Shortest intro Martyn? Ketty has to be the shortest in it's entirety.... what, 1 min 45 is it, i know of none shorter.

Not a favourite of mine, but what an intro......

 

 

[manusf3a 1,401]

A really good intro is one that "Just as you thought you were out!" had danced enough and are heading off to sit down,it pulls you back in "0n to the dance floor", "Away from conversations",and back in from outside where youve been having a fag and a verbal!.

I've always loved the start to this. First heard it about 50 years ago! My cousin had taped it on his reel to reel tape recorder that he'd just had for xmas and was raving about 'this great record'

A local boxer ex British Champion Johnny Prescott had it played at his funeral a couple of years ago. I thought it was so apt. Ade
