Isn’t it funny? At 69 years of age and about 60 years since most of these “old” rock’n’roll records were released, I still think - “too old fashioned” - music my sister would have liked (she was three years older than me). The only exception I would make is Johnny Kidd and the Pirates - I loved them, especially…

which, ironically helped me get over being dumped by my first serious girlfriend at the tender age of 15 in 1963.
Although my music tastes are very wide ranged I always feel I missed out on a couple of great era’s in music when I listen to Rock or Swing. I actually only started collecting and listening seriously to music in the early 70s.
But similar to you Mick I had my sisters memory’s of that time.
Infact when 2 of them passed I got their music collections and it does fetch back a lot of memorys when they used to pull me about in the parlour doing all their dancing moves and I was their rag doll partner who had no bloody idea what I was doing.
HaHa - I remember that experience only too well. It didn’t help that I was madly in love with my sister’s friend Jackie so although I hated dancing, I would drop anything to be her partner.
Incidentally, “What do you want?” was the first record I ever bought!
