First record I went into a shop and bought myself. The other side image on the label is burned into my mind. Great other tune as well.

recognition at last
Sometimes you need to just sit your ass down a realize that The Undertones are one of the best bands of all time.

And Mickey's unique style of keyboard playing influenced generations.

And to end , it's Bob at the piano.
Raining In My Heart - another Boudleaux Bryant tune.
No singing, no crying, just the notes, black and white.
Merci Boudleaux.

Emmylou and Gram. Happier times. It was sunny , for one thing.
Jim Capaldi fans look away.... Gram and Emmylou did the best cover version of Love Hurts.
Nothing beats Don and Phil, of course. But it's a different song on Grievous Angel.
Now on the MBRS

I know I'm usually 100mph and distorted guitars, but I'm also SO girl groups of the '60s. This is fabulous.

My new favourite Shetland group. Middle Class Guilt.
Hats off to dancing king Joseph Morgan for the video of their new smash 'Edinburgh'.
Hear the song here.

More Orchids. The 1960s Coventry girl group.
Also known as The Blue Orchids. I am sure Martin Bramah is fed up hearing that.
Ooh Chang A Lang*, from this brilliant compilation, now on the MBRS.

Friday 13th the MBRS is playing Superstition, to ward off any malevolent spirits.
And also to remember the genius of Stevland.
Praise him while he's with us. And behold his style.

There's a joke somewhere about remembering the Strawberry Alarm Clock but it'll have to wait because their new record is great. As heard on the MB Record Show, courtesy of Big Stir records. Pure Pop For Now People.

Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was released this day in 1967.
Recording it looked like a pleasurable experience.
Take 26 of Strawberry FF, the sprightly version, is now on the MBRS.
Johnny sounds himself on it, too.

AAAAHHHH!!
Yes, Kosher Pickle Harry's favourite group.
And Herbert's too.
Farmer John, from The Premiers, a faux fake recording, is on the brilliant new Steppin' Out box from Cherry Red.

The Rain Parade. They had at least one know-it-all, like all the best groups do.
The title song of the It Can't Be Today box set is on the MB Record Show.

The accompanying number two in the charts this week in 1982.
Do not let familiarity breed contempt ...
It's still the best thing they ever did. *

Polka Dot AND Check! The young Weller was truly a pop rebel.
A Town Called Malice was number one in our hearts (and in the charts) this week in 1982.
Now on the MB Record Show.

Any one else watching the clips of PW talking about the early days of The Jam? They're brilliant.
