Hello all, throwing this idea open for ideas / suggestions / critique as I was listening earlier to A Twilight Alehouse gave me the thought of how many singles the band had done, seeing as the aforementioned was one of a few flexi discs released.
I perused the UK and USA catalogues thus and the figure was 40+ and so for a cup format I would have to prune a few numbers from the following list:
The Silent Sun - Decca - 1968
A Winter's Tale - Decca - 1968
Where The Sour Turns To Sweet - Decca - 1969
Looking For Someone - Charisma - 1970
The Knife - Charisma - 1971
Happy The Man - Charisma - 1972
Watcher Of The Skies - Charisma USA - 1973
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - Charisma - 1974
Counting Out Time - Charisma - 1974
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Atco USA -1974
The Carpet Crawlers - Charisma - 1975
A Trick Of The Tail - Charisma - 1976
Ripples - Atco USA - 1976
Your Own Special Way - Charisma - 1977
Follow You Follow Me - Charisma - 1978
Go West Young Man (In The Motherlode) - Atlantic USA - 1978
Many Too Many - Charisma - 1978
Turn It On Again - Charisma - 1980
Duchess - Charisma - 1980
Spot The Pigeon EP - Charisma - 1977
Misunderstanding - Charisma - 1980
Abacab - Charisma - 1981
No Reply At All - Atlantic USA - 1981
Man On The Corner - Charisma - 1982
Paperlate - Atlantic USA - 1982
Mama - Charisma - 1983
That's All - Charisma - 1983
Illegal Alien - Charisma - 1984
Taking It All Too Hard - Atlantic USA - 1984
Invisible Touch - Virgin - 1986
In Too Deep - Virgin - 1986
Land Of Confusion - Virgin - 1986
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (Remix) - Virgin - 1987
Throwing It All Away - Virgin - 1987
No Son Of Mine - Virgin - 1991
I Can't Dance - Virgin - 1991
Hold On My Heart - Virgin - 1992
Jesus He Knows Me (Single Mix) - Virgin - 1992
Invisible Touch (Live) 1992 - Virgin - 1992
Tell Me Why - Virgin - 1993
Not About Us (Album Version) - Atlantic USA - 1998
So that is my proposal though as a newbie here, some kind soul may point out if this a) has been done before and b) which section of the board it would go in (or would Suppers Ready be it?)
I need to whittle the final list down to 32 and think that removing the American releases might be the way.
Thanks in advance, Oliver.
