Don't Go Breaking My Heart

[10ClarionSt]

When I bought this single back in the 70's, the 'B' side had a song called Amoureuse, by Kiki Dee. However, the label on both sides said Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Before I played the 'B' side, I thought it might just have been an instrumental of the 'A' side, but nope. Twas Kiki Dee singing Amoureuse. Odd dont you think? Production error perhaps?

Perhaps you're in possession of a "Collectors' Item" and need to put it on Ebay for a vast sum of money.

[10ClarionSt]

Nah. Don't think so. Curiosity value, more like.

I couldn't if I tried ...:0)

[10ClarionSt]

Well, nobody knows it do they?

as released in 1976, the B-side was "Snow Queen", a song allegedly inspired by Cher.

[10ClarionSt]

Not on this one mushroom. It's definitely Amoureuse, labelled as DGBMH.

But Clarion, Right from the start, I gave you me heart :0(

I have a similarly mislabelled single by a different artist. If you look closely at the edge of the record there's an etching of numbers. The A side will have a different number to the B side.

Not uncommon, according to Record Collector. Mine isn't on their list of valuable examples.

Whatever the case may be, you're lucky as Amoureuse is a stunning song. The original French language version by Veronique Sanson is lovely too.

[10ClarionSt]

No Bob, that looks like it was released in Australia. I definitely bought it in the 70's, for
