@SuperBoogley I'll never quite understand why so many popular songs don't become bigger hits.Tough time for this sweet gem,because that summer of '79 also saw the chart-creating public buying records in massive numbers everywhere - producing an extraordinary variety of megahits
Thanks for downloading, and there ar good comments here but, pity the sound quality is poor. there are several much fuller/clearer versions from Cd here too.
@nffc1971 I absolutely do care.I am a huge fan of Music,History and Trivia - so you can imagine how much I love musical history trivia.

Stackridge were playing Lyme Regis last night in their latest line-up (minus Mutter Slater). A very very good gig. Some interesting new material just released.
Didn't realise this song had such an impact at the time it was released I bought a copy on order from baby world children shop Prescot UK and still have Its great just to look at
I was living in Cyprus when this song was released. It's amazing how the power of music has such a long-lasting effect. Great memories, great memories. ucfbtm thanks for posting.
Thanks very much for mentioning that.It seems hard to believe,that The Korgis were almost a hobby side project to Stackridge,which was a totally different prog-rock folk sound from the earlier 70s. The Late Late Show,here on the Orlando CBS,doesn't air till gone 1am.When I heard the run-down,I could NOT believe my ears on Monday.I had to wait till 2am to see that it was absolutely true - Craig even intro'd them by saying he was 10 when he first heard them :) It was surreally nostalgic
Andy Davis ( who wrote the song & played the guitar solo) and James Warren were The Korgis but there main band was, and still is STACKRIDGE. They still tour the UK and appeared on The Craig Ferguson Late Late Show on CBS TV in America on Monday 14th March 2011. You can find it on You Tube. Have a look at Stackridge.Dot.Net
heard this on rafio 1 roadshow with dlt instructing the nation to throw their windows open so everyone could hear. just after bits and pieces if i remember correctly.
@miakirshner09 What a brilliant memory! It sounds so specific,that I'm sure you remembered it spot on.And I'm sure the Radio One jocks would indeed have implored such an act - especially DLT
@miakirshner09 NICE STORY....... NOSTALGIA IS A WONDERFUL THING ,MUSIC IS THE KEY TO THE SOUL, AND YOUTUBE IS A FANTASTIC INNOVATION, I'D BE LOST WITHOUT IT
Makes me think of my very sweet, talented, Loving friend Gary Twitchett. If you like this, as I do, check out Gary's videos. Do a search on "Juletta"........... then follow him from there!
@gahan101 One of the earlier comments says he's now in Recoil.Does that sound right? I love all the details about various connections in music history.Even Stephen Duffy was in Depeche Mode in those early Vince Clark years,right? This Korgis song was a session gig for Alan Wilder,I understand.
You know the phrase "I haven't heard this in ages", is often used. In this case, it's true.........has anyone actually heard this being played on the radio since 1979 ..........no, me neither !
I note that many of the comments here, state that for some reason this song has the ability to bring back sad memories or feelings. I agree, me too. Nothing in particular in my case, it's just a sad/poignant type of song, I guess
Those memories are timeless - and will ultimately be bigger than any regreat you might feel.You can console yourself,thinking that the recipient enjoyed those recods - and so the love got passed forward.(It's GREAT to share music).
Remember this and "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" coming out when I was little. This song was the first dance at my wedding to my childhood sweetheart in August 1993 when we were 19; sadly she had an affair and left me in May 2007 and I've not seen her since. Patricia, wherever you are and whatever you did, hearing this song here has made me realise that I still love you and always wil do, if you're still out there
hahahahaha yeah right in your profile says that you have now 29 years and in your nickname is 1980 so i would think that it's your birth year and if you were born 1980 in august 1993 you would have 13 years so wtf?????
Ah the memories....summer of 79, living in Germany, Honda 400/4, and Weisenburg Beer.....Oh Lippstat was an unusual place to pine for 30 years later!!!
@jingles968 yeah dude,been there,rode one in ireland round about this time F1-nice,nothing like the howl of a 4/4 on full bore,the smell of hot tarmac on a summers day....bliss
This song is for a girl I loved back in the 1970s and Just incase Becca ( from Portsmouth ) is still out there, I have never fallen out of love with you and never will.
this song reminds me of a mate eric last time iseen him he had just bought this record we went for a drink in bradford unfortuntiy he had a accident that weekend and died the song reminds me of him ioviey song god time
this takes me back to when i was 10 and summer holidays on the Isle of Man. Summers seemed hotter,everything seemed innocent and we looked foreward to changing the world.great times fantastic song
Indeed,there is a great new rendition by Stackridge (on James Warren's channel) of "Everybody's got to learn sometime" - a beautifully faithful performance. I know love songs can and should be interchangeable.but I'm thinking "If I had you" was meant from a boy to a girl - so allow me to play this for you :)
