BOS Blondie - The Tide is High.  For some reason I *really* like this song... sort of like pop music cotton candy to my ears.
Now I'm eight bits...

BTW: 38 Special's "Hold On Loosely" "Caught Up In You" and "Wild Eyed Southern Boys" all co-written by Jim Peterik, who was in Ides of March (wrote and sang their hit "Vehicle" in '70) and in Survivor; co-wrote their hits "Eye of the Tiger" theme from Rocky III (6 weeks at #1 in '82) and "Burning Heart", used as Rocky IV theme in '85.

wow -- a gaz-less, urth-less, shray-less, Ali-less, me-less 10@10!  Hooray for yessongs and Wayback! 

Pretty standard-issue Morey, tho' -- the closest to a rarity, it seems, are the Armatrading (a Ginger fave) and the U2. But I can't get the shraytabase to work here at home, so I'm guesstimating. 
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
