Choose your favourite and then tune to Russe Vinyl Countdown tomorrow at 8.00 to hear the result, along with the chart from this week in 1978!

Ok here we go with the Fantasy Record Shop for Monday night’s show.
It’s February 1978 and it snowed for ages (I suspect) so when you went into town for your BHS cuppa and cheese scone (just me then?) what did you, or would you have, spend that precious pound on? Tough one here
Queen-Spread Your Wings
Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street
Kate Bush-Wuthering Heights
Blondie-Denis
