BEEB BIRTLES & GRAHAM GOBLE "im coming home" B/W "you'll never change your mind" 1979
you guys may not know who these guys are off the top of your head but.... they were the principal songwriters fot Little River Band back in the day... these tracks came off an album they did together in 1979.... "A" side sounds,obviously, like an LRB ballad, i love it "B" side has a bit of a Smokie(remember them?) feel happening, i love that one also... single made it to #2 in Australia,... here's their Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birtles_%26_Goble "im coming home" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzOVv1ldcmQ tv performance "you'll never change your mind" ** ....sorry but i cannot find a link for this one!....

JERRY LORDAN "i'll stay single" B/W "can we kiss" 1959
short lived career for this UK pop star... only had three charting singles with no top hits... "A" side a nice pop song for the period, but nothing special... "B" side is much the same... single peaked at #26 in the UK here's Jerome's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lordan there are no links for either track on youtube... but here's his biggest hit that peaked at #17 in the UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcTAKHw6Dtk

BARRY BLUE "hot shot" B/W "hobo man" 1973
UK pop artist who had some fame in the UK in the 1970s... "A" side has an almost Glam sound to it,but it was the era for it, so why not, i love this track "B" side is pretty good also single reached #23 on the UK charts here's Bazza's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Blue "hot shot" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6zNAOJT2k audio link "hobo man" ** ....once again, no link available!...

THE ANIMALS "the animals is here-ep" 1964
a four track "ep" by these guys, their first "ep" to be released actually, but not the first they recorded.... "house of the rising sun" would have to be in my list of favoruite 1960s singles.... the other three tracks on here are sublime also... and they were all "A" side singles in the UK in 1964, i guess you could call this a compilation ep of sorts??? as individual singles this is how they charted in the UK "house of the rising sun" #1 "gonna send you back to walker" no charted action "im crying" #8 "baby,let me take you home" #21 this is the Animals at their best IMO.... here's the bipedal ones' Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animals "house of the rising sun" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sB3Fjw3Uvc excellent live performance "gonna send you back to walker" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAXpjNoAAys another excellent live performance "im crying" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUI5RpxF4WA excellent once again in this live performance "baby,let me take you home" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJkQMk47eOc live,live,live...they were bloody awesome live!

the Captain was member of UK punk group The Damned who recorded a cover of the "south pacific" tune "happy talk"... single was a #1 hit in the UK but only managed to reach #35 here in Australia "A" side isnt too bad,almost a novelty song really, cool video with this one also... "B" side well like the title says, i cant stand it! here's The Capt's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Sensible "happy talk" ** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=291ET6Py6H8 video "it, i cant stand it" * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk9-lseyLU8 audio link for your interest: The Captain's other hit single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pqC563bX_w video link The Damned's best single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b31L4P7G5j8 tv performance

time for some more 'class',well, IMO anyway...
JOE TEX "hold on to what youve got" B/W "fresh out of tears" 1964 this may sound stupid, but i'd not heard of Tex until i picked out this single from the box???? i love both sides of this single,awesome stuff...sounds a lot like Jackie Wilson, and i love his music. Joe is now on my radar for a compilation purchase! single failed to chart in the UK...WTF! here's Joe Tex's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Tex "hold on to what youve got" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GFq-FT1rZM audio link "fresh out of tears" *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb4zgg0gqas audio link
