It's not an Indian summer but I remember listening to this in Bath UK in the late summer of 1974 with student friends. They rented one of the floors on one of the Georgian crescents, overseeing the city, for a very reasonable sum at the time..We were very lucky.

First time I heard this we were driving up to Swan Hunter's in Newcastle to do some work on HMS Coventry (Type 42 destroyer) before the Argies put a number of bombs into her ????

Yup. we had driven from Vickers, Barrow-in-Furness down to Pompey (Portsmouth) before being instructed to drive all the way back north to Newcastle upon Tyne ???? 

 

Even then communications was good enough that we could have been told where to go next by phone!! But security was everything!! Loose Lips Sink Ships!! 

 

A very long Monday!

You've sparked a trip down memory lane with that China Crisis number, Crossy.  Now I'm thinking of all those 80's bands that I've long forgotten.

After The Fire with the title track of their '82 Der Kommissar LP.
 

 

[Tippaporn]

 The Beat with a fine cover of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' Tears Of A Clown released as a non-album single in '79.

Scary innit??

 

For more memory revival listen to BBC Radio 2 on the BBC Sounds App. 

 

Sounds of the Eighties with Gary Davies is on Friday night (I listen whilst shopping on Saturday).

 

The really sad ones listen to Sounds of the Sixties with Tony Blackburn who I first listened to when he was on Radio Caroline pirate radio, he must be at least 900 by now!

 

Check out Deacon Blue "Raintown" album, yes it really was 35 years ago!

 

 

[Tippaporn]

B-Movie with Remembrance Day off of their '80 EP.

That must have been a very "Stormy Monday"

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll check Davies out.  Hey doesn't have a brother, Ray, does he?  

 

Blackburn from Radio Caroline is still on air?  Wow.  That's amazing.  Rock on, eh?  LOL

 

The Jam with Start off of their '80 Sound Affects LP.

Great song. I think the Jam are really underrated.
