AFAIK that was the first and only time it was released. Horrible...Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again... -
But "Free as a bird" had never been release before, right?

It's damned difficult to say who exactly started Garage Psychadelica. Key bands of the genre (13th Floor Elevators, Chocolate Watch Band etc.) all formed in around 1965.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Actually, I liked it. But I liked it "Real Love" better. BTW, Real Love had indeed been released before, in the "Imagine: John Lennon" soundtrack album (1988).Originally posted by Hueij

I've got a whole bunch lined up unashamedly stolen from a fun site I found on the internet... But first here's one I was researching when I found that site...
Seven jamaican records have topped the british charts. Ignoring the four ****gy hits in the nineties, can you name the other three? Can you name the two even more famous Jamaican records that only reached #2?Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

It's "Kites" by Simon Dupree & The Big Sound. I totally lucked out on this one. I was delving into some Elton John stuff - as I'm wont to do - and his early days referred to a band with which he'd played keyboards. Who had a late 60s hit single - upon which young Reg didn't play - with psychedelic flavour that was atypical of their material. On the off chance that I was onto something relevant ... and the rest, with some vigorous cross-referencing, as they say, is history. I've actually got the song as a track on an old LP of one-hit wonders.Originally posted by Fiera
More questions, more questions!
I'll throw some lyrics lines in before I finally go to bed, let's see if you remember these:

So the '82 re-release of "Love Me Do" is probably the most successful re-release. If so, that's very odd. Of all the songs ...Originally posted by Snapcase

Interesting question. We can rule out Mr Marley, for starters. He never managed better than #4. With two #5s. Hmmmmmm ...Originally posted by Snapcase

Late thought. I assume you're not counting Boney M, one third of whom was Jamaican?

And I was thinking of witty clues to give you in case you hadn't found it out...
But I'll extend a bit on it anyway. You've already probably read about it but The Big Sound were a quite unsuccesful R'n'B act who got jealous about The Moody Blues international recognition after their turn to psychedelia. So they thought they'd do the same, and recorded this psychedelic, asian-sounding tune (quite good actually) which brought them into the Brit Top Ten. But they weren't able to follow it up. They ended up as the core of Gentle Giant."An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike"

Not yet, tomorrow is a holiday here!
My knowledge of Jamaica's music is even poorer than my understanding of the cricket rules, so... More questions, more questions!

I imagine cricket - to a non-devotee - is a bit like Jamaican music; pretty much impenetrable. So what's the holiday?
Back to Snappy's question. One of the three has to be Desmond Dekker's "Israelites" in 1969." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak
