[quote]I'll throw in 10 of which there are many.

[b]Mark and John - This one's for you (with dedication)[/b]

Every ingredient a summer hit record should have and somehow didn't chart back in 1972

[b]Jonathan King - Million dollar bash[/b]

Great version of the Bob Dylan song in 1970 It made it onto Decca's  World of Hits Volume 5 !

[b]Abba - So Long[/b]

Probably their best rocker, despite &quot;Top of the Pops&quot; on the back of &quot;Waterloo&quot; it flopped badly, proving that Eurovision didn't make any difference to Abba's success. They would have come along anyway.

[b]Julie Felix - Clotho's web[/b]

Very underrated singer/songwriter/guitarist. This powerful bass driven track from 1973 requires listening.

[b]Leo Sayer - Why is everybody going home[/b]

His first single from 1973 and far better than his pop hits. This would have been convincing by Steve Harley.

[b]John Kerruish - A time to wander[/b]

a&amp;m single from 1970 by the elusive Monksilvar vocalist. Gorgeous production creating a pure psychedelic pop sound. The man had an immense vocal range, which made up for his stammer during speech, years and years before Gareth Gates came along.

[b]J Vincent Edwards - Love hit me[/b]

Perfect combination of pop and northern soul, which eventually charted for Maxine Nightingale. this version from 1975 is superb

[b]Prelude - Edge of the sea[/b]

Debut single from 1971 and impossible to find as a stock copy with the 6 minute version. the edited demo does turn up. Irene Hume has a gorgeous voice and this is almost an LP on its own

[b]Gary Benson - Sharing you[/b]

Only had one small hit but this guy had a fabulous ability to write commercial ballads and sing them. This one was in 1976

[b]David and David - In the city[/b]

1970 single from the genius partnership of David Mindel and David Seys which is now highly collectible. Amazing lyrics and harmonies and a fabulous &quot;three day week&quot; style chorus which immediately takes anyone back to the era, if they were alive at the time

Sadly I didn't manage to fit &quot;God save the sex pistols&quot; by Elizabeth on here. I hope she isn't too distressed.[/quote]

JC	An obscure single from 1970 which comes to mind is Who Shot The Piper Man? by Man and Wife. Better still was the B side called You Got Soul, which has one of my favourite ever base lines.
giles2008	Funny enough this track came up on Footy Mad/Fratton Faithful a wee while back.It was a Tony Macaulay song and was one of his tracks that was covered by David Soul on one of his albums.
The Cat	One of my favourite tracks from the 70s which didn't chart is 'Gypsy Roadhog' by Slade. Also 'Kangaroo Rock' by Hank Mizell which I thought was better than 'Jungle Rock'.
david	the first song by Donna Summer I fell in love with. funnily enough I Feel Love started out as the b-side to this.
