Holiday 1983

Release Date Chart Position Weeks on chart
US billboard October 1983 16 21
UK January 1984 6 11

Her third single in the UK and a well deserved hit record. Produced by then boyfriend Jellybean.

Released in the UK -

  1. 7" W9405 Holiday edit / Think of me (red border with Madonna & chains p/s) Value £15
  2. 12" W9405T Holiday full length version / Think of me (Train & couple p/s) Value £10-£12

The 12" 'train & couple' picture sleeve was then used for the re-issue 1985 Holiday 7" in the UK. Thus making the original 'red border & chains' sleeve quite a gem to track down. Always a firm fan favourite and usually performed differently on every tour.

Items from my personal collection.
