So I found out the reason to post this old chart from from 1979

There's some excellent tracks. But even for what is my favourite year
for music there is still a number of awful records too!

Post by Chris Brown
PS - I've never knowingly met anyone in this chart, but after I decided
to do it I found a member of one of the bands had played one of my
uncle's old records on his radio show.

Chart dated: 21st July 1979

I possibly mentioned this whenever you last posted this chart but 21
July 1979 was the day the family moved house. In a twist of fate and a
trip via a number of years in London I'm now living in the next street
to where we moved from 41 years ago. Talk about going full circle...

1. (1) Tubeway Army Are "Friends" Electric?

A record I wasn't too keen on at the time but which I grew to love. I
bought the French import version of thsi a few months later. It was a
good value version as it was backed with the excellent 'Down In The
Park' which had fallen short of the UK top 75 a few months earlier.
Aparently that track hit the lowly heights of number 198 so the fact
that this follow up could get to number 1 was quite an achievement.

2. (2) Janet Kay Silly Games

Owned this on 7". This style of reggae would later become known as
lovers rock.

3. (3) The Sex Pistols C'Mon Everybody

Talk about Flogging A Dead Horse. The brand really was getting watered
down now.

Post by Chris Brown
4. (21) Dave Edmunds Girls Talk

A massive leap up the charts but #4 was as high as it got.

Post by Chris Brown
5. (12) Chic Good Times

I bought this on 12". This was the last big hit for Chic but after this
7 place jump it suddenly ran out of steam. A US number 1 but their
career then flundered as the disco backlash hit. Great track with a
bassline that was very influential.

Post by Chris Brown
6. (8) The Beach Boys Lady Lynda

Quite strange to see The Beach Boys back in the top 10 after an almost
decade long gap. Awful song.

7. (6) Gerry Rafferty Night Owl

This one always seems to get overlooked in favour of 'Baker Street'. Not
too bad a song.

8. (5) Amii Stewart Light My Fire/137 Disco Heaven

I bought this from the bargain bin of my local record shop. Had it not
been 25p or whatever I doubt I would have bothered.

9. (4) Squeeze Up The Junction

Owned this on lilac vinyl. Great song.

I didn't own this but I actually loved (and still love) the song. The
only one of theirs I like.

Post by Chris Brown
11. (7) The Ruts Babylon's Burning

Great punk song from a band that could have done so much better if the
lead singer hadn't developed a heroin addiction and died.

Post by Chris Brown
12. (26) Supertramp Breakfast In America

Irritating song that was sprt of sampled by Gym Class Heroes as 'Cupid's
Chokehold' in spring 2007. That was an irritating song too.

Post by Chris Brown
13. (25) Patrick Hernandez Born To Be Alive

This record was massive all over Europe. I think (not 100% sure though)
that it was the biggest selling disco single in Europe in 1979.

Post by Chris Brown
14. (17) Thom Pace Maybe

A rather sappy song from the TV programme "The Life And Times Of Grizzly
Adams".

Post by Chris Brown
15. (NE) The Boomtown Rats I Don't Like Mondays

In 1978 I was a big Boomtown Rats fan. Then in 1979 they released this
record and I sort of went off them. This is one single I've never liked.

Post by Chris Brown
16. (14) Thin Lizzy Do Anything You Want Do

They were more pop than rock by this point and were becoming largely
dull. It was about this time in 1979 that Midge Ure joined the band as a
temporary replacement for Gary Moore who had walked out on the band
mid-tour.

Post by Chris Brown
17. (15) The Village People Go West

It's not 'YMCA', which was great fun. This isn't.

Post by Chris Brown
18. (11) Eddy Grant Living On The Front Line

Decent enough song.

Post by Chris Brown
19. (38) The Police Can't Stand Losing You

Owned this on white vinyl having nearly bought it on blue vinyl the
previous year. Decent song which almost reached number 1.

Post by Chris Brown
20. (32) Public Image Limited Death Disco

And bought this on 12". A great song even if the subject is a bit
depressing (the death of John Lydon's mother).

Post by Chris Brown
21. (16) Slick Space Bass

And I owned this on 7". A seemingly long forgotten disco hit.

Post by Chris Brown
22. (22) Donna Summer Bad Girls

Owned this too on 7". John Lydon gave this the thumbs down on his
Jukebox Jury appearance but I quite liked it.

Post by Chris Brown
24. (24) The Knack My Sharona

Had this on 7". The picture cover was popular among my friends at school.

