June 25, 200718 yr I must track down a copy of Wax's 'Bridge to your Heart' - cheesy, but nice. I didn't realise Was (Not Was) released Papa was a Rolling Stone in 87 and 1990 either...
June 28, 200718 yr I remember the Metallica EP being a surprise new entry as I'd barely heard of them at the time. Gary Davies used to play all the new entries at lunchtime and the track he chose from the EP was "Crash Course In Brain Surgery". "Great title!" he said.
June 28, 200718 yr I didn't realise Was (Not Was) released Papa was a Rolling Stone in 87 and 1990 either... They didn't release it in 1987. That's a mistake. It should be the Temptations.
