I thought I\u2019d better check that I\u2019d remembered The Sisters chart position correctly, so I went online to look at the UK album charts from 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was pleased to see my memory was as keen as ever \u2013 there we were in March \u201885 a new entry at number 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What amazed me was looking at who else was in the chart that week. It reads almost like a who\u2019s who of 80\u2019s acts. Phil Collins, Prince, Springsteen, Madonna, Wham, Sade, Alison Moyet, Meatloaf, Tina Turner\u2026\u2026 you don\u2019t always pause to fully appreciate things when you\u2019re slap bang in the middle of it all.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not bad for a kid from Chestnut Avenue.
