my "singles" collection - CRAZY-HORSE - 27-08-2013
ADAM ANT "friend or foe" b/w "juanito the bandito" 1982
thinking this was his second or third solo single after leaving "the ants"...
same formula as his previous singles obver the previous couple of years, still okay to listen to and way superior to half the crap we hear nowadays!, "b" side...piece of crap with a stupid mexican type feel to it!, single was one of his last to chart here, reaching a position of #49 on our charts, hey, his videos were always good cheesy fun and this one is no different..

CULTURE CLUB "move away" b/w "sexuality" 1986
one of George's last chart entries here...typical CC sounds happening here, not one of their best singles...certainly not in the same league as 'karma chameleon', 'church of the poisoned mind' or the haunting ballad 'victims', but still okay, "b" side...crap, cant think of one "b" side of theirs i actually like(but time will tell when the other singles i own come out...
when i checked up the chart placing of this single here i was surprised at its #10 placing...just couldnt recall it getting that that high...this single was also released on a 3" vinyl record as a gimmick...i have that one also somewhere...

THE BEATLES "beatles for sale"-ep 1965
four track 'ep'(extended play) released here in 1965 as a promotional tool to accompany the release of the album of the same name...not sure why, as the Beatles didnt need to have promo gimmicks to sell anything...
anyway,four tracks on here, obviously the album sold very well and the lead single 'eight days a week' did the same, so not surprisingly, this only reached #84 on the charts,which incidently was thei lowest charting position on the Aussie charts...

"im a loser" ***
"words of love" **
"eight days a week" **
not putting up links for this one as we all know the tracks!

THE WHO "my generation" b/w "substitute" 1988.
25th anniversary re-issue disc of their two biggest hits here....
the single reached #88 here, but originally, the songs made it to #2 and #5 respectively on the Aussie charts...
superb single with two of the best 1960s rock anthems together!
again, not putting up links as we all know the songs!

DAVID RUFFIN "heavy love" b/w "me and rock and roll(are here to stay)" 1976
a 1976 single release from the ex-Temptations lead vocalist...
pretty sure this is the second and final one i own(but i could be wrong?)...
single failed to chart here also...
not bad soul/r+b, but not great neither, but i do love the guy's vocals so the tracks are bareable!

ROXY MUSIC "jealous guy" b/w "to turn you on" 1981
Bryan Ferry's tribute to the then recently departed John Lennon...
classic song IMO...not sure whether i love this version or Lennon's best,either way, its a cover thats as good as the original...
gotta love Ferry's vocals on this song, not as mournful and emotive as John's but still suit the track..
"b" side, an average Roxy Music track IMO(from 'avalon' album), nothing special, but still okay,but then again im not a huge fan of these guys anyway!
obviously,the single made it to the pinnacle of the charts here as it did with just about everywhere else in the world!

EIGHTH WONDER "im not scared" b/w "j'ai pas peur" 1988
UK pop group fronted by vocalist Patsy Kensit who is actually more famous for marrying Jim Kerr(simple minds) and Liam Gallagher(oasis/beady eye)...

MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS "dancing in the street" b/w "there he is" 1964
i actually had never heard this "a" side until David Bowie and Mick Jagger did it at the Live Aid concert...loved their version(which i also own on single), and went searching for the original...fell in love with that also, since then ive bought a best of set on vinyl and this one isnt one of my favourite tracks now.."b" side is also typical mid sixties motown sounding as you would expect, and being Motown from that period i like it also...
single managed to get to #71 on the Aussie charts back in the day....

ELVIS PRESLEY "are you lonesome tonight" b/w "i gotta know" 1960
the first of many Elvis singles i own...
y'all know this one!
one of his 'signature tunes', which incidently, is a cover version of an old 1940s song...this "a" side is 'classic' elvis, the "b" side is also very very good and probably would have sold a couple of million copies back in the day if it was an "a" side...love them both...well, what'ja expect!, also, this one got to #1 on the charts here like it did just about everywhere else in the world!
