Britten's multi-layered guitars featured on Alvin Stardust's 1973 hit "My Coo Ca Choo".

[11] In the early 1980s, Britten's psychedelic rock song, "9.50", originally a hit for The Twilights, was revived by Australia's Divinyls as a b-side to their 1984 single, "Good Die Young".

[17] Britten has also penned songs for Olivia Newton-John, including "Love Make Me Strong" (1981)[18] and "Toughen Up" with Graham Lyle (1985).
