another artist whose music was great. times that will never come back .
Another was Sandy Nelson and teen beat he managed to keep the rythm going even through drum changes.Very few managed it as well as he did. even after he lost a leg in a motoring accident
those who never lived in that era have no idea of the impact it had on the music scene. Some radio disc jockies refused to play it and parts of the USA banned it. no matter the artist it was always the beat that won through every time
buddy holly some of his hits n cluding “not fade awsay” with the BO D beat
My first LP was the Grease double album, when I was in the first year of secondary school, I asked my parents to buy it for me after my dad had taken me to the cinema to see the film.
The first single I bought was Cliff Richard’s “A Girl Like You”. I can’t remember the first LP but it might have been “GI Blues”.
Prior to that I used to ask my old man for a record and he would buy the Embassy cover from Woolworths. It used to make me so cross but he insisted it sounded exactly the same, tight bastard.
How Can I Be Sure by David Cassidy when I was a kid.
This came to light during a train trip home from Peterborough after an away game with some fellow footie fans. I had the mick taken out of me, drink had been taken, these footie fans!
As far as my first LP is concerned I have no doubt it would have been one of the Pickwick Top of The Pops jobs. I have no idea which one but there were plenty available in Woolworths at pocket money prices.
I bought a cheapo LP frame and put one on the wall as a bit of 70s nostalgia
