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.
