Replace your 3 -hit sticker with new 4-hit sticker from Buddah. But don't glue it on too ticrhtlv.
Remember the smash album, "Brooklyn Bridge" (BDS 5034)? Well, as we've taken songs from that album, and made them into hit singles, we've been supplying you with stickers that say, "Including..." And we go on to list the hits. The latest sticker reads, "Including Worst That Could Happen, Welcome Me Love, Blessed Is the Rain and Free as the Wind." "Free as the Wind" (BDA 162)is Brooklyn Bridge's latest hit single. But a word of advice Don't glue on your new 4-hit sticker too tightly. There are 11 songs on the Brooklyn Bridge album.
