Kylie Minogue - I should be so lucky when I was 9.

There are some cracking tracks on here, most are nothing to be ashamed of. Unless you're lying.

Mine was truly awful. The BBC 1982 World Cup Theme by (I think it was) The London Symphony Orchestra.

 

[Wozza]

Drowning in Berlin - The Mobiles
Ant Music - Adam and the Ants

Bought at the same time. Both 7in.

Should have included format with name of single - I bet a few people on here have NEVER bought vinyl.

"Dad, why are extra tracks on singles called B-sides?"

Spaceman by Babylon Zoo was the first proper chart single i ever bought but i was quite a big Jacko fan b4 that!
