MUSIC ... what do you like?

Hi Shiney, I'm trying to remember too.

I can see it now, if you travel down the main road from Tottenham towards the City, you passed it on a corner on the right-hand side.

I've checked his bio but it doesn't mention it. But I know he was there for some time in the early sixties.

 

Well I'm saying Stoke Newington, it was definitely on that road around that area, as we used to pass it on Wednesday afternoons as we drove from Edmonton to Streatham passing through the City to occasionally visit my wife's aunt. This would have been between 1962 and the end of 1964.

 

If the weather’s a bit dull and uninspiring like today, I’ve been working in the garden and I’m feeling a bit “flat,” I treat myself to a beer and put this on. Such a cheerful song.

Im giggling about posting some of the music I listen to when Im working out with my rowing crews or going for a run!

Im thinking this thread doesnt have much drum and bass/ grime, or speed metal on it! :D

Or perhaps Im speaking out of turn and there are some B-boys and teknoheads on the forum. It wouldnt be the first time people on here have confounded my expectations!

Turn up your speakers!

50cent cant dance like me, Soulja Boy cant dance like me, Michael Jackson cant dance like me...

 

Thanks for that, Shiney, most are from eBay, I look for "mint" copies, a lot of them are twenty to thirty year old un-played re-issues from the USA, they cost around six quid but half of that is the airmail postage, but I think it's worth it.
The problem is that the cartridge is very sensitive, fine for reproduction but it will also pick up every imperfection. In their working lives the records didn't stay in the juke for long, as new ones were coming out all the time. They were also all "untouched by human hands" so didn't get scratched.
I must stop buying them!

 

Just browsing through my YouTube collection this morning, I came across this.

This was my mother's favourite tune, sung by Steve Conway. I remember when I was at primary school it was often played on the radio.
Unfortunately, there's no copy on YouTube although I've an mp3 of it. It's been recorded by dozens of well known artists, but is now very much out of fashion.

This recording by Margaret Whiting is not bad.

Steve Conway sounds now a very dated singer, but I think he had a fantastic voice, not at all "Americanised" (he was from Bethnal Green).
Died at 32 in 1952 after a heart operation.

Here's an example.

But enough of that, I've just ordered this for the jukebox in which I keep my Motown and vintage USA pop singles.

You're right Shiney about the Steve Conway record that is on the "B" side.

I've got a couple of Rod Stewart's "Song Book" CDs and a couple of his concerts on video.

Of course my interest is more about his German saxophone player Katja Rieckermann who plays everything from soprano to baritone.

What is it with him and "tall leggy blondes?"

You know something up until a couple of years ago, you used to find boxes full of old records, singles and even the old bakelite ones at the recycle center.
Anything salable was put in a big container and you could go and have a rummage and for a couple of quid you walked out with bags full of gear.
Then a Spanish crowed took over the center and now everything goes straight in to various skips then crushed with their JCB, hardly recycling, its criminal

 

I'm quite envious of some contributors to a USA message board which covers all types of radio and audio reproduction equipment. The practice in certain states is that if you've got something you think might be useful to someone else, when you are doing a house clearance is that you "leave it by the kerb." Some have picked up many gems like "Maggies," (Magnovox radiograms) which would have cost a fortune in the fifties and sixties and belonged to grandparents who are now no longer alive and not wanted by young people. Often they are in perfect working order having had little use in twenty years or just need a few paper capacitors changing or the mechanics of the turntables freed up.

Some models would have cost nearly as much as a small car when they were first purchased. Everyone dreams of finding a 25 valve Zenith Stratosphere which cost $750 in 1934.
