Nils' Single releases

Although Nils has never had that 'hit single', listed below are the singles he has released over the years - many of which certainly deserved to be 'hits' .  If you know of singles not listed please email me.  Some covers are THUMBNAILS for a larger image.  Singles in my own collection are listed in beige.  All singles are UK releases unless stated otherwise.
