Reading the first part of this is brilliant. Love the blue gloss paint onthe lambretta. My old man did my cousin’s old one up two years ago... superb it was. He’d have cried at the blue gloss!

1979 and The Jam were just getting into their stride. Eton Rifles was the big hit but earlier in the year saw these 2 non-album singles. Both are crackers with equally good B-sides and I just can't split them.

This song has the very distictive "celtic" style lead guitar that Stuart Adamson used later in Big Country, I much preferred Skids personally...

'79 was a big year for Welsh guitar wizard, Dave Edmunds with two hit singles and an album, Repeat When Necessary. This Elvis Costello penned song reached #4 in the UK singles charts...

Pink Floyd's The Wall was a massive worldwide hit topping the album charts all over the world for many weeks and continues to sell shed loads to this day, 23x Platinum in the USA alone!...

This was a B-side to the Mittageisen single from Siouxsie &The Banshees but I've always loved it and strangely it was included in the Once Upon a Time: The Singles compilation instead of the A-side in '81.
This great performance features a young Robert Smith on lead guitar...

You may know this one from 1979 a bit better. Billy Currie (Ultravox) on synth.

Damn, with all the excitement of signing local hero Danny, I forgot to post today's songs.
Ok, how about something optimistic and joyous? and here is 3:30 minutes of pure joy. Some people demean Disco and dance music but this is just a perfectly written, produced and performed piece of music...

This was Pub Rock legends, Dr Feelgood's biggest hit and it was written by one of my favourite Songwriters, Nick Lowe about his experience at a Howlin' Wolf gig...

Possibly the best thing to come out of Pompey since Nelson on the Victory is New Wave Singer/Songwriter Joe Jackson, this was off of his second album of the year, I'm The Man...
Everytime I see this album cover, I keep thinking "a young 'Arry Redknapp"...

My jaw dropped when I first heard this debut single from The Specials, it was so different and so cool and they looked great too. I never knew anything about Price Buster then and then of course there was the whole Two Tone scene that followed...

Revisiting my (too large) vinyl collection at present due mainly due the arrival of a new cart/stylus.
This lot were much underestimated in my view. They were never 'cool', often lurching too near to cabaret or cheesy for that. Also dressed badly but they produced some fine music. Saw them live in Winchester around '82, good performance and good fun.
