Especially the Eurythmics and Everlys tracks. The Eye to Eye wasn't bad, but it SO makes me wish Julian Marshall's previous duo, Marshall Hain, had released "Dancing in the City" a couple of years later than they did. It still may not have gotten any higher than #43, but it would have been great (eventually) hearing it here. I have to concur with you, Flaregun and WHarris: killer selection this week.

I love Dave Edmunds. And I can tolerate Paul McCartney, who I had no idea wrote that song. Thanks for such a great blog and for such an intelligent community. I like the Everly Brothers.

Never listened to them, so I can't vouch for their quality, but I do know they were legit, because the drummer who played on some of the sessions got in touch with me for a copy at one point.

What is more interesting, now, is how GTR and 3 almost folded into the same band together, and how Howe claims there are some lost GTR tracks, prepped for a second album and co-written by the boys in 3, that would have blown “When The Heart Rules The Mind” out of the water.

Lo, they would have out-Asia'd Asia!
