  1. Before they get to his peat briquettes.
  2. Beat me to it - though it does still have the right number of strings!
  3. Your garage is a boomtown for rats.
  4. Chas & Dave backed Labi Siffre on 'I Got The' as famously sampled by Eminem. Chas also featured in the Joe Meek house band along with Ritchie Blackmore.
  5. Crusaders were the house band for Blue Thumb Records, and were on Hugh Masekela's Grazing in the Grass.
  6. Indeed. Two countries separated by a common language 😏
  7. @Nail Soup 'Vamp 'til ready' - opening chords/riff/rhythm used by old time dance bands to keep dancers on the floor until the lead instrument/singer is ready to come in with the tune.
  8. Tangerine, Daphne Blue, Seafoam Green, Butterscotch Blonde, Fiesta Red, but definitely NOT Sunburst or natural.
  9. Tedeschi Trucks for a slightly more sophisticated take on the genre:
  10. As much as it sounds hard to believe nowadays, Capital Radio. Nicky Horn with Your Mother Wouldn't Like it, Alexis Korner, Adrian Love, Roger Scott, Dave Cash - all big music lovers who would champion their favourite artists.
  11. Long before any of the above mentioned was Marie Lloyd, with lyrics such as 'she sits among the cabbages and peas'
  12. Sorry! Wouldn't life be dull if we all liked the same stuff?
  13. Down there with Disturbed Sound of Silence. I'm sure Lionel is way too nice to tell the truth!
  14. How come? Maybe because it is so appalling nobody else thought for a moment that it beats the original?
  15. BIG vocal! Very different to a lot of reggae vocal styles, and I was amazed when it was announced as Ken Boothe.
  16. Ken Boothe sounding VERY different from his Everything I Own hit - what a vocal!!
  17. I'd like to think that Karen Carpenter would have achieved the same status as Dolly Parton and Abba, with people realising how good she really was. Hendrix would be dealing with the problem of wild parakeets taking over London's parkland.
  18. Great to see this outfit getting some good support from BBC6 Music. Great players and great modern fusion of styles. Cracking drummer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0016fvw
  19. Heard Dennis Brown Black Rose yesterday. Nice use of Here I Come track, but which came first?
  20. Mind you, keeping Vienna off the number one spot was pretty funny!
