Radio Days.

[Nai Noswad]

Sure do Trevor..think my mate Frands told me earlier this year.
My Radio Recalls are not all rock,thrash and roll:

The New Vaudville Band - Winchester Cathedral.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Macca's Brother here...a classic trannie tune.

The Scaffold - Thank U Very Much.

 

[Nai Noswad]

The Rutles began here...

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - I'm The Urban Spaceman.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Before he hid in the kitchen at parties...or stopped the cavalry.

Terry Dactyl And The Dinosaurs - Seaside Shuffle.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Amongst the musical wallpaper .glimmers of gold did shine thru'...

Status Quo - Caroline.

This was every kids anthem ..i was 13 or so.

Alice Cooper - Schools Out.

Overend Watts blew us all away!

Mott The Hoople - All The Way From Memphis.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Daytime Radio...or Dentist Radio i used to call it. One up from lift muzac- before Brian Eno made it trendy.

Dawn - Knock Three Times.

Didn't mind toetappers like this.

Tom Jones - She's A Lady.

When Cher looked like....well Cher .

Cher - Gypsys, Tramps And Thieves.

Seems a million years ago for me..or a centre parting and 135 pound!

Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi.

 

[Nai Noswad]

Trojan Explosion via the Tighten Up albums..projected light reggae into our homes.

Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now.

This was catchy...

Dandy Livingstone - Suzanne Beware Of The Devil.

Real or 'True' wasn't getting airplay..these tunes take me back to Cathedral Hall Discos of a Saturday night..skank to this and then sneak out for a drag of Marlboro or a roll up.

The Pioneers - Let Your Yeah Be Yeah

 

[Nai Noswad]

Marc was right up my alley.
His EMI singles with their own sleeves attracted my pocket money from Woolworths.

T.Rex - Metal Guru.

Glam and camp...this and other bands battled the dreaded Jacksons & Osmonds..not to mention The Partridge Family!

The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz.

These were at the top of the pile..ex skinhead outfit( Ambrose Slade.)...then with the xmas hit -these became as British as tea and crumpets.

Slade - Mama Weer All Crazy Now.

As heard on your local AM radio dial

 

[Frands]

Keith West/Excerp from a Teenage Opera/1967

The Heard/From the Underworld

Scott McKenzie/San Francisco/1967
One of my favorite songs that year, although I was not that happy about the title of the song at that time(You can't guess why)
