Do I understand that there's a few of you out there with large collections of old Record Mirrors?
If so......................................
how's about you take it turns to post the Top 20 from different months / years?
Just so we poor Record Mirror-less plebs can see what was about and perhaps have our grey matter jogged!
I'm sure there's loads of stuff I've forgotten about (and my wants list is rather tiny)
You'd be loved forever!! (Well, until Colin Farrell comes knocking at me door at least) :P

Neil - if you like their version of Somebody To Love you'd enjoy Relight My Fire too ;)

JEEZ....No way !! - I want it, but not that badly :lol:
Underground Hit [Level 5]
Marmite 7, you need to flip Cafe Society's Relight my fire, cos the best track is the B side So much in love.

For me, Dan Hartman's original version of 'Relight My Fire' was such disco perfection that no other version comes near to it.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
Better than TAKE THAT & LULU?! :lol: :lol: LOL
Underground Hit [Level 5]
I agree Sandra...an all time classic, and not even the sight of Robbie William's nipples on TOTP made Take That's version any better...although Dame Lulu is, of course, fab! :D
Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
No comment Neil! I s'pose Joey Negro's production was good but so 90s & therefore not at all glamorous or exciting.
Platinum Record [Level 8]
Gotta agree with you pal - the 90s was DULL DULL DULL :lol:

Yes Sandra, its one of thos erecords that is just about perfect and therefore it makes covering it pointless.
Chart Hit [Level 6]
Aha - but were they trying to better the original, or just doing their own interpretation?
Couldn't the same be said for (what seems like) half of the hi-nrg tunes you've danced to and still love?
Flirtations - Earthquake
Croisette - Landslide
Angie Gold - Third Finger Left Hand
Kofi & The Lovetones - Countdown
Velvette - Nothing's Worse Than Being Alone & Gotta Have Your Love
Evelyn Thomas - Reflections
Jamie Dean - Love Child
Deborah Washington - Nothing But Heartaches
Cafe Society - Somebody To Love
American Fade - I'm Alive
and another record that couldn't bettered - Harold Melvin having done the original & best version.
Jeanie Tracy - Don't Leave Me This Way.
Doesn't make them NOT worth listening to! (Well, cept Reflections - perhaps) ;)
Get the Cafe Society version of Relight My Fire and make your own mind up Neil. (And try the B side)

Mark - I will have to try & track down a copy.. Im curious now !
(I always hated TAKE THAT - Very overrated - cute buns tho...)

No, some of the tunes you list above are great and I've yet to hear a great version of relight my fire other than the Dan Hartman. Cover versions can be fantastic and I see the point you are making. BTW I prefer the Thelma Houston version of "Don't leave me" :o
Platinum Record [Level 8]
Thelma`s version is great but Jeanie tracy`s version will always be my favourite.No, some of the tunes you list above are great and I've yet to hear a great version of relight my fire other than the Dan Hartman.
