Best single that never made the UK top 40 singles chart

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Was it the same week that was meant to be the first (and only) performance by the Freshies? The record stalled and Chris Sievey never got his band on there again...
... a good job really or Chris may never have given us the wonderful Frank.

Yes that 100% happened to The Freshies, but Northside was 1990 so different era

Top Band.

I'd add Age of Consent and Love Vigilantes to that list but strangely neither were released as a single?

Age of Consent is a brilliant track.got a rough and ready live version on my first ever bootleg tape purchase,sat night at Rock City back in the day.still got it somewhere. Can remember a band member shouting
" move back,move back " to the crowd..to let the television cameras in
" they're the ones with all the Fucking money!!"
Early New Order were basically punk.aggressive ,attrional guitar and vocal with pulsating bass.
Great sound.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Lived in Liverpool for most of the 1980’s. Any number of local bands releasing great stuff that never went anywhere.....
