The Thunderbird
Singles – 1975-78
This webpage is an exclusive accompaniment to the two CD Thunderbird Compilations, "The A Sides" and "The B Sides." Since we weren't able to list all of the with writing and publishing information on the actual CD's, we'd like to do it all here.
Across the top of each of the 31 listings is the number in order of release, the group who performed the song, the release date, the label number, the composers and the publishers. Under that we list the recording information as well as the artists on the track. Thunderbird could have released more than 31 singles, but in almost four years of research, we have been able to prove at least 31. The albums will be listed below this list, and below that will be the speculated singles and albums that were planned but not released.
