I wonder what position Xanadu would have reached if ONJ wasn't involved? We know what it sounds like with Jeff singing it but I doubt it would have reached the top spot. Top 10 at best I guess ... If I’m honest I think top 20, they had so many better hits that deserved to be number one. Mind you the 70s and 80s had some strange songs that made number one, I could give you a list.....

Obviously the song by Jeff would have had an early '80's vibe to it as opposed to what we know now, so how that would have sounded is anyone's guess. They were still a top name so sales were assured but no1? nah....

Xanadu is an interesting song, I think. I always feel the vibe is a bit Rose Garden, happily strutting along in mid-tempo.

I wonder if there are any early demos of Xanadu anywhere.

I wonder if there are any early demos of Xanadu anywhere. It seems to be the forgotten album, no anniversary edition or remastered version with bonus tracks like the others. Might have been a few demos on that or even an unreleased track.
