Under your thumb - Godley and Creme

After having been in 10CC for years, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme left the band to pursue other musical interests. They released seven albums as a duo, of which 'Ismism' (1981) was their fourth. It contained the single 'Under your thumb', which was their biggest hit in the UK, peaking at number 3. In the Netherlands, it did worse than previous single 'An Englishman in New York', whcih reached number 3 in the previous year (but did not chart in the UK!), but this single still peaked at a respectable number 18.

My collection: 7" single no. 593
Found: All that music, Leiden, February 16, 1988
Cost: 3 guilders
Tracks: 'Under your thumb' / 'Power behind the throne'
