Dana – Who Put The Lights Out / Always A Few Things (1971 UK Rex 7" 45rpm Mono Single)
New!
Description
Released in 1971 on the Rex label under catalogue number R.11062, this 7‑inch single captures Dana during the early years of her chart success, following closely on the heels of her Eurovision breakthrough. The A‑side, Who Put The Lights Out, written by Paul Ryan, is delivered in Dana’s clear, melodic vocal style, blending gentle pop balladry with the light, radio‑friendly charm that defined much of her early‑seventies output. Its warm arrangement and memorable chorus helped the song become a familiar favourite of the period.
The B‑side, Always A Few Things, written by Selman, offers a softer, more reflective contrast, showcasing Dana’s ability to carry a quieter, more intimate melody. Pressed in mono at 45rpm and issued in the UK, the single sits firmly within the Pop / Vocal / Ballad tradition of the early seventies and remains a pleasing collectible for fans of Dana’s early work and those who appreciate the gentle, melodic pop of the era.
