Peter Gabriel - '1 / Car'  :)

After having had the vinyl, the cassette and then bought the MP3s, which being DRM 'died' on me, I finally got around to getting the remastered CD, had to get if from America, but I now have my grubby mitts on a permanent copy.  :)

Remind me of a funny thing I heard on the radio: a Mick Jagger solo album released sometime in the 80s or 90s sold 48 copies world wide.

Debbie Dean Itsy Bity Pity Love (1961)

A light C&W song written by two of Motown's standard songwriters from the period, Janie Bradford and Popcorn Wylie.  Debbie gives it her best shot, but I doubt even Patsy Cline could have made this one work.  The B side But I'm Afraid is much better.  That's none other than Berry Gordy on cowbell.

Dean would go on to have one more single with Motown before being dropped from the label.  Motown was marketing themselves the sound of young America and Debbie was, at age 34, well, not quite the image they were looking for.  She'd eventually return as a songwriter.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

the B52's 'Cosmic Thing' - don't recall the album being this average, guess I only ever used to play at high volume at party or two and so confusing the experience with the music. 

edit:
I don't know what  I was thinking, after have listened to all of it, it's a rather good album, I may just have a rather unimaginatively mixed CD.

I've heard it once a week for the last 12 years.

It's a karaoke standard.  Can't do much about it.
