Ipcress file - Sunday 13/3/22

[Vadnochka]

Another WTF moments as Charles Sheffield - Voodoo working comes out into my living room as the new drama pans across early 60's London street's - presume others had the same experience.

I couldn’t believe it either.

Why ever not , anyone would think that these recordings were only to be heard by members of some sad secret society FFS ....

I was surprised to hear it! Apart from it's popularity on the Northern scene, or whatever it wants to be called these days, it's a very obscure record and not one I would expect to hear on a main stream programme!

I have heard it played as background on some usa mainstream shows before

plus memory says there's a  few recent cover versions  knocking around

Would guess that in recent years it's picked up mainstream plays for halloween/occult radio/msm type purposes thru online services like Spotify rather than vinyl discovery

First episode had the Rock-A Teens original version of Woo Hoo - as covered by the 5,6,7,8's in Kill Bill.

Everything is available on compilations, spotify playlists etc so it's not hard to search for cool early 60s tunes if you're a switched on person looking for interesting songs for background music.
