 The Glaxo Babies only TV appearance. 1979.

This is so ace. I can't wait for Susan to come back from the allotment to see this. We used to see Bristol band the Glaxo Babies a lot at this time they were very good. Bought all their records.

Katy J Pearson Willow's Song

 I really like the Wicker Man soundtrack and have from time to time thought about covering it. Here is a version I just heard on the radio. It's good.

P J Harvey 1995 performances

 This is good. Songs from To Bring You My Love lp which we bought on CD. 

Shocking Blue Inkpot 1972

 I like this. Sounds very of its time which is good. Crazy lyrics but fun. They sort of are like a real life Carrie Nations but Dutch. 

Inkpot album wiki

 When we still lived in Frome. After the music years.


Stevie Wonder - Uptight 1966

Medieval - Official Trailer (2022)

 Check out the trailer for Medieval, an upcoming movie starring Ben Foster, Sophie Lowe, Michael Caine, and Til Schweiger.

Inspired by the true story of Jan Žižka, one of the greatest warriors in history. After the death of its reigning emperor, the Holy Roman Empire is plummeting into chaos while feuding brothers King Wenceslas of Czech and King Sigismund of Hungary battled for control of the empty throne. Daring and righteous mercenary leader Jan Zizka (Ben Foster) is hired by Lord Boresh (Michael Caine) to kidnap the powerful Lord Rosenberg's (Til Schweiger) fiancée, Lady Katherine (Sophie Lowe), to prevent Rosenberg's rise to power alongside the corrupt King Sigismund. Jan believes that Kings are the right hand of God and should be respected and obeyed, no matter what.
As Katherine becomes caught in a dangerous political game between the monarchs, Jan falls in love with her strong spirit and dedication to saving the people. In a brave attempt to liberate her, he fights back with a rebel army to battle the corruption, greed, and betrayal rampant amongst those clawing for power. Jan now realizes that the fate of the Empire will be decided by his love for Lady Katherine and that his fate doesn’t lie in the hands of Kings, but in the hands of his own people.
The movie also stars Roland Møller, Matthew Goode, and William Moseley.
Medieval, directed by Petr Jákl, opens in theaters on September 9, 2022.

Tyrannosaurus Rex. King of the Rumbling Spires 1969

 Listen here. The songs from this era were much better than the glam period stuff. In my opinion.

Lew Lewis - Mr Bartender (French TV 1980)

 Clip. This is pretty good if you like that early 80s r'n'b sound.

Horseplay Eddie and the Hot Rods 1976

 This is one of my favourite YouTube videos. When the late Lew Lewis was on harmonica. They were so good. There are three tracks by this set up on tv,  the others are Writing on the Wall and Get out of Denver. All of them are phenomenal and never bettered. They were part of my youth when I was 16.

NANCY SINATRA - Arkansas Coal (1972 avec Lee Hazlewood)

 I like songs about coal mining and this is pretty corny but good anyway. 

Shadows of Knight Gospel Zone 1966

 I like this one - see what you think - it's not gospel.  Susan dislikes the lyrics on this. 

Suzannes - "New Disease" (Full EP) 1978

 Susan and me bought this at the time. Very good. Dutch. Sounds a bit like the Rolling Stones.

Rolling Stones Gather Moss (1964) | British Pathé

 I thought we had better commemorate 60 years of the Rolling Stones. When I was young the kids at the park divided into Mods and Rockers - Mods liking the Beatles, Rockers the Rolling Stones. I would be on the Beatles side. But I was about 6!

Shakin Street - No Time To Lose - French TV may 1978

 I don't know this band but it seems alright. Know them?

 Midsomer Norton's big summer event M-fest was on - we watched Bath psyche band Ulysses. They were great.

From 2018

Bo Diddley in 1966

 This is very good and worth watching (20 or so minutes). I particularly liked  seeing them recording We're Gonna Get Married which is a song I love. Also shows records being made. There is a song I don't know called something like Look at that go-go which is cool.

 Just heard on Boss Radio 66. It's a great song which gets better as it goes along.

 This is quite bad quality but it's worth looking at to see them play.

 I really like this. See what you think. The harmonies are great.

 Marvellous early track that I would love to do a version of - it's so good. BB King on guitar.

Willie Love - V8 Ford

 First heard this covered by Sonny Boy Williamson but here is the original. 

Irma Thomas Breakaway (1964)

This is my favourite non Wilko moment of the Feelgoods. Original by Otis Clay.

  Song wiki

Troggs - Summertime

 Just played on Boss Radio 66. A classic bit of Reg Presley lasciviousness. I have this box set. 

All Women are Bad (1969 Movie Trailer)

 This radio spot is a standard on Boss Radio 66 - previously on Ichiban. It's great. Presumably the inspiration for the Cramps All Women Are Bad

Kan Dells - Cry Girl 1965

 Just heard on Boss Radio 66. A primitive stomping beat. Gories covered this. 

Sedgemoor GIF
