Sometimes I like a comment so much, I just have to post it to my own blog. This was left at troubled diva, to which you'll have to click to find out the link to the Spreadsheet of Number one singles which contains the soon-to-be notorious* Line 609.
"May I be slightly pedantic, in that on Line 609, "With A Little Help From My Friends" was actually released as a Double A, and I bought it on the strength of the flip side, "She's Leaving Home" by Billy Bragg.
I actually bought it the day before my sister's wedding, which could be the cue for a very poignant story. Except that I was thinking "She's leaving home, finally I get a bedroom to myself, typical me to have to wait until I'm away at Uni for that to happen!"
Incidentally, do they have Double As these days. I always thought them very good vfm, two A sides on one disc. Mind you in "the old days" there were some class songs as "B sides". In fact Adam Ant even released an EP called The 'B' sides. The best B side ever was "Seconds" on the back of "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League.
Not like nowadays when yer average CD single includes The Song, the Radio mix, the Ibiza mix, the trance mix, the Mix mix, the Sample mix."
And what is my head singing right now? Why! Band of Gold, of course!
* on this blog, anyway