Post by Chris Brown
27. (9) Quantum Jump The Lone Ranger

I think the lead singer died recently.

Post by Chris Brown
29. (NE) David Bowie DJ

A strange one here. The record entered the charts at number 29 then
promptly fell down the charts and off quite quickly. It was very rare
back then for a single to enter the top 75 inside the top 40 and not
climb the following week.

Post by Chris Brown
33. (58) Judie Tzuke Stay With Me Till Dawn

A great song by a great singer with a great voice.

Post by Chris Brown
35. (NE) Cliff Richard We Don't Talk Anymore

A strike at the EMI pressing plant in Hayes, Middlesex, was causing all
sorts of problems with delayed releases and stock unable to leave the
factory. Luckily for Cliff the strike ended the week before this record
was due to be released and EMI gave priority to pressing up this single.
Which was very unfortunate for two acts who had released great songs:
Kirsty MacColl with 'They Don't Know' and Sniff n The Tears with
'Driver's Seat' (down at #75 this week in 1979). The latter at least had
some stock make it out of the pressing plant before the strike so at
least got into the charts even if a Top Of The Pops appearance was
wasted as no-one could get any further stock. Kirsty didn't even manage
that. And two great records too.

Post by Chris Brown
36. (31) Blondie Sunday Girl

A joint number 35 in fact. The song that Debbie Harry didn't really want
released as she thought it was a weak song. I bought the 12" version.

Post by Chris Brown
43. (57) John Stewart Gold

Features an uncredited Stevie Nicks. I quite liked this one.

Post by Chris Brown
44. (43) Teena Marie And Rick James I'm A Sucker For Your Love

Two late disco singers who would both go on to have massive success on
the disco charts. I quite liked this one.

Post by Chris Brown
56. (54) England Dan And John Ford Coley Love Is The Answer

I remember Tony Blackburn playing this a lot on his Radio 1 afternoon
show. I actually don't mind this one.

Post by Chris Brown
63. (NE) The Undertones Here Comes The Summer

I bought this one. Another great Undertones single.

Post by Chris Brown
64. (NE) Diana Ross The Boss

And I bought this on 12". A great Diana Ross single.

Post by Chris Brown
67. (NE) Buzzcocks Harmony In My Head

I think this one features Steve Diggle on lead vocals rather than Pete
Shelley.

Post by Chris Brown
70. (63) Queen Love Of My Life

Another victim of the Hayes pressing plant strike.

Post by Chris Brown
72. (50) Carrie Lucas Dance With You

A great disco song.

Post by Chris Brown
75. (67) Sniff 'N' The Tears Driver's Seat

Should have been a massive hit but the Hayes strike etc. In fact this
was released three times but still couldn't be turned into a top 40 hit.
It did well in the US though, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

6. (8) The Beach Boys Lady Lynda

Quite strange to see The Beach Boys back in the top 10 after an almost
decade long gap.

Yes, their only UK Top 10 hits of the decade were in 1970 and 1979. And
funnily enough both fronted and produced by Al Jardine, usually one of
the lower-profile Beach Boys.

Awful song.

Not their best work, though I'm more of a fan than you.

It wasn't even particularly good pop. Maybe it's one of those times a

It's not 'YMCA', which was great fun. This isn't.

I can understand why it made sense in the gay community at that time -
and why it made even more when the Pet Shop Boys covered it - but it
doesn't have the same crossover appeal.

29. (NE) David Bowie DJ

That would seem to suggest a fanbase-only purchase of little interest
beyond fans, although it's notable that the second singles from his
previous two albums missed the Top 30.
Presumably the hidden factor is that RCA put out a green vinyl edition
so all the fans would buy it sooner.

Understandably, as he was an EMI act (and I guess still one of their
biggest in the UK at this point).

I'm surprised they weren't prioritised a bit more, but I suppose a live

A huge hit in South America apparently (where they weren't reliant on

I had to look up Gentle Ben. A 1960s programme from what I can see with
the titular Ben being a tame bear. Grizzly Adams was, according to IMDB
"An innocent fugitive from the law lives in the wilderness with a
grizzly bear companion and helps passers-by in the forest.". The bear
seems to have also been called Ben (real name: Bozo The Bear). Grizzly
(the fugitive) was being chased by Bounty Hunters, always had to keep
one step ahead etc. I just recall the programme as an inoffensive
Saturday tea-time programme that followed Final Score. Other than that I
don't actually remember much.
