Kev great post Love the guys dancing with jackets on , that funny head shake thing they do, tie clips, and some of there moves / dance - well worth watching - the presenter was very cringe worthy

Back in the 70t's if you took this LP round a girls (over 16) house 100% , you would let them - top shagging record - however it doesn't beat the top top shagging record of MG and DR
Dean - was there up on the balcony near the top on the circular stairs - he came on from the right hand side of the stage and slid with the sax 🎷- was on the Aldershot coach- where the driver use to dance some of the night away - yes really - good times great gear.
Great picture - before and after - keep taking the tablets guys lol
Took me ages to find it as it was in my dont play very often pile - probably about 35 years ago - anyway now back in my play box , forgot how about three quarters through the rest of the orchestra wakes up - stamp mark both sides looks like the MR stamp circle without the MR in it - see the pics
Crying over you - Andy / Did the Duke get any royalties from the grapevine pressing - just out of curiosity - any history who found the record, who first played it - epitome of Northern Soul - beat, rare, clapping bit, spinning bit, unbeatable start and soulful - Legend much respect.
Maryam - I notice that the Gucci DJ looks like he's used anything he can get his hands on
Would love to see them all on strychnine blues only a couple each - then watch them go - now that would be worth filming, especially when the music stops and they can't stand still.
Long time ago - hitched a lift from Sheffield station on my own - two girls pull up in a vw bug one jumps in the back - can't remember how We got round to it but said ain't you scared of the Yorkshire ripper , with that the girl in the back pulled out a claw hammer from under the seats and said no we have this - they dropped me off at the roundabout just outside town. So am walking through town where's Clifton hall I ask two old bill, up the hill / what's in your bag / they search the bag and find some Mogadom caps 50 - they take me to the police station count the caps out on the table - put them back in the bottle then said there's 60 in there if we see you in the morning we're count them again and there needs to be 50 - I said I might have one in the morning they said ok 49. cliffton hall had steel posts around the dance floor must have been supporting a small balcony or something am sure - shit long time ago See the guys in pics behind them steel posts and other pic balcony/ am not going mad
Would have thought they would have got the piano down the side alley (it slopes down) and up 2 flights of stairs onto the same level as the dance floor - then lifted it up onto the stage - if your standing with the record bar behind you it would have been right hand side of the stage.
First met Mick back in 77/78 when Ken Cox was running the Wirrina before he went to the fleet - got on the train at London I guess after reading the thread Chris was with him - he was still in the RAF - after chatting to him I asked what he did - am sure he said signals - I then said what do you do - "can't tell you as we've signed the official secrets act " - the rest of the trip was taken up we me asking for just one secret even a small one - am sure he told me something just to shut me up - it passed the time - Saw Mick a few times after that at the Fleet nighters and St Ives Dayers we always talked about how we first met, remember his golf dark green I think - one of the good Soul guys RIP Mick.
mines the same as this big instrumental sound about 77 / 1978 - brought mine back then - then it just never got played
Always told the wife to play this one - she even has it up on the pin board in the kitchen - the words are very true for me - "because of you"
The music pioneer was 90 years old and although he didn’t invent Rock n Roll all alone, he had quite an influence on every artist from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen during his amazing career. He was the ‘whole package’ in the 50s rock world because he could write great songs as well as sing and play guitar (just like he was ringing a bell). Thinking about his library a bit more, I realize that Chuck sang about cars as a major story element in the majority of his hot songs. I remember “You Can’t Catch Me” for the catchy rhythm and hot rod lyrics: New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours I was rollin’ slowly ’cause of drizzlin’ showers Here come a flat-top, he was movin’ up with me Then come wavin’ goodbye in a little’ old souped-up jitney I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll Moanin’ siren, ’twas the State Patrol… This is poetry, my friends. Nobody writes songs about driving cars like this anymore. How about ‘No Particular Place To Go’: Riding along in my automobile My baby beside me at the wheel I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile My curiosity runnin’ wild Crusin’ and playin’ the radio With no particular place to go… Lastly, I offer you the lyrics to ‘Maybellene’ and the frustrations of a Flathead Ford chasing down a Caddy: As I was motivatin’ over the hill I saw Mabellene in a Coupe de Ville A Cadillac a rollin’ on the open road Nothin’ will outrun my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin’ about ninety-five She’s bumper to bumper, rollin’ side by side The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford The Ford got hot and wouldn’t do no more It then got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for a passin’ lane The rainwater blowin’ all under my hood I know that I was doin’ my motor good The motor cooled down the heat went down And that’s when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a sittin’ like a ton of lead A hundred and ten half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin’ like it’s sittin’ still And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill Maybellene, why can’t you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can’t you be true? You’ve started back doing the things you used to do. I could go on with songs like “No Money Down” (the follow up to Maybellene), “Jaguar and Thunderbird’, and ‘I Want To Be Your Driver’.
