Do you have all those Rocket Mick? our release dates are weak are either years or months ;) No i actually ONLY quoted the date it FIRST entered the charts via THE BRITISH HIT SINGLES.The problem with the ACTUAL release dates are that even MY promos (especially CDs) have the WRONG release dates due to the fact that almost everyone of them was CHANGED.I doubt anyone even those who worked at FACTORY could actually give all the TRUE relevant dates.I did buy alot on day of release but never thought to jot down the dates.Maybe though ANDREW MORRISON or some of the others who have BRILLIANT notes of song timings etc have also got these required dates.Unlike nowadays when usually a record enters the CHART in the first week AFTER release back in the 80's it could take a few weeks.Therefore it would not be accurate just to take these CHART entry dates and go back to the PREVIOUS THURSDAY(back then) or MONDAY(these days) and determine the release date.Sorry i cannot help anymore!:D Rocket Mick

Still no-one has got it. Think Republic....