guys wow them coments are so moving i remember this at my primary school disco im just 40 and some how this track has made me appreciate my age cheers all
i love this track, it takes me back to when nothing mattered,i was 15 when this came out, it was always a good track to pull the girls for a slow dance. how soon time flies, thanks 4 the memories.
wow..i was 10 years old when this came out. we would sing along to it in my dad's Zodiac on the way to wales on holiday. what great memories it brings back - before life got complicated. what a great posting. thank you so much for this.
That's sweet kiddie,thankyou.Isn't it lovely how music alwaus takes us straight back to a specific time and place? I was dealing with the hilarity of being a 14 year-old boy in late 70s Britain.(And wondering why James was dressed like a wasp on TOTP and singing "you looked as pretty as a bee".Maybe he wasn't? :) )
This song means such a lot to me. I bought this for my first girl friend in 1979 when i was only 13. I didn't think she would go out with me because she was so pretty. I gave her the song.She died in 1983 at the age of 16. I am 42 now and still miss her. This song always makes me cry but thanks for putting it on here. God bless you all. x
Bless you too Cap.That was a beautiful memory to share,thanks very much.We certainly had our childhood and adolescence during a Golden Age for music,didn't we? (I am recently 43,so I remember those exact feelings you were experiencing).I'm glad you got to enjoy that love.She did too - some moments of true beauty in a far too short life.Hugs x
@cap280 That's such a sad wee story cap 280 and you will always miss her. They say that time is a great healer but the pain only lessens it never heals! My brother and myself used to sit and listen to this song, he is dead now so when I listen to it I always have a wee cry. there are certain songs that just seem to have that certain something and I always think the person who writes them must have a really warm, good heart. God bless you all x RIP neil x
I just heard this playing radio 2 and brought memories flooding back from my childhood. My mum used to play this song over and over. It has a special place in my heart from that moment in time when i was stood as a young girl in the dining room watching the record going around and around, fascinated by this beautiful song...
It was a golden era of music,to be a teen eh? (Made up for having Maggie around).Yes,I did get to hear Ken Bruce once play Rod's version.I was amazed that anybody would tackle it,but he really did a beautiful job - a lovely tribute.Ta for the album info.
ucfbtm, ta for posting this, reminds me of my teen days growing up in Liverpool, hey just ahd a laugh reading Rhonddachick & ur replies! lol! she's a bit of Welsh Rarebit I'd like! lol!
I'm so confused! You mean I'm NOT you're only one?! And you break it to me so publicly?! :( (Don't try to tempt me those xxxx - I won't fall for that again.Tee-hee).Now behave,this is supposed to be a sad song *sniff* )
Alan Wilder of Recoil, and former longtime member of Depeche Mode, played on the single version of this song as a session keyboardist back before his big break.
who cared 1979 oil crisis , thatcher government , strikes , 3 day week , music pulled us through ,glad i was 19 when this came out if only we could go back in time ,no neds , hoodies or tossers on the streets !!
Your profile suggest you were 19 last year.I hear what u say about each generation's outcasts.I DO remember how the wrinklies of my teen years bemoaned the resurgence of mods and rockers - even tho they probably WERE those back in the 50s.Keep the faith - there are still occasionally love songs out there e.g "Hey There Delilah" (possibly a Grammy winner,but retro simple)
1979 - I was 13 and this was the first song that made me realise what emotion in a song was all about. 40(+) now and it's still awesome...if not better.
Cheers Nick.Me too - I had just turned 14.The clever thing,is that these were not teens but they were singing about those years.Definitely struck a chord,simple and poignant - oh how the Korgis were terribly under-rated
Same here, was 11 when this came out during a holiday camp week, fell in love with this girl from Nottingham and this song was EVERYWHERE.....always reminds me of that 79 holiday and her, seems like yesterday the memories are so vivid, her name was Claire Rogers
haven't heard this for many many years , too painful for me , every day reminds me of my old collie Sam , died in 79 , still think about him every day , but nevertheless a great song from the 70,s , the good ole days
just had to hear this before going to bed.life is good when you have love.but its been a long road to get where i am.Avebabe my life is heaven on earth now i have found u.luvya,luvya,luvya xxxxx
Cheers Roy - I'm with you there.They certainly were masters at the heart-tugging guitar solo bridge.Normally I'd cringe at the Country/Western twang of a steel guitar (sound),but here it actually adds to the fraught emotion without changing the theme.
me too - that's the sign of good music.That is lovely to hear it made such an impact when you were 10 (which was 4 years ealier for me).Music is a wonderful memory in itself and a reminder of other memories.Cheers
Simply wonderful!!! Nothing more to say about the Korgis...massively underated but with a wonderful catalogue of tunes. James Warren and Andy Davies were genius. I'm back in August 1979 all over again...happy days!!
it should have been no 1 this

