Pinball Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Yep this won't set the bass playing community alight but this is my oldest original song that I can still remember. Written by me as a teenager in the late 1970's and sung by the old guy in the picture. A good buddy eventually made it into a video. That's just nuts!

Even if you had gone the ultra-budget Desperate Bicycles route, it would have still cost you at least £150 to record and press 500 copies (the minimum a pressing plant would consider) and back then that was a significant amount of money. And unless John Peel had picked it up for radio play and Rough Trade had distributed them you'd probably still be left with 450. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and come to think of it there was no Youtube, mobiles or Internet streaming services... Now I really feel old LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Good news is that this has got me back into playing a bit of acoustic guitar and I'm looking forward to playing live this Saturday. 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
