Best single that never made the UK top 40 singles chart

[BlueMoonRisin’]

This would had easily made top 40 with radio play.

I agree in what you say there. Head like a rock is a great album. His book Mersey Beast is a very good read.

Looks just like her mother
Strangely nothing like her brother

A great read .... the audiobook version he narrates himself is amazing too.

Fragile thing - Big Country
This was the single from Driving to Damascus and if what I was told there was a fuck up in the packaging of the single resulting that shops had their stocks recalled, therefor no single to purchase.
The rest is a tragedy.
Eddie Reader does vocals and harmony on it. If one of you clever kind persons could put it up, I would appreciate the gesture.

Yeah, great song, See You from the same album is also a good single which only reached number 77.

Ballad of Lucy Jordan - Marianne Faithfull

Always assumed this was Top 40 as it made an indelible impression on my 15 year old punk obsessed brain, but apparently stalled at 48. From the equally astonishing Broken English LP.

OMD - Electricity (only broke Top 100)

Wow, that surprised me. Great song, their first single I recall. OMD are still releasing cracking music today, English Electric is a brilliant album, we’ll worth a listen.

[Dr Dweeb]

Sniff 'n' the tears 'Drivers Seat' got to 42 in 1979

 

[Dirty Harry]

Had the 12” of that , think “John I’m only dancing” was one of the two B sides iirc ?
Fantastic song .
