ELO "midnight blue" b/w "the diary of horace wimp" 1979.
both tracks come from their superb "discovery" album...
"a" side is a smoldering ballad, i can really hear a lot of George Harrison in this track
"b" side, well not really a "b" side because this charted a 'double-a-side' hit both here and in the UK...
this side has all the hallmarks of Beatles circa 1967 all over it, the lyircs and wordplay are as good as their "a day in the life" track,sublime stuff IMO!
single should have been a smash hit but only reached #48 here, i guess everyone who wanted this had got the album by time this,the fourth single from the album was released!
