The Vinyl Countdown # 36
ABBA, Dancing Queen [Single] (1976) I can’t lie – I really started to appreciate ABBA after I heard Elvis Costello’s little nod to them in his Oliver’s Army tune. If he liked them they must be good. Prior to that it was just radio music from when I was a young kid and everyone seemed […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 263
