If you were a Castway what be pick for Desert Island Discs?
I am intrigued about your taste and knowledge of music Rich!

For a double album called Chart Hits 81 what does not make sense to me is the high number of totally non hits that are actually on it, some of which you've noted above and also that Exile one missed the entire top fifty. Nothing below, except Exile at 54 actually charted in the UK. Odd choices, and very much not chart hits in 81 or any other year before or since.
Who the heck were The Scoop?
On Volume 1;
Prisoner, Shelia B. Devotion.
Heart & Soul, Exile. (No54)
On Volume 2;
Outlaw, Gerard Kenny.
You Should Hear, Charlie Dore.
In Your Letter, REO Speedwagon.
Qwaka Song, Waders.
Panic, The Scoop.

Oh, my days Rich, there was one song on Volume 1 that stood out to me but I had totally forgotten about it. Which is Prisoner.
Anything else take your fancy from this playlist? I got Volume 2 at the same time. This was a No1 album actually, in the days when compilations and artists albums slugged it out against each other in the same album charts.
The track was Heart & Soul, I've checked it out online and I'm sure the versions available don't quite sound like the same production as on the K-Tel compilation album, yet they were all supposed to be original artists. It's my oldest surviving personally owned music cassette.

I remember you saying you were a casual fan of Exile. Just found this on my YT feed.
