The BMRB Years- Top 10 Sales
I agree Fantasy Island is the better Tight Fit song. The Look Of Love and Hungry Like The Wolf are both enduring hits from this era.

I don't mind leaving this till next week. I'm in the middle of Storm Ashley and might lose power at any time. It does seem to have subsided a bit now.

I see the song I had planned for the next Unknown Pleasures contest is here so I will have to find something else. There's plenty of time.

Only You is very good and Instinction is my favourite Spandau Ballet song. The humour in the Scotland squad song made it more interesting than the England one.

My record of the week 60 years ago
15th - 21st October 1964 28. Reach Out For Me - Dionne Warwick Just a week later, we have another cover of a Lou Johnson song, again written by Bacharach and David. Dionne's vocal is spot on, supported by piano, strings and the drums, a really classy record. 32. Remember (Walkin' In The Sand) - The Shangri-Las The first of just two hits for the girl group. There's a lot going on here with tempo changes, seaside sound effects, finger clicking and dramatic piano parts. It's all well put together. 34. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey An iconic Bond theme which surprisingly will only get to number 21. 37. Three Little Words (I Love You) - The Applejacks The last of the Applejacks' top 40 hits is an mediocre piece of Brumbeat. They will split up in 1967. 38. Bye Bye Baby - Tony Jackson and the Vibrations This is a new group formed by Tony Jackson who sang lead on some of the Searchers' early hits. It's a spirited effort with good use of the organ and the addition of female backing singers. It will be their only hit single and is nothing to do with the Four Seasons/Bay City Rollers song with the same title. 39. Questions I Can't Answer - Heinz The last of four top 40 hits for Heinz is an OK song with his distinctive raspy vocal. Record of the week : 35. Do I Love You - The Ronettes Dionne Warwick, Shirley Bassey or the Shangri-Las could all have taken the award this week but I'm going for the Ronettes' final UK hit single. The Spector wall of sound is in full effect here along with the fabulous lead and backing vocals. The single will go no higher than number 35 and the group will split up in the same year as the Applejacks. Lk0jlimgdww
