Just a quick question & a request for information.

 

This particular track is one which I have in my collection & the only other person who has ever come across it & has the 12" version in her collection (I have the 7" version) is my good lady wife of approximately 20 years.

 

I have always wondered how many copies of each were sold - any one any clue how & if these numbers exist & if so what they are?

Hi and welcome to BuzzJack.

 

The single only charted for one week, on the chart dated 19 February 1983, at number 98. I very much doubt the single sold even 5,000 copies in total. I don't know what proportion of its sales would have been on either 7" or 12".

 

I remember the Eye To Eye original version of the song which dates back to 1980. It was playlisted by Radio 1 but failed to chart. The song was co-written by Julian Marshall, one half of duo Marshall Hain who had a top 10 hit in 1978 with 'Dancing In The City'. By 1980 Marshall Hain had disbanded and Marshall had formed Eye To Eye.

 

The Virginia David version of 'Am I Normal?' was produced by Andy Hill, the songwriter and producer most famous for his work with Bucks Fizz.

Many thanks for the info Robbie - have heard the Eye to Eye version not a patch in my view.

I hadn't realised the track had charted - not really sure whether no. 98 counts in my book.

 

Virginia David was a member of Sailor (post Glass of Champagne & Girls, Girls, Girls) from 1980.
