This gets played a fair bit during the summer months whilst we're off on family hol's touring about like a band of gypsies in the transit.

"Fairground" by Simply Red was number one on the charts on September 29th 1995. Like my driving, a song which has got a lot better with age

I equipped my first car (1972 Mini 1275 GT) with a Sanyo radio cassette wired up to an Audioline graphic equalizer.The most played tape was the first album by Tubeway army and this track was always listened to really loud http://youtu.be/LbQYtXdIk7I not only because it is a cracking tune but also the little green and red lights of the equalizer danced left and right as the song faded in and out at the end.

 

That's a brilliant album, which I consider has been unfairly overlooked in favour of Numan's later work. The same goes for the Human League's first two albums, which are utterly superb.

Number 1 when I passed?

 

Enya - Orinoco Flow. Didn't remember until I looked it up, then it came flooding back how much I heard it around that time!

 

Sail away, sail away sail away........

IIRC the song was used extensively by Toyota on their adverts.
