Funny How - 12 inch mix - Airhead (1991)
Переглядів 2148 місяців тому
One of my favourite songs from the early 90s this is the rare 12" mix that contains 2 samples from the Beatles film 'Yellow Submarine'. As far as I know, this version has never been released on CD and is unavailable anywhere to buy unless you find a 2nd hand 12" vinyl. I've been after this version for years as a digital file, as it was the version I played the most back in the day. Thanks to Ha...

Iggy's Brontosaurus Birthday Song by Mark Jones
Переглядів 136Рік тому
In 2011 I recorded this ridiculous song to celebrate Iggy Rose's birthday and sent it to her. Back in 1969 Iggy knew ex-Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett & was featured on the photos used for the cover for his 'Madcap Laughs' album, issued 3 January 1970. I spoke to Iggy every now & again on Facebook and once, while I was at Libby Gausden's house, on the phone. She sounded delightful but I never...

Me on Radio Luxembourg Tuesday 11th January 1983 requesting a song by The Beatles
Переглядів 193Рік тому
In 1983 I was (and still am) a massive fan of The Beatles. One way to hear songs I hadn't yet got copies of was to listen to Radio Luxembourg on Tuesday nights between 6:45 and 7:45pm as they had a Beatles Hour on. This day I thought I'd ring up and see if I could get through. I did and went live on the radio and wished my Mum a happy birthday (33!) Luckily I had the fore thought to press recor...

This is from the 'So Far Out It's Straight Down' documentary but with the intrusive voiceover removed using AI software. While the result is far from perfect (the recording is just a mono televsion soundtrack from 1967 and goes quiter where the voiceover was) you can at least hear the music that was previously obscured by the chatter a bit easier. The voiceover is so loud that it nearly hides A...
Dogs playing together - Part 7

Various clips from 2017 to 2022 including Monty (19 April 2013 - 3 March 2021 RIP). Monty looks like a fox, Lennon is the darkest dog, Jasper is the Border Collie & Duggie is the Shih Tzu. From 1:25 to 1:55 you can see how Monty used to let Lennon in from the garden himself. Lennon would knock on the back door & Monty could come down & open the door for him. It's super cute!

    The kid says he made 8 grand a year, if I heard right. In 1980, the average UK salary was 6000 GBP/yr, and this was 8 years later, in 88. Doesn't seem lot a lot of money, other than the fact that he's only 17-18 (he's worked there for 1.5yrs and answers affirmatively that he was around 16 when he left home, when asked that immediately after saying how long he's worked there).
