poptimists...what I made yesterday. These were all hit singles in the UK and for reference purposes I have added the song's highest chart placing and the year it charted. Talk about individual songs if you like, or how good/rub the CD is, but I'm more interested in what story (if any) you think this compilation is telling. I'll explain the method behind the madness here in the Comments if there's sufficient interest.

Re: Don't Know If This Is What You Had In Mind
Date: 2006-09-27 02:27 pm (UTC)Your Springsteen comment is interesting as I noticed last night that one of the other Tremeloes records here ("Suddenly You Love Me" IIRC) was ripped off chord for chord by some other record that came much later. Stupidly, I've now completely forgotten what that other record is.
All four of these Tremeloes records are great, incidently. And none of them sound remotely like each other.

A quick re-spin reminds me it's "The Ruling Class" by The Monochrome Set.
