    The Firm Star Trekkin' Vs Olivia Newton John and Electric Light Orchestra Xanadu - ABSTAIN
    Bucks Fizz The Land of Make Believe
    Kylie Minogue The Locomotion - Had to google the Jackie Wilson song, never heard of it, but it was originally recorded in the 50s, so that settles it.
    The Communards Don't Leave Me This Way - too early to lose either of them, draw is a b***h sometimes.

    Doesn't ring a bell at all Strawbs. It seems the reissue was around the time I started to listen to music, but I guess it was never a big hit in Greece and it has that 50s sound that wouldn't appeal to me at the time, so it must have been completely off my radar.
