David Essex: "Oh What a Circus" Single (1978)

David Essex’s "Oh What a Circus" backed with "High Flying, Adored", was released as a 7-inch vinyl single in the UK by Mercury Records (catalog number 6007 174) on August 4, 1978.

Both tracks are from the musical Evita by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, where Essex played the character Che in the original 1978 London production.

The single was a commercial success, reaching 3 on the UK Singles Chart, 29 in Belgium, and 26 in the Netherlands. It marked a comeback for Essex after a string of less successful singles, revitalizing his career following a split with CBS Records.
