They probably would all have been in the Top 200 when they were re-issued in 1976, but then that was hardly their heyday was it? And what about The Jam having 13 singles in the Top 75 in 1983?<BR/><BR/>Apparently the actual reason this has happened is because iTunes only had it available track-by-track initially. As it's obviously better value to buy the whole thing, I guess this is mainly a test of how stupid iTunes users are, but you still wouldn't think HMV would want to draw attention to it.Chris Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062680121301021165noreply@blogger.com
