Marc Bolan wasn't a bummer either :confused:

He was camp but only went with women.

Anyway, Electric Warrior was the 2nd album I bought.

I'm 1000% positive that Led Zeppelin never released a single in this country and I'm 999% positive Child In Time was never a single in this country.
I do have both on vinyl but they were imports.

Ahhh the link I clicked on must have been for the US singles. The No.1 on my birthday was definitely a UK one but I may well have gotten click happy after that.

EDIT: Followed the link in the OP again and it does seem to be singles that were released somewere in the world in that year rather than just UK. Even so still good tunes