I'm so confused! You mean I'm NOT you're only one?! And you break it to me so publicly?! :( (Don't try to tempt me those xxxx - I won't fall for that again.Tee-hee).Now behave,this is supposed to be a sad song *sniff* )

A real classic! Perfect for those Valentine discos and last songs at school discos!

Alan Wilder of Recoil, and former longtime member of Depeche Mode, played on the single version of this song as a session keyboardist back before his big break.

Wish I was 19 last year !!! , actually I didn't complete a profile I just gave a user name and away I went , all I will say is that I am over 21
thedugsbollox 4 years ago
who cared 1979 oil crisis , thatcher government , strikes , 3 day week , music pulled us through ,glad i was 19 when this came out if only we could go back in time ,no neds , hoodies or tossers on the streets !!
thedugsbollox 4 years ago
Your profile suggest you were 19 last year.I hear what u say about each generation's outcasts.I DO remember how the wrinklies of my teen years bemoaned the resurgence of mods and rockers - even tho they probably WERE those back in the 50s.Keep the faith - there are still occasionally love songs out there e.g "Hey There Delilah" (possibly a Grammy winner,but retro simple)

1979 - I was 13 and this was the first song that made me realise what emotion in a song was all about. 40(+) now and it's still awesome...if not better.

Cheers Nick.Me too - I had just turned 14.The clever thing,is that these were not teens but they were singing about those years.Definitely struck a chord,simple and poignant - oh how the Korgis were terribly under-rated

Same here, was 11 when this came out during a holiday camp week, fell in love with this girl from Nottingham and this song was EVERYWHERE.....always reminds me of that 79 holiday and her, seems like yesterday the memories are so vivid, her name was Claire Rogers
cockney1980 4 years ago
haven't heard this for many many years , too painful for me , every day reminds me of my old collie Sam , died in 79 , still think about him every day , but nevertheless a great song from the 70,s , the good ole days

just had to hear this song ive loved it since its first hearing the bottleneck guitar gets me every time
royharvey53 4 years ago 2
Cheers Roy - I'm with you there.They certainly were masters at the heart-tugging guitar solo bridge.Normally I'd cringe at the Country/Western twang of a steel guitar (sound),but here it actually adds to the fraught emotion without changing the theme.

sam4colin 4 years ago
me too - that's the sign of good music.That is lovely to hear it made such an impact when you were 10 (which was 4 years ealier for me).Music is a wonderful memory in itself and a reminder of other memories.Cheers

Simply wonderful!!! Nothing more to say about the Korgis...massively underated but with a wonderful catalogue of tunes. James Warren and Andy Davies were genius. I'm back in August 1979 all over again...happy days!!
