More Bloody Repeats

Colonel Pleasure's picture


1: Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker etc from 'Gonks Go Beat.'
2: Bill Wyman hopes you all got one of these in your stocking. Much more fun than a USB deck.
3: Duets That Should Never Have Happened. The prize went to prancing former pop pierrot Leo Sayer with Linda Ronstadt on Tumbling Dice.
4: I'm sure there's more tolerance of cats in rock at The Word these days, so here's Elbow's take on Independent Woman. By cats of course.
5: You don't see acts like these 1960's London buskers anymore. Someone here identified the pub, too. That's typical.
6: No 6 really is the only spot for the fag-smoking, health & safety ignoring Watersons & Anne Briggs.
7: Cast out those nicotine devils with The Reverend Louis Overstreet.
8: Off your face in a foreign country was how David described the background to this masterpiece. Paul Weller & The Style Council in a mimed moment best forgotten.
9: More fags with The Flinstones.
10: The Great Barbara Lynn's live clips get taken down regularly. Take a look at the only live one currently left standing of this legendary left-handed, guitar playing soul singer.
11: The clip I wished I'd found the most? The all-round good chap Planet Mondo beat me to it. It's The Flirtations & 'Nothing But A Heartache'.
12: You can't beat The Scopitone Girls. Here's Sonny King & 'I Cried For You'. The greatest. Ever. Apart from Disco Apache, perhaps. (Bugger. That's thirteen).

Many thanks to those nice people at The Word for transforming what was formerly a bike ride down to the snug for a chat, to a blast down the information superhighway to, er, Bollocks Island.

Ole skool churchin'

It's well worth reading all the comments under the Reverend Louis Overstreet video. Lawd! Amen!

Oh dear...

Just watched 25 seconds of the Ronstadt / Sayer clip. Jesus wept... I never want to see that again.

Blast from the past

I'd forgotten all about that Elbow cover - thanks for the memories!

The Great Barbara Lynn

is still sounding good. What I Need Is Love off her fairly recent Hot Night Tonight album is modern soul music at its best.
