Once again, Phew!
Just back from 2 days of walking up and down the huge hall at the Utrecht Record Fair, picking up singles along the way. I Came back with 57 singles, some real cracking discoveries in this lot...
Above you can see a Swedish copy of Son Of My father. Now, I know we had rely on Israel to beat the Russians for a chance to get to the European finals, but we're not really that bad, or...are we? More probably it was an interesting comment by our Swedish friends on the state of the economy at the time and the three day week.
Here is a rundown of the pick of the bunch. You're all welcome to make requests for the next reviews and sound clips from this lot...
