December 31, 201212 yr Author Tony, you missed off Sonia. That can't be right? If it's any consolation, and I'm not afraid to stand up and admit it, the Charity single SAW did with Sonia and Big Fun (!!!) in 1990, which was criminally ignored by all and sundry, turned out against all my expectations to be my fave single of 1990. You've Got A Friend had a gorgeous tune, fabulous lyric and a sax backing to die for. Admittedly it was a complete rewrite of What Does It Take (Junior Walker & The Allstars) and a tad wimpy but still an obscure goodie..... I said I was sloppy n sentimental...:)
December 31, 201212 yr Author I'd have to include Transvision Vamp in there, hated it at the time but really rather like it now. I was going to also suggest including Kon Kan but I've just spotted it is indeed there, great choice! ALTHOUGH, your double cd is missing Getting Away With It! :o Tran Vamp still sound fresh and Electronic had a great string of singles, Get The Message is my fave from 1991. :)

December 31, 201212 yr and I should add beautifully sequenced from start to end, all thoughtfully and logically listed! cheers! I am a sequencing genius. :D There's probably a few tracks I've forgotten about that will come to me in time. Even if I'd have thought of Getting Away with It, it wouldn't have made it.
