Anyone heard of these?...They should have been huge!!

Private Lives- Living in a world (turned upside down)
Energy orchard - Somebody's brother
Two way street - Big Shot
David Austin - Turn to Gold
Glass Tiger - My Town
Jeffrey Garland - Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll
Big Dish - Miss America
Bourgeois Tagg - I don't mind at all

Now that's what I call music !!

'This is the day' is one of my all time top ten favourite songs.  Never understood why it wasn't massive! ;D

'This Is The Day' is an excellent song - so is 'The Beat(en) Generation'.

I agree - but Beat(en) Generation did get to the top 20.

Though I suspect that it probably sold no more than Uncertain Smile and This is The Day
