My thoughts on the top 10 and what I like from #11 - #40:

 

 

1. Manfred Mann - Mighty Quinn - A great Bob Dylan song given a great pop treatment.

2. Love Affair - Everlasting Love - A great late 1960s pop song.

3. Amen Corner - Bend Me Shape Me - Crackingg tune + Andy Fairweather-Low vocals.

4. Engelbert Humperdinck - Am I That Easy To Forget - If only. Dreadful track not a patch on The Last Waltz.

5. Solomon King - She Wears My Ring - Oh dear oh dear. How sexist does this song sound now.

6. John Fred & The Playboy Band - Judy In Disguise - I quite like this track but it is a little corny.

7. Tremeloes - Suddenly You Love Me - A good song, but they did better.

8. Brenton Wood - Gimme Little Sign - A great acoustic r'n'b soul track.

9. Status Quo - Pictures Of Matchstick Men - Their first and best single IMHO.

10. Move - Fire Brigade - Roy Wood = maverick pop genius. This is of course brilliant.
