[quote by=Sadie4 link=Blah.pl?b=albums,m=1089085410,s=5 date=1090952978] Yes, they are. What I don't understand yet is how the single Starwberry Fields/Penny Lane didn't go to number one to "Release me", a song that nobody remembers today...[/quote]
I for one remember it!
It`s actually a classic country music hit that British singer Engelbert covered and it depends on people`s tastes if they remember and/or like this song.
How could it keep PL/SFF from No. 1? My theory is that a lot of older women were attracted to that kind of song and that kind of singer - especially during these times of revolution and general 'otherness'. So these older, more conservative women (mostly) went out in force to buy that 45 - representing the quiet majority that was opposed to the counterculture of the 1960s.
