Got a 10/- record token for Christmas, 1963. Singles cost 6/8, so I needed to get something else. No idea what to get, so my mum asked the man in the shop for a suggestion. Ended up with Be My Baby by the Ronettes.

Now playing. This is so good. Every bit as good as Disgraceful, but it doesn't even warrant a Wikipedia page.

Well, I guess we do this one next. Seem to remember Oldfield's guitar solo at the end was rather lovely.

Finally got round to reading this excellent collection (courtesy of one of the National Trust's 2nd hand bookshops) and - given the numerous appearances of @nicholasroyle.bsky.social in the acknowledgements - was very pleased to find not one but two INCLUSIONS. Plus a mobile phone number!

Y'know, I don't think I'm ever going to be able to afford this one, lads. Wonder if they'll accept an offer?

Haven't done this for a while, but it's nice to see that Archie and Pie can still be top of their class, almost seven years on from publication. Quite a small class, but still...

I see people are posting pictures of their old posters. Well, here's a corner of my bedroom at home in the mid 70s. That wallpaper predates Father Ted's bathroom, BTW. 4-track mono Grundig also thrown in for good measure.

Anyway, today I'll probably be listening to the three different stereo versions in the 2010 box set. Plus possibly the 5.1 version tonight.
