My dad thought there was a group called Suzy and the Bad Cheese. Many years later he told me there was a character called Iggle Pop in In the Night Garden...

Happy International Clash Day! Yes I know it was yesterday but who cares.. #WeekendSingles ##45rpm #musicsky #vinylsky #StandaloneSingles #TheClash

Morning singlers, some recent faves hot off the turntable #WeekendSingles #45rpm #musicsky #vinylsky

A common theme today, but it had to be done #WeekendSingles #45rpm #musicsky #vinylsky #Bowie

Some French singles and EPs for the first #WeekendSingles of 2026

Day 24 #AdventSingles 2 days early for boxing day #BoxTops

Day 23 #AdventSingles RIP #JoeStrummer 22 December 2002

Day 22 #AdventSingles Keep a little Marc in your heart #MetalGuru

Day 21 #AdventSingles In a world that's constantly changing, #DustySpringfield will never let you down

Day 20 #AdventSingles It's Saturday at last- time to turn the music up!

Day 19 #AdventSingles Happy birthday #KeithRichards

Day 18 #AdventSingles The sneering tone, the complete confidence, the sheer power of the music... #BobDylan at his peak

Day 17 #AdventSingles Incredibly, the #IsleyBrothers have been around since 1954, scoring hits in six decades. This manages to be simultaneously mournful and upbeat, like so many of their songs.

Day 16 #AdventSingles I guess #NancySinatra is the original nepo baby...but these days I prefer her to Frank.

Day 15 #AdventSingles Two hit wonder's second hit single after scoring big with Walk Away Renee. Same baroque pop, no Four Tops cover version this time.

Day 14 #AdventSingles #Superfly and #Shaft are more well known, but #TroubleMan by #MarvinGaye is my favourite of the blaxploitation soundtracks of the esrly 1970s.

Day 13 #AdventSingles Motown session guitarist #DennisCoffey's 1971 hit #Scorpio has had an incredible afterlife as a sample on dozens of hip hop records. It also reappeared recently in an episode of #BetterCallSaul

Day 12 #AdventSingles There was always more to #Deee-lite than just Groove Is In The Heart, and actually I've always preferred Thank You Everyday from their second album.

Day 11 #AdventSingles As featured in the opening credits of #BoogieNights and written by and featuring most of Earth, Wind and Fire

Day 10 #AdventSingles Originally offered to and rejected by Dusty Springfield, the song was passed to her friend #MadelineBell who recorded a low key, sensual and more down to earth version than the more famous showbiz one by The Supremes and The Temptations.

Day 9 #AdventSingles Some will insist #SlyStone peaked with #There'saRiotGoingOn, but he still had some surprises like If You Want Me To Stay from the Fresh album. Certainly a candidate for best bassline ever...

Day 8 #AdventSingles RIP #JohnLennon 8 December 1980

Day 7 #AdventSingles This song by #MinnieRiperton is pure unadulterated joy.

#WeekendSingles Some #Turkish singles with their own unique sleeve designs (especially the 10cc one) #AdventSingles #45rpm #musicsky #vinylsky

Day 6 #AdventSingles Andrea True, adult movie star, goes to Jamaica to make a film. Meanwhile, a coup takes place and the regime ban taking currency out of the country. Unable to go home with her money, she heads for a studio to record this song. Resourceful or what? #AndreaTrueConnection

Day 5 #AdventSingles Remembering the great #SteveCropper, definitely a "less is more" guitarist who understood the value of space and responsible for immortal songs by #OtisRedding, #WilsonPickett and many others as well as #BookerTandtheMGs

Day 4 #AdventSingles The first punk single? Who knows... ? and the mysterians, such a great name for a group and what a mesmerising song #96Tears

Day 3 #AdventSingles This 33rpm single by #LonnieListonSmith and the Cosmic Echoes is a freaky, funky tune incorporating simmering keyboards, wah wah guitar, meaty percussion and smooth vocals blended into a lysergic whole.

Day 2 (missed day 1) #AdventSingles Not one of the more popular #Chic songs at the time of release, but it had a huge second life thanks to being sampled by Modjo for their hit 'Lady (Hear Me Tonight)' 20 years later. Stick with the original, I say!
