my "singles" collection
Tremendous!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:THE BEATLES "magical mystery tour-ep" 1967

this is the double disc gatefold sleeve version complete with inserted booklet...
single is two discs and contains six tracks from the movie of the same name...
when i got this single the label on record one is on the opposite side to the tracks recorded on it...what i didnt know then, was that this was probably worth a lot of money as this is uncommon, also, the vinyl disc of record one has not been cut out properly, it has a rather ragged edge to it, so that disc obviously didnt go through the machines properly...
this single made it to #3 here back in the day

from memory this was released, and bought by me, just days prior to his senseless murder aged 40...
this is Marvin at his best IMO...great stuff!
hell, i like this song so much that i even like the instrumental version of it also...
single only peaked at #4 here,again, another single that deserved the top spot!

CROWDED HOUSE "better be home soon" b/w "kill eye" 1988

Neil finn at his very best with this little gem of a song...
this "a" side is pop perfection,perfect lyrics,music,vocals,melody...nothing amiss here,
even McCartney would have been proud to have written this one!
"b" side is more uptempo,with what i'd call rough,jagged guitar chords and vocals...
"a" side is from their second album, "b" side is from heir debut album..
single peaked at #2 here, should have got to #1 but i guess they werent home in time!

BAD MANNERS "ne-ne-na-na-na-na-nu-nu" b/w "holidays" 1980

UK Ska group, had a few minor hits out there including ska versions of "can-can" and "my girl lollipop"...
this "a" side is stupid,but fun...cant wait to check out the video for it...
"b" side is a piece of crap like most UK ska really was...
and what else would you possibly expect from a band whose vocalist goes under the name Buster Bloodvessel???
single failed to chart here(my disc is part of a five single boxset with singles from five different ska bands,the rest follow after this one!)

they are most certainly that SteveO!

ive always thought that Neil Finn and ELO are the closest things you will ever find that would sound like The Beatles would if they were still around today, or at least,have the most Beatle-esque sounds without sounding corny or 'forced'.
