I'll second White Punks On Dope.
I'd also like to throw "King Tubby meets Rockers Uptown" by Augustus Pablo, into the mix. As a b side does this count?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Strict rules have been applied and here are the 32

draw sometime this afternoon .......... I may apply a confederation style filter to split the punk/ post punk/ European power block up. Or I might not bother.

some pointers to clarify:

'Up The Junction' is probably better than 'Cool For Cats'. HOWEVER, 'Cool for Cats' was seconded earlier in the process, likewise the 'London Calling' and 'Complete Control' debacle.

The 7" was called 'Voodoo CHILD'

[Pevenseagull]

I'd love to see Magazine win this but the bookies have Bowie and Donna Summer as the favourites.

 

[T.G]

ELO - Mr Blue Sky
Elvis Costello - Oliver's Army

Seconded for Elvis, but ELO !!!! not even

 

[Trufflehound]

Led Zeppelin didn't release any 7"s

...in the UK. They had hit singles in several countries including the US in the 1970s, but they were released without the band's consent.

Morning has Broken - Val Doonican

Can anyone actually provide any evidence this was a single? You may need to launch a steward's enquiry. Being sad I have trawled the net, and my old Guinness Book of British Hit Singles, and it certainly wasn't in the UK charts. He did record it on a 1972 album, but there's nothing on t'internet that makes me think it was released on 7". Of course, the internet doesn't know everything, so maybe the proposer has a copy?

Val did have a big hit in 1971 with a song just called Morning. But that's a completely different song to the old hymn that Cat Stevens made famous.

Interesting!

can Ian Dury do a Denmark

 

[Lenny Rider]

I'm with Truflehound I don't think Val ever released MHB, age playing tricks with various NSC memories.

Can we have Rod Stewart's double A side First cut is the deepest/I don't want to talk about it as a replacement?

 

[Austrian Gull]

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

The Kinks - Lola

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

The Kinks - Lola

Both brilliant, but I fear that you may be too late...
