June 20, 200718 yr Midge Ure co-wrote Do They Know It's Christmas. Here's the far superior version by Band Aid II D5jFlteF1IY
June 20, 200718 yr The original (superior) version became the biggest selling single in the UK of all time - later beaten, of course by Elton John's dirge. The previous holder of the record was a double A-side. Here's the better song Wings - Girls' School F8cn_EWAfxs
June 20, 200718 yr Author Girls School was the superior track of a double A sided single which was relegated to the B-side by the Great British public whilst the American public had more sense. Another example of this & keeping up the School theme is this song which was incredibly the B-side in the UK behind the awful Neil Diamond written "The Boat That I Row" but this track was the A-side in the USA where it spent six weeks at #1 ..... _wNNLePF9e4 Lulu - To Sir With Love
