You'll have to gloss over the terrible song at the top of the chart, but
there is some decent stuff in the rest of it and there's a reissued
Supremes track which is my excuse for posting it. Two significant
singles from SAW's history make there debuts and it wouldn't be a
late-80s chart without at least a couple of remixed oldies and there are
some cartoon rabbits too but don't worry, not *that* one.

1. (2) Simple Minds Belfast Child
Long. Deep. Damn good.
Post by Chris Brown
3. (1) Marc Almond ft Gene Pitney Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart
Died in the Cardiff hotel where I tried - unsuccessfully - to blag my way
into Oasis' pre-gig space in 1996. The dead half of the duo, clearly...
Post by Chris Brown
16. (18) Hue And Cry Looking For Linda
Apparently about a legendary local character
Post by Chris Brown
17. (10) Robert Howard & Kym Mazelle Wait
Kym Mazelle has miserably little chart success to her name for such a
fantastic talent. Howard is not a bad vocalist, but she makes him look
ordinary without effort.
Post by Chris Brown
23. (13) Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine Can't Stay Away From You
{1989 reissue}
From the era when the drippy ballad to funky latino beat ratio started to go
in the wrong direction
Post by Chris Brown
27. (32) The Style Council Promised Land
One of their last hits before the walls came tumbling down (sorry...)
Post by Chris Brown
28. (NE) Dusty Springfield Nothing Has Been Proved
One of the last hits for the ultimate perfectionist, apparently she didn't
get past the Man in Mandy - the opening word - before wanting to redo it.
Post by Chris Brown
35. (34) Debbie Gibson Lost In Your Eyes
She was insanely big in the states for a year or so, and decently well known
here
Post by Chris Brown
41. (31) Raze Break 4 Love
This seemed to hang around the lower reaches for ages, and have a couple of
trips into the charts
Post by Chris Brown
44. (NE) Reynolds Girls I'd Rather Jack
Lyrically quite interesting but not a lot of depth to the project
Post by Chris Brown
54. (36) Boy Meets Girl Waiting For A Star To Fall
Apparently they only recorded this because they couldn't sell it!
Post by Chris Brown
60. (72) The Bangles Eternal Flame
On one of the slowest ever climbs to no1

65. (56) Joe Smooth Promised Land

Post by Chris Brown

Having notably less success with original material than with their recent
reissue

Yes, I know Marc Almond almost died once, but I don't think that was in
Cardiff.

I guess that's one of the lessons of pop, it's not enough to be a great
singer if you don't have the right material or promotion etc.
Howard is not a bad vocalist, but she makes him look
ordinary without effort.
I don't know whether they considered working together further.

Not sure this was worth releasing twice, even if they did have a picture
disc this time.
Post by Chris Brown
27. (32) The Style Council Promised Land

Their last original single (well, it's a cover obviously but their later
ones were reissues or remixes).
Post by Chris Brown
28. (NE) Dusty Springfield Nothing Has Been Proved
One of the last hits for the ultimate perfectionist, apparently she
didn't get past the Man in Mandy - the opening word - before wanting to
redo it.
This is why the famous Dusty In Memphis album is slightly misnamed, she
didn't record the vocals there.

35. (34) Debbie Gibson Lost In Your Eyes
She was insanely big in the states for a year or so, and decently well
known here
And still has her fans now.

Yes, indeed there was the reworked version in the 1990 chart I posted a
couple of weeks ago.
I presume it was the sort of track that wouldn't get mainstream airplay.
Post by Chris Brown
44. (NE) Reynolds Girls I'd Rather Jack

I don't get the impression Pete Waterman was interested in them as a
long-term act.

54. (36) Boy Meets Girl Waiting For A Star To Fall
Apparently they only recorded this because they couldn't sell it!
I believe Whitney Houston (or her management) rejected it.

On one of the slowest ever climbs to no1
Even though they were already a well-known act.

Probably the better version. And another club hit with a long but low
chart run.
Post by Chris Brown
97. (NE) The Hollies Find Me A Family
Having notably less success with original material than with their
recent reissue
Though possibly this would have done even worse otherwise?
It was apparently the theme tune to a TV show I don't remember so maybe
they wouldn't even have got that gig without the reissue.

A couple returned in 1989 after being off air for a number of weeks,
presumably they just either didn't enter the bidding or gave it up and
decided to stay a pirate. LWR, one of the big pirate stations of the mid
to late 80s, announced it had decided not to bother applying for the
legal licence and said it would return on air in mid 1989 but never did.
Instead a number of new pirates started broadcasting but I don't really
remember any of them as I moved back to listening to pop radio and more
or less gave up listening to the pirates.

You'll have to gloss over the terrible song at the top of the chart,
The one that was one of my mum's favourites, you mean? ;)
My Mum likes some real tripe, to be fair.

Seriously though I do understand that some people might appreciate it
but it's exactly the sort of thing that rubs me up the wrong way, and a
waste of a good folk tune.
