Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

And I've already said '..to Hell with the salt, lemon and lime'

I call that fair warnin.

From 8 'viewers' to 2 in just 3 clips.

I still got it.

DISCO!!!!!

Let's go....

Apart from the progenitors (Roxy/Bowie)...almost all of 'glam-rock' was like a shite 50s revival night in a social club attached to some God-forsaken caravan site on the bleak, wind-lashed coast of South Ayrshire.

...







(Other childhood memories are available... please check local suppliers for details)

Mr Wood however.... is protected under the National Treasure Act of 1973.

And quite fukkin right too.

Maybe this>>>>>> ????

surely this>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Maybe more punk than glam?

Gawd bless ye Gladders.

The big-yukk that escaped my body on seeing the legend 'Jobriath' is the first proper laff I've had in a fukkin age man.

(Prolly since I first heard him perform in fact )

He was to glam what Duffo's 'Give Me Back Me Brain' was to Ye Punke.

Vis-a-vis the bopping elf....

Doesn't he sing "...and meanwhile.... ah'm still thinkin" on the fade of that track?

Ah mean... ye can't get any more 50s than Chuck Berry's Little Queenie can ya?

The Dolls are sacrosnact... obviously

Actually Obi-Glad, you're my only hope on this one I reckon.

Blue Mink - Time for Living.

I'd been hunting for it a long time ever since I happened across a shite 70s potboiler of a film with Malcolm McDowell and Nanette Newman called The Raging Moon. BM played over the opening title sequence with this song.

It's a ripe piece of cheese certainly, but there's summat lovely about it. Sounds like a Cook/Greenaway effort.

God bless Spotify!

D'ye remember it?

Recently 'upped' to The Holy Ground.

Or You Tube if ye prefer.

Weird atmos on here tonight ...

Turgid...

Tuhrrrropical...





'She refused to begin the beguine'

Immo, Blue Mink - Time for Living...You mean Time for Winning eh'm sure! I've got that somewhere: do you want it as an mp3?

Yes please.

Jobriath's song's fantastic: 1974's only 14 years later than the fifties after all.

Tomorrow for the Blue Minks. Well named, eh?

Ooooft!

That's a beaut man.

There's a world of joy to be had from rifflin through DB's back catalolgue.



PS

I'm a bit touchy about the numbers 5 and 0 in close proximity atm. Seein as how I'm due to hit the ole half-century this April.

Well, young man, the alternative's death.

Yeah yeah...

I've got the 'moanin about turnin 30' crowd at work on the same pay-no-mind list an'all.

I'm sure I'll manage to face fifty fearlessly Glad.



Another curio... an oddity... or odd ditty... if ye prefer.

Perfect for this most venerable of pubs boards anyhow.

Ok pop music... let's go.

One for the kids...

Lead singer of MJ, Ray Dorset, shares the distinction (along with David Essex and Lindsey Buckingham) of being the only English-County-monickered popsters to make the UK charts...

...apart from Donna Somerset.

Obviously.

Stampeding rhinos?

Elephants??

Tacky tigers???

Oh my...

If yer gony open a gig with 'Hello Hello', you've either got to be...

... the R(elle)verend Ian Paisley (he's a big fellah )


...or a copper-bottomed genius.

God Bless The Paul

Hugh Cornwell? Alan Lancaster?Judith Durham? Mersey (beats)? Nottingham Forest?

And so on...........................................

I'm off. Night for now: see, some of us get up before noon.

I reckon that Squawk Mulligan's started waterin down his tay-keela.



I'm fulla helium

Nitey nite Gee.

Cheers for the choons and the company.

... then, with a whiff of Scrogsworth's Old Peculier and a helium-voiced Bowie cover... he was gone!

Who was that pyshed masked man?

<shrugs>

...Todd knows.
