LP Spandau Ballet - Snakes & Lovers (1LP Through The Barricades)

Released as a single in France to qualify for the chart this week (with "Half A Person" as its flipside) on the way to a peak of #4 in January 1987, I have Morrissey & Marr's signature tune from The Queen Is Dead. I urge everyone who loves this song to bring an end to the ghastly poodle rockers reign on top of the Haven Combi Retro Chart as soon as possible.

And yes replace them with different poodle rockers

seriously if I knew i could have charted this I would, definite number one for me as well, sadly not a hit in my chart.

2nd December 1986

2 weeks on top for Erasure, as Madonna's True Blue album delivers the highest new entry at 6 with the fab Open Your Heart. The even-fabber La Isla Bonita is in my playlist as ineligible for my singles-only listings. She also replaces one of her own songs in the top 10 as Nick Kamen drops, and keeps her hot streak of top 10's going. Bucks Fizz add to their long-list of top 10's with a warm Christmassy ballad - or at least a cocoa-advert-ey ballad. Oran 'Juice' Jones gets another big leap into the 20, and big top 40 leapers include Cameo, Gregory Abbott, Genesis and Cliff & Elton. The late Jackie Wilson is reinvented in plasticine video form and makes fifties biggie Reet Petite about to become the oldest record to top the UK charts - but not mine. 

Billy Ocean is big in 1986, so why not remix his first hit from 1976? In at 57, and the Motown-flavoured original still sounds better than most of his 80's hits these days. Daryl Hall keeps the solo entries coming, also from the Class of '76 debuts, while George Benson shivers a bit (Winter is here!) and a run of 11 chart years since Supership. Quo can beat that - 1973 they debuted in my charts, and now have 2 in the listings, how greedy! Of course Macca beats the lot of 'em, being as he debuted with The Beatles on top of my first retro charts in 1968 with Hey Jude, and is back with another Press To Play track.

Jackie Wilson had a UK hit with Reet Petite in 1957, and it was co-written by Berry Gordy Jr who wrote many hits back then, and then founded the Motown label shortly after. Jackie Wilson had a stroke in 1975 and died in 1984.

Now with a video of animated plasticine, they have re-released it.



Given that Dexy's Midnight Runners covered Van Morrison's "Jackie Wilson Said" a few years ago, it's interesting they enter this week too, with a song that is the theme tune of Brush Strokes.

The Housemartins' entry is a cover version of a song by Isley Jasper Isley (which is 2 of the Isley Brothers plus Chris Jasper) and have decided they will be this year's Flying Pickets.
