1972
this single was released right in the middle of the terrible civil war in Northern Ireland between Catholics and the British Army with the Irish Prodestants...
terrible piece of history IMO...
anyway, Macca thought he'd stick his ten cents worth in and go all political and socially aware like John Lennon was...
problem was, McCartney is not as savvy as John on political issues...his always seem rather whimsical and toned down...no matter how whimsical his thoughts and warblings, this was still banned by the BBC(as was his previous effort 'hi hi hi')...
regardless of that, i love this "a" side because its not very often i get to hear it(its yet to be released on cd as far as im aware)
"b" side is an instrumental version of the "a" side...i can forgive PM for that because he rarely does that with his singles...
single did actually make the charts here making it all the way to #17

for those who've never heard this song, this is my pick from today's postings...its good early 1970s Wings r+r...!

SEX PISTOLS "submission" b/w "no feelings" 1984
this one is one limited edition yellow vinyl...
its release was probably in response to PiL's "this is not a love song" hit single(ie:another McLaren grab at cash on Johnny's coat-tails!)...
both songs were originally released on the "neve mind the bollocks..." album in 1977.
single failed to chart here

LINDSAY BUCKINGHAM "trouble" b/w "thats how we do it in l.a." 1981
great single from Buckingham IMO...
"a" side has a distinct Fleetwood Mac feel to it, "b" side is really weird,not sure how to desribe it???
single topped the charts here

THE BEATLES "beatles hits!-ep" 1964
a four track 'ep' comprising of four previously issued singles from The Fab Four...
'ep' only charted at a peak of #52 here, but thats understandable considering in the previous twelve months the tracks were hits in their own right!
"from me to you" ***
"thank you girl" ***
"please,please me" ***
"love me do" ***
im not posting links here because we all know the songs at hand!

FEARGAL SHARKEY "listen to your father" b/w "cani say i love you" 1984
