British Hit Singles & Albums book

Pre-internet, this was my music bible. I bought updated copies of this book many times (from 1977 onwards). The last version I bought was this 2004 singles / albums amalgamated edition. #GuinnessWorldRecords #BritishHitSingles #70s #80s #70sSingles #80sSingles #MusicSky

John I’m only dancing (again) single sleeve

My favourite 12” single - John, I’m Only Dancing (Again) from #DavidBowie - was released 45 years ago. As well as the funky as it can get music, I always loved the reflective Bowie pictured on the sleeve.
“Boogie down with David now”
