@Inkvis- Hi feller. You were in the band, Hickory, right? The band's track Green Light is outstanding. I'd not heard it in years, not since a Brummy mod club, mid 80's. It was spoken about on a Facebook page an hour ago, which in turn got me hunting this number.
I got this promo record when my parents ran a working men's club, didn't think there were quite so many copies still around! This is one of the few flexi records I still have, I actually thought it was a great record.
Me and a few mates did a version of this, including the line (@30seconds) "next time you're looking for action, drag down the ladies' gear" :-D
Band was called 'Hickory'. It didn't exist in real life....We were a bunch of session musicians recruited from the Top Rank Suite band that I was playing with. The recording was done in 1969 in Leeds, Yorkshire..
I used to play in a soul band in the 70's and we changed the lyrics to this and it always freaked the audience out because they sort of knew it but could'nt figure it out, always went down a bomb though....Happy days!
Hi, great post, brings back memories. I was fortunate as a teenager as my parents converted one complete room into a party room complete with dance floor and proper bar with draught Youngers Tartan. Cheers.
@ajay999999 They were.. both gone now but great memories. That party room was fab. Ive got some super 8 film recording parties. Honest we had Youngers on draught. Great for me and my mates when mum and dad at work he he !
