Wasted as part of a double A side with "A Town Called Malice" - should have been a single in its own right. My favourite song by The Jam.I'm in 1982 and I never knew the Jam got as funky as PRECIOUS![]()
I was lightly agog it didn't peak until TWO WEEKS AFTER!I know Radio 1 wouldn't touch it, but I still don't fully understand how the biggest Eurovision win in history couldn't propel Katrina & The Waves to #1.
STOCKING PROBLEMS?
Outlaw was great
OMG hideous!I always feel sad watching Brownstone now knowing the BIZARRE & HORRIBLE death one of them suffered![]()
Very rare instance in this era of a song climbing the charts, & after debuting outside the top 40. Maybe it wasn't promoted as hard after the letdown of Gina G the previous Eurovision.I was lightly agog it didn't peak until TWO WEEKS AFTER!
Absolutely BRAZEN even in this peak era of soundalike follow ups! I think they had one more equally samey minor hit after this & then it was back to SPLIT SHIFTS in one of Gloria Estefan's restaurants for them (probably)Even by the low standard of “the follow up is just the same song with different words”, No Mercy’s second single is shamelessespecially as the first was a ripoff anyway! Love it in all its incarnations obviously.
Also enjoyed how thoroughly uncomfortable with being on TV Olive’s singer was.
Well, they did but usually in a more subtle way. Certain albums, especially compilations, would appear on the shelves just in time for Valentines, Mothers Day and Fathers Day. But it was a very explicit choice, only undermined by the double A-siding for Comic Relief which I assume is on its way...I'm surprised more artists never tried to piggyback the Mothers Day market singles-wise.
Ah, there it is. I had forgotten that L*l* had been involved. Trauma-inducing.Well, they did but usually in a more subtle way.

I am informed CD:UK commenced AUGUST 1998Ant & Dec trying to go Wonderwall on us. When do they stop this and just do telly?
Absolute Des'ree levels of lyrical prowess.Oh the lyrics and melodrama of Don't You Love Me absolutely made me scream.
CHILD GOES TO THE STORE FOR A LOAF OF BREAD - DON'T YOU LOVE ME?! DON'T YOU LOVE ME NO MORE?!?!
We need more SINISTER HARPSICHORD in POP
Ah, Ian Broudie's just explained it - singer was ill.I wonder why Kula Shaker weren't shown despite being a new entry at #2? Not complaining, absolutely dog shit band but it seems odd.
I don't know if you know 80s Medway band The Prisoners but the Kula Shaker version of "Hush" was a ripoff of their Iive version of the same song.I wonder why Kula Shaker weren't shown despite being a new entry at #2? Not complaining, absolutely dog shit band but it seems odd.
Only because they were James Taylor's old band but yes, I remember this being flagged up at the time.I don't know if you know 80s Medway band The Prisoners but the Kula Shaker version of "Hush" was a ripoff of their Iive version of the same song.
