14 - Sister Sledge - Thinking of You
A gorgeous mid-tempo number, released as an A-side a few years after recording and rightly so, being one of the best songs recorded by Sister Sledge or the Chic team.

Just popped out to Waitrose and by the time I come back you’ve started yodelling.
Thanks for the advice, BTW, I might skip the gig and investigate her discography a little deeper.
Same tracks as the seven, I think, just the LP version as well as the 7” edit.
No didn’t know about the live LP, she’s playing in May here in Brighton and I’m very tempted to go see her, although I know nothing of her newer stuff.
Thanks, Ged, I did. It was my dad’s 85th (and he still walks faster than most people I know).
Poor Annie, she looks a little worse for the wear in that Tourists sleeve.
Laurie Anderson - Language Is a Virus from Outer Space 12” - O Superman 7”
#WeekendSingles
Was visiting my parents this week and stumbled into this beauty in a record shop (as you do). Goes with the O Superman 7” I got at Christmas.

13 - Carly Simon - Why
In which Carly goes too-slow-to-disco and hits the jackpot. Shame they didn’t do a whole album, but at this point Nile probably had got the call from Bowie, and when David calls…

Added to the list.
We should all congratulate ourselves on our excellent taste. 😁

12 - Sheila (and) B. Devotion - Spacer
Another day, another banger and another song I feel like I’ve known all my life. The video, needless to say, is fantastique!

100% this.
Esattamente.
It’s the thought that counts.
Mine had a different sleeve…
Yes, but I don’t have that anymore. ☹️
Need to get myself a new one!

11 - Diana Ross - Upside Down
The first 7” I ever bought and my favourite Diana song. Another flawless Rodgers/Edwards production that 46 years on still makes want to shake my thang. 3 mins of pure bliss.

Love both versions, but there’s something delightfully spooky about the Yaz/Yazoo version which was lost in the solo version.
It’s a very “Ged” song ! 🤣

10 - Norma Jean - Saturday
Another Rodgers/Edwards number, which despite sounding like a Chic song and featuring a Chic vocalist never made it to the pop charts. A shame, because it’s a certified banger.

I’ll have to look out for the doc. She certainly helped pave the way for female artists, I can’t begin to imagine the sort of crap she’s had to deal with.
First of many!

9 - Madonna - Like a Virgin
There's no doubt that Madonna would have become one of the world’s biggest pop stars even without Nile’s help, but his sterling production on this album must have helped a bit

Small brag: we used to live in the same block as hers for a few years. Once I got a delivery for her by mistake and as a good neighbour, I went to knock on her door to hand it over. Alas, I got the housekeeper so I never got to meet Charlotte. 😌
Love Charlotte.
And Low Happening!

8 - Grace Jones - I’m Not Perfect (but I’m Perfect for You)
It’s crazy that Grace and Nile didn’t work together before 1986: their first release was this majestic piece of electro-pop. Worth the wait!

Across the Avenue from the debut is such a gorgeous song.🎵
That whole album ❤️❤️❤️
