The continued resurgence of the 7” record has given me an increased appetite for the single and this year has seen a bumper crop of releases – so much so that many great singles failed to make the top ten – honourable mentions to Town Bike, Their Hearts Were Full of Spring, Screaming Tea Party, The Pains of Being Pure At heart, Pocketbooks, Strawberry Story, Hermit Crabs and Das Wanderlust.
Top Ten singles:
10. The Scaremongers - Nodding Dog/ You Can Do Nothing Wrong (In My Eyes) (Corporation Pop)
Top Ten LPs:
05. Cats On Fire - The Province Complains (Marsh Marigold)
04. Insect Guide - 6FT In Love (Dead Penny/Squirrel)
And if I made this list at a different time (let's say, tomorrow) it could easily have included releases by any of the following: Super Furry Animals, Jonquil, Irene, The Voices, The Ponys, Plastic Fuzz, The Lodger, Love Dance, Ceremony, Tillmanns, Candie Payne, A Place To Bury Strangers and California Snow Story.
