Should really catch myself on.
George The Second. He did the work since 1962 but stepped up to fill side 2 of the Yellow Submarine LP in 1968. Pepperland showing us the way home on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Another Dion/Drifters crossover. Dion's take has been on the MBRS a lot. But the original by The Drifters is more like the one I first heard, via Rocky Sharpe & The Razors. (Chiswick Chartbusters!) Now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
It's Dion's birthday tomorrow. Well, fifteen minutes time. Nice sweater, by the way. Ruby Baby now on the MB Record Show to mark the occasion. Yes, a Drifters number. But Dion did it well. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Panic Shack! Ongoing face maintenance. Part of the life of a pop star. Their wonderful work 'Thelma And Louise' now on the MBRS. The only song this week that mentions Patty and Selma Bouvier. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
An early crisis in the Dexy's ranks, when Geoff Blythe turned up without his hat. Instant dismissal was talked about, but Big Jimmy spoke up for him. He got away with a verbal warning, although the writing was on the wall. Tell Me When My Light Turns Green now on the MBRS. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Great to see (and hear) the return of Birrell Or Biscuit. I think it's all the work of Craig Birrell, so a tip of the hat to him. And his dog, Trevor. The Love You Need (almost a Yellow Submarine title) now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
You know, this poster appearing in 1968 is still kind of brilliant. I don't want to overBeatle everybody, but the actual group weren't even that fussed about it. Yet it still had songs like Hey Bulldog, Only A Northern Song AND It's All Too Much (now on the MBRS) buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Germany's top entertainments duo, Woog Riots, are on the new collection of musical tributes to Edward Ball. I Helped Edward Ball Escape, it's called. And the Riots, as we call them in Derry, do a great version of My Andy Warhol Poster. As heard on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
The Raincoats, pictured at that stage of a band called 'Everyone plugged into the one amplifier'. The best time. They do a great version of Lola. Unexpected, I remember. And despite the odd comments from punk rock smart Alecs, it still sounds great 47 years later. On the MBRS. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Modesty Blaise have a revinyled collection available. It has the marvellous Carol Mountain contained within. Borrowed by the MB Record Show for a quick spin this very evening. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
I always love seeing this Shirelles photo. Especially when it's accompanied by a record like Mama Said, on the MB Record Show. I think Van was listening. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Belfast's premier T Rex fan Brian Young in a bizarre G String Tongue accident at the Harp Bar in 1977. Big Time, You Ain't No Friend Of Mine on the MB Record Show now. First release on Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations record label. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Mickey and Marc, trying out the fancy chairs at Golden Nose Slim's house. Jungle Faced Jake has just nipped out for biscuits. Telegram Sam opening the second bit of the MB Record Show with panache. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Vince Guaraldi. Born this day 1928. He once came second in a Nick Cave Look-A-Like competition. Linus And Lucy now on the MBRS. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
This is what the leaflet of the new tribute collection for Edward Ball. (He's not ill, or anything, don't worry) Music from it later on the MB Record Show, but in the meantime the song that inspired the title is airing now. I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape, by The Times. Excellent! buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Some nights the Sweet tour bus didn't turn up, but they never minded. A nice night for a stroll home. Happy Birthday to Mick Tucker, the handsome one. (First on the left) Blockbuster on the MBRS/Late Show. Where we never ever have a clue what to do. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
This is the brilliant cover of Neil Brogan's new work. Near Broken Band. Out now. And it contains a great song called Walking Round The Block. Just saying, as it's now on the MBRS buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Ah, yes. One of the great Hey songs. Along with Bulldog, Good Looking and Luciani. Great artwork, too. Obviously this artist wasn't available, the day the LP artwork had to be done. (I'll deny I said this, if it ever comes up) Hey Venus now making things better on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
It's Fanny! Fannying about, yes. They do a top version of Hey Bulldog. And it's on the MB Record Show. Just saying. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Yellow Submarine (the film) is 58 years old today. I loved it when I watched it in the town where I was born, but I don't know if I could sit through it all again. Now that I know the voices weren't theirs. Still, the songs are great. Even 'All Together Now'. On the MBRS buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
If I was shown this photo I would not have guessed it was a photo of Zoot Money. Born this day 1942. In fact, I am still expecting someone to say that it isn't actually him. But I love his hair and jacket and handkerchief. And he looks happy. Big Time Operator now on the MBRS. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
It's Disgusting Sisters. And Tiny Tears. Possibly. I'm not an expert. Another great record from them, on the MB Record Show. "Sorry Mister" buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
OK. Who had heard of The New Jersey Turnpike before we heard it from Tom And Jerry? (Apart from our friends in the USA) There's a great live version of 'America' from 1970, a radio broadcast in the Netherlands. Now on a radio broadcast round here. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
The return of "The Demonstration Tapes Write And Record A Song For Each State In The USA To Mark The 250th Anniversary!" Well, they didn't get them all done in time for the 4th of July, but this one has landed on the MB Record Show. And it's great!! buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Happy Birthday To Ron Asheton. Born this day in 1948. No Ron, No Stooges. No Stooges, No Fun House. No Fun House, No 1970. No 1970, no I Feel Alright. And there'd be an embarrasing silence on the MB Record Show now. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
The new Railcard collection. Their first LP. Two Steps At A Time. The title song is now airing on the MB Record Show. Whoever does their artwork deserves a really expensive book token. Great colours. Makes me want a Milky Way. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
Released this day in 1965. * Still brilliant. Not written about his father's operation, claims new research. Part 1 on the MBRS now. buff.ly/XYgY8Yi * Was 1965 the greatest year for singles? That's next week's Moral Maze, with me Michael Berk
Perennial !! Two Get Over Excited !! (Well, three if you include Ceej The Drummer, hiding in the back) Their wonderful recording of What's New On The Beat Scene makes another splash on the MBRS, where we're always happy to see a Red Red Robin Going Bob Bob Bobbin'......... buff.ly/XYgY8Yi
