Popular Post Kerryd Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 30 minutes ago, Burma Bill said: Bill Haley and the Comets - "rock around the clock" (on a 78) Dad had a bunch of old 78s he'd bought way, way back (long before I ever appeared). Even has Johnny Cash singing rock and roll on one ! (Ballad of a Teenage Queen - 1958). Unfortunately, even though they are all in perfect condition, I don't think they are worth a lot as anything other than memories. He also had a lot of Al Hirt and Henry Mancini which led me to trying to learn how to play the trumpet back when I was 12 or so (never worked out). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had marked it 'beyond economical repair'. There was a loose wire !!! I needed a record to test it. Bought the 45 from an ex jukebox stock !! 1964 , I was in hospital with a fractured skull , a broken ulna and radius after a doctor pulled across in front of me. I was on a 350cc Ariel. In hospital The house of the rising bum ( as we called it ) was # 1 and so everytime I hear it it reminds me of that. Did get a good payout from his insurance though , money kept 'till I was 21 and in '68 went out and bought a 1956 Series 2 Morgan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wooden piece of furniture containing the record player and radio. That time my parents where not rich but I build my own amplifier when I was 12 years old, I remember I had to save for long time to buy my first Philips basic turntable. If I remember well, it was '69 and the price was about 25 dutch guilders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my 'I was there' moments was seeing DSOTM being performed live for the first time in February 1972 at the Rainbow theatre. It wasn't even called Dark Side - it was introduced as Eclipse. I took in a portable cassette and still have the incredibly bad recording. Only a few months after another 'moment' when I saw Frank Zappa get nudged off the stage (and I have the programme even now..). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
