So i'm slowly cataloging my 7" vinyl singles collection, and coming across stuff i've not heard in ages. The bulk of my collection is sixties & seventies, stuff I used to play at the discos. I do also have a fair bit of eighties and nineties and the odd bit of later released singles.

Lot's of novelty releases amongst them. Here are a few that I have just listed.

    

    


The Hylda Baker & arthur Mullard single was a fairly big hit at the time on the back of the original. Simon says was always popular at weddings. The Alter boys as far as I remember didn't chart but is an interesting version of the Gene Vincent classic. Arnee & the Terminaters was Steve Wright and his gang, there is a scary video of Steve miming badly on Top Of The Pops on Youtube. Take a look, he's wearing a tin helmet.

A couple of more interesting singles that I loved from way back are.

    

A Flock of Seagulls had a reasonable chart career, I ran being one of my favourites alongside "Wishing". The Action Transfers not so, this single was released and distributed by one of the early independant distributors here in the U.K. Spartan Records, and because of this didn't do as well as it should have. I always thought if they had been picked up by a major they could have done so much better.

So that's it for today, more to follow as I trawl through the collection.
