Hello everyone,

Warning: VERY LENGTHY Post Follows

As some of you will know, I posted a list of my collection of 7" singles (back in August of last year), that I recall, from my Grove "era" (primarily between the years 1980 and 1986, more or less).

Following on from the posting of this list, I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of, and to try to purchase if possible, the "outstanding" 7" singles that I don't have from that era. It has taken me a while to compile (with the help of friends both on here, and elsewhere) this "outstanding" list but after a few false dawns, I eventually completed a list of what I felt I was missing from my collection from the Grove 1980-1986 playlists. Thanks to all of ye (especially IanL) who have jogged the memory banks and added to the expanded list. A few singles outside of the 1980-1986 years have also made their way to the list but in the main, these are all songs I heard (or think I heard) down in the Grove during my time there.

Now, thanks to online music stores, e-bay and the many second-hand record stores in Dublin, plus a few generous donations from Grovers (thanks Rolo!!) and non-Grovers alike, I have finally collected all of these outstanding 7" singles and my record collection, I feel, now much more accurately reflects the songs I remember (or think I remember) from the Grove 1980-1986(ish) years. A few of the songs may not *definitely* have been played down there but most, if not all, were. Also, I know that a few on the list weren't played until after 1986 (but since I cant recall exactly when I stopped going down the Grove, they have also been left in).

There were/are a few songs on my outstanding list that I couldn?t get because, as far as I know, they are NOT available on 7" vinyl. Those songs are, the ones I can think of anyway:

"Bullfrog Blues" and "Messing with the Kid" by Rory Gallagher, "Jonathan" by Barclay James Harvest and "Turn me on" by the Tubes.

Which brings me nicely on to the point of this lengthy post. Notwithstanding the four songs listed above, I am quite sure that there are some 7" singles (hopefully, not hundreds or so!!??) that I have forgotten to add to my list but at this stage, I have drawn a blank. If you went to the Grove, roughly between the years 1980 to 1986, and you can remember a song that was played down there but I havent listed, could you please reply to this post or simply PM me!?

Anyway, here is my revised collection of 7" singles in alphabetical order. I would be very grateful if you would please take a look:

Edit: Photo of record 'boxes' below!  For info, they were made from Photocopier paper boxes coated with wood-effect "contact" paper from the wallpaper shop(thanks for the tip about the contact paper, Roundy!).

Edit 2: Collection added to (via E-Bay) with suggested records.  Thanks for all the suggestions.  4/1/2008.  Bruns.

Edit 3: Collection added to.  "I want to break free" by Queen and "Whiskey in the Jar" by Thin Lizzy.  25/3/2008.

Edit 4: Added "The Lovecats" by the Cure to the list.  Cheers Chris!

19/9/2009.

Edit 5: Added "Whatever You Want" by Status Quo.  Cant believe I forgot that one. 26/11/2009.

Edit 6: I was incorrect when I said that "Fearless" by Pink Floyd is not available on 7" single since I know, for a fact, that Cecil has a copy of it in his collection (I saw it in his 'wooden boxes' on the night we did one of the webcasts!).  (April 2010)

Edit 7: Finally obtained "Fearless" by Pink Floyd, on E-bay, in a picture sleeve, no less (it's the B side of "One of These Days").   Also picked up a copy of "What you're proposing" by Status Quo, 1980, which I think was played at the Grove, but I cant recall (June 2011).

Edit 8: For some reason I was thinking about this list last week and I realised to my horror that I had forgotten two Grove regular songs from David Bowie ("Life on Mars" and "Rebel Rebel") - the pic sleeve versions of both singles has now been added to the collection, thanks to e-bay - I dont know where I'd be without it. (12 March 2012).

Wow thats some list.
Are these the ones you have or does it include some that are missing ?
If it includes the missing perhaps if you could edit the post to highlight or indicate the ones that you are still searching for.

Wow, even just reading the list of your collection makes me feel nostalgic. However, I DID notice there were a few missing that you haven't got. Feel free to correct me if you reckon I'm wrong but if my memory serves me well here's a few more:

Phil Collins: You Can't Hurry Love

The Cure: Just Like Heaven

Heaven 17: Temptation

Siouxsie and the Banshees: Arabian Knights

The Smiths: How Soon is Now?

