RECORD MIRROR singles reviews, 15th October 1976

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Would have sworn I voted. Consider “Love’s a Prima Donna” tied with “Wiggle that Wotsit.”

Claptooooon.....more like CRAPtooooon.....

That is... not the result I was expecting. Thought Steve Miller would win tbh.

Dennis Waterman was robbed.. oh wait

I didn't get to the playlist in time to vote. Catching up now and have been surprised at how it's nearly as bad as I thought – I actually found it more listenable on average than the 1966 one – until I just got to Sutherland Brothers & Quiver. Garbage indeed. Might skip the rest of this Sweet track too.

How it's not nearly as bad, that should read!

christ almighty

I'm going to have to listen to this Dennis Waterman thing amn't I?

Rock Island Line is reminding me of the shame of having 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon' as the No.1 of my birth. Is there a worse decade revival that the 70s one of the 50s?

Nice juxtaposition with Radioactivity coming next on the playlist. What a contrast.

Yeah, I originally thought this playlist would be almost unmitigated hell, but the balance of decent stuff vs duds turned out to be not so bad after all.

I'm going to have to listen to this Dennis Waterman thing amn't I?

I thought you would have bought it when it came out.
