Originally released on 15th October 1976, 2026 marks the 50th Anniversary of Showaddywaddy’s MILLION-SELLING #1 hit single…‘Under The Moon Of Love’.

This strictly Limited Edition 7” colour vinyl celebrates this anniversary.

Remarkably, ‘Under The Moon Of Love’ was their ninth chart single and their 4th Top 10 in just two-and-a-half years.The non-Studio Album single was included in the Platinum-selling December 1976 “Greatest Hits” album and reached #4 in the UK Albums Chart.

The single knocked-off Chicago’s ‘If You Leave Me Now’, from the #1 spot and held-off Queen ‘Somebody To Love and Abba ‘Money Money Money’ from the top of the chart but eventually succumbed to Johnny Mathis’ seasonal hit, ‘When A Child Is Born’ for the coveted Christmas 1976 #1 Single.

Showaddywaddy first burst onto the scene by appearing on the early-1970s version of “Britain’s Got Talent”, “New Faces” winning one heat, in November 1973, and were runners-up in the “All Winners Final”, which was broadcast on 28th December 1973.

Less than a year later, they had a Christmas hit after a successful 1974, which continued throughout the decade, with Showaddywaddy ultimately being crowned as the Band/Artist with the most UK hits in the 1970s than any other act.
