I also missed out Mouldy Old Dough by Coventry’s finest, Lieutenant Pigeon, and also a particular favourite of mine at the time, The Young New Mexican Puppeteer by Tom Jones - a song that, for many years after its release, I could recite the words to!

Shh! Not in public!

Even at that tender age, I thought what on earth is Tom doing singing that!

Early 70s ToTP was the gateway to the world of music for me. It was life changing.

 

I was drawn to the singles that had a rockier sound, and in 1972 alone the following appeared on ToTP with singles that I liked: Slade, The Faces, T Rex, Argent, Colin Blunstone, Badfinger, Jo Jo Gunne, Ringo Starr, Rolling Stones, The Move, Hawkwind, Alice Cooper, Electric Light Orchestra, The Who, Blackfoot Sue, Mott the Hoople, Roxy Music, Family, Python Lee Jackson, The Osmonds, Wizzard, and of course Bowie.

 

Well that saved me a lot of typing…. You missed out Lindisfarne (or maybe that’s just us up here on the Geordie Riviera)

Mercury Rising - The Stranglers

Moving on up - M People
