I Love #1s - 1954

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week's titanic fight between those late-eighties pop ladies was right down to the wire, with Belinda just pipping Tiffany and Kylie to the top spot, making Heaven Is A Place On Earth your favourite number one of 1988 with a monstrous 44 ticks. This week the poll boxes might be a little less fruitful as we wind our way right back to 1954, when record sales were still counted on the fingers of two hands and rock and roll was but a glint in Bill Haley's eye.

The Atwell record is the template for that Peel session by Elton John that Martin and I were talking about last week on the EJ canon thread.

I have a version of it on a 7" EP that I found for 50p in the MVE basement.
