Songs From Your Youth

Mother bought in a Fidelity record player which was all Le Rage back in the day.A square box of delight crackling out the pop hits with stylus permitting.Mark Bolan and the T-Rex graced it's form although I have to say Right Here Right Now a right regal fook off to that Billie Elliot !

My teenage years.....kin'ell, the twilight of the teddy-boy era, Elvis, Bill Haley, Tony Newley, Tommy Steele, this was when pop music was controlled by record labels and "impresarios" who would sign "turns" , give them a catchy name (Billy Fury, Marty Wild, Adam Faith et al ) tell them what to wear and when and what to play/sing. The mersey sound swept in with great sing-alongs, but I was by then a Motown fan, Sam Cooke Jackie Wilson, Temptations in fact loads of greats. Belle Vue speedway was a great platform for songs like "Bits and Pieces", "I wanna hold your hand", Love me Do", the juke-boxes in Skyways and the Ranch was heavily stocked with Stones' tracks like Brown Sugar, Honky-tonk women; Dave Edmunds, Twinkle . Live music was cheap, plentiful and available due to the sheer number of venues, £1 to see the Big O at the Odeon, support act was the Stones !!. St Bernardets' on Princess rd had the Hollies, and Freddy and the Dreamers were regulars. The Princess club was part of Moss Empires, had many great acts, a stand-out for me being Marianne Faithful (kin gorgeous before the drugs and mars bar episode) . Many of my mates turned away from pop, Dylan, folk, Clapton, psychedelic blah blah and i gradually lost interest. Old age does that, bastard....
