2 Million And Rising - Influx UK

Advantages: The biggest selling records from a memorable musical era
Disadvantages: No Beatles, No Rolling Stones, No Elvis

...Silver Lining, this is another classic track which fully justifies its inclusion on this album. RELEASE ME - ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK Engelbert's first hit came eight years after his recording debut. His revival of this 17 year old country song spent 56 weeks on the chart and sold more than a million in the UK alone. Needs to introduction. PUPPET ON A STRING - SANDIE SHAW Who can forget the image of the young temptress appearing in the Eurovision Song contest in bare feet.
