No sleep til bedtime etc. Not very nice for the kids who had stutters at my school at the time I seem to remember

Morris and the Minors wasn't it?

The lead 'singer' writes travel books now or so I remember hearing on Radio 2.
Tony Hawks or something. Same name as that famous skateboarder who endorsed some Playstation games.

^ yep, I think that's the one....

pretty sure it was "eye of the tiger" oh dear!

My first LP was 'slippery when wet' but that's for another thread...

Saw this band in 1978 at the Cotton Bowl, Dallas supporting a great English Band, Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie Nicks had a panic attack on stage but it was a great day altogether.
Steve Miller band ..... yeah, top stuff.
Everybody, except me and my girlfriend, was openly smoking weed, never forget it.

Was that the Tusk tour?

Fleetwood Mac fantastic got all their autographs when they played Birmingham NEC ,
they stayed at the Newhall Hotel a new Hotel i was last Electrician on site after the build and when i asked they bought me a drink and gave me two 10x8 pics signed, i was over the moon, sitting out side in the garden with my heroes.

The first single I ever bought was about 23-25 years old, a real babe with pert little titties and an arse that wouldn't quit.
I wonder what she's doing now?

dynomite =cliff richard
but got a bad feeling it mite been something from mantovarni & his orchestra,
keep that to myself though

Not me, but got my Mom to buy it...the Sukiyaki Song by Sakamoto Ryu. She says I was crazy about it. I was reporting with Yomiuri Shimbun in Osaka when the Japan Airlines jumbo crashed in 1985 -- Sakamoto was on the flight.

had the luxury of a brother working in UK radio; used to send me packages (NZ) of demo singles from the radio station.
So I wasn't buying them; most memorable was one pack that contained God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols and Exodus by Bob Marley.
I chose punk. But Bob's still the man:

Showing age now.

Honeycomb by Jimmie Rogers - was no 1 in the UK at the time

Purple People Eater. I have no f**king idea who recorded it.

^Same folks who did "Itsy, Bitsy, Teeny, Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, I think. No idea who.

I'm wrong. Sheb Wooley recorded Purple People Eater. Bikini was a different group.

Not a single, I bought the LP the next day after I got my own turntable for Xmas

It was "School's out" by Alice Cooper

Dave Clarke 5

Bits and pieces.

I hope you still have it God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols am right in saying it could be 1 of the most expensive collectors item, I'm trying to find where I read it only the other day

Masters Apprentices : Turn Up Your Radio 1970
