I bought this months ago when I saw it for sale about the same time as a white vinyl cop of clog dance. Just got around to listening to it - would the kindest thing be to say clog dance is a good track ?

Thought this song from the next album deserved to make the charts....

He is the son of Johnny Burnette who had a big hit with You're Sixteen in 1960. Incidentally,this song was released in 1979 around the same time as Silent Love...

Only realised today that the Ringo Starr song was a cover after a listen on You Tube I think Silent love would have been a hit but there was a problem with the record not being available in the shops, a shame for song writer Mike De Albuquerque.

It's a catchy song and it did get airplay as someone else mentioned on another thread. The gods weren't playing the game that day...

If it was a problem with distribution, I wonder why x amount of copies weren't sent out with ELO records as they had no problem back in 1979...

The pressing plant that dealt with Jet could easily have pressed them and sent them out with ELO's current offering.
