I know & like:

 

1 Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes

2 Racey - Some Girls

9 Sister Sledge - He's The Greatest Dancer

17 Amii Stewart - Knock On Wood

18 Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing

Still before my time - But a great mix of songs B)

 

 

 

I used to have the following:

 

Cool For Cats - Squeeze (pink 7" vinyl)

 

Pop Muzik - M (7" single and later I bought the 12" which was a limited edition double groove record - the A side has two grooves which means you get either Pop Muzik or the 7" B side, M Factor playing! I still have this 12" single)

Silly Thing - Sex Pistols

 

Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart (12" clear vinyl)
