Very Best of The Bachelors 1973

Rip from the original LPs, from my collection.

Nine tracks had not previously been released in the UK


Thursday, 9 March 2023

British Hit Singles 1979, US Hits 1979

 

Links and track list in the post below

1979 is the last year in the series. Several fantastic songs, also lots of trashy music that does not stand the time test and does not belong to this blog. Only 7’’ Single Edits are included.

Parts 1-11: UK Chart, all Top 40 entries in chronological order (no EPs and re-issues) & selected 40+

Part 12: 40+ cont. + uncharted + flips – my subjective selection and the best part to me

Parts 13,14: US Top 20 and other minor US hits


Tuesday, 7 March 2023