The Mission: Wasteland

Sisters of Mercy: Temple of Love, This Corrosion

Thanks for the comments folks.

Finno, just to clarify - all of the records listed above are now in the collection - the wish list is, thankfully, complete.

Jen, thanks for the extra suggestions (I suspect that some of them are post 1986 releases so they havent been included but I will check the years for them).

 That's some list, Mel. Seems very comprehensive too. All that could possibly be missing there are the 'once offs' but you've even covered some of those!

You've  got The Grove in a box....mmm...we could always have it in your front room the next time we're stuck for a venue!

Glad you got to the end of the list,Mel-(although isn't the chase often better than the kill?)...I know you've been working on that collection for years.

Impressive list...now-care to list all the B-sides???

(Only joking!)

Thats a brilliant list, a labour of love if ever there was one, thanks for sharing.  Would it fit on an iPod???!!

I went from 83 to 87 fairly religiously and the only Alan Parsons song I recall from that time was "Eye in the Sky" ... was "our song" for me and my first real girlfriend and was played most weeks during that time.  Ah, the memories! Wonder where she is now ....

Loved Big Log Fester...a true laid back tune,sitting in a circle,clapping to the slow beat,soooo laid back it almost falls over.

Big Self rang a bell as soon as I read your post but cannot remember a song. Anyone else?

Was it a Grove tune?

Good one there.Stardust...was it a Grove song?

I liked their 'Big in Japan' as well,which definitely was NOT a Grove song...

Forever Young by Alphaville

Maybe 1983ish

Big Self were a Northern Irish band and they were on the bill -way down mind you - with U2 / Simple Minds / Eurythmics / Steel Pulse etc in Phoenix Park August '83 (? I think).  The song had a line in it about "the sun, the sun on the roof again". Was a little gem of a tune and Cecil favoured it for about a year.

Forever Young was a great call too and what about Cyndi Lauper "Time after Time"?  A real smoocher.

By the way is it a dream or did he once play "Hello" by Lionel Richie and then at the end take it off the record player and smash it in half? Someone please tell me this happened! In my memory the crowd went ballistic.

Mel,

Wouldn't even pretend to comment on that list, it looks definitive to me! Congrats on getting there - I know that any time I mentioned it to you, your eyes lit up as you described the excitment of the project.

So - what's next? Maybe rebuild ancient rome in your back garden? Solve the riddle of alchemy? Or maybe just listen to them all in one sitting?

don't want you getting bored now!

Do you mean 'resident' goths or resistant, P?

Yes, Siouxsie and The Banshees did cover The Passenger. They also covered "This Wheel's on Fire" around the same time. But as the Banshees. The Creatures was Siouxsie and Budgie's side project.

Nope. Sorry Rolo, the former Banshee is very much alive and well. Only thing that's dead is the band itself and Siouxsie's marriage to Budgie. She's no gone solo...in more ways than one!

God I really had no shame back then, that song or a male smelling of lynx oriental and i was hooked. Actually i dont think my standards have improved much since.

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides...

Or something to that effect! That's one of my favourites too from back in the day. That and Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper, not so much because of the songs themselves, but more for the mammaries, I mean, memories that go with it. I remember my sister had bought the sheet music for Sometimes When We Touch around that time, so I was getting it from all angles, there was no escaping Mr. Hill...

I know it's been mentioned before,but wasn't it mad to see people slow dancing to either Freebird or Stairway all smoochey and suddenly for the endings a mass separation for the headbanging...

I do remember slowdancing to Stairway once with someone and just at that 'Dah Nah Nah' heavy guitar part I went to stand back and could feel her hands on my waist holding me in so we continued slow dancing for the rest of the song while everyone around us was headbanging like crazy-very weird but very enjoyable...

Had considered requesting Don't Stop Believin' on Sunday cos I've never had a chance to have a good head bang to that and it's ripe for a good ole Figure of 8   But didn't as I wasn't sure it was ever a Grove number.

I'm not absolutely certain but I *think* Journey were played.  IanL came up with a load of tracks for me when I was compiling my original 1980-1986 lists and he remembers "Dont stop believing" and "Separate Ways" being played.  Considering he got a lot of other obscure tracks by other bands on the list(that I do definitely remember being played), I'll go with his memory rather than mine.
