Harold Melvin is the current king of I Am Not The Beatles, beating those scamps Apple Mosaic and the lovely Sonya Grier by mere pennies.
We also currently have a staggering seven people at the other end of the table who all released records that I would actually have to pay somebody to take away.
Stand up to be counted : Boys Don’t Cry, Jean Beauvoir, Latin Quarter, Hue and Cry, Georgio, Southside Johnny and the Dukes and Light A Big Fire (although I must take my fair share of the blame for the latter two…)
