RUNNING JUMPING STANDING STILL - 1966 - Diddy Wah Diddy

[wellsy1954]

If Andy James(Anderson) hadn't had a brain aneurism RJSS might well have become one of OZ's best-ever bands.The punters were finally starting to catch on to their Missing Link-type music.Andy's replacement Peter Newing just wasn't up to it and I guess Doug Ford had had enough and joined The Masters-pity.

[AviatorAndyK]

this guy is such a homo, this cover has no soul , beefhearts is way better.

@hypa666azzy

....and I guarantee those guys got more girls in one night than you'll get in your entire life.

[sopaman1234]

@Dollybirdvintage not really the majority of of those garage bands back then were either too stoned on heroin or cocaine

back then to even notice anything epecialy women it's very doubtfull if any of them are still around or alive for that

matter

[debiedog1]

Brings back memories of The Catcher!!! Anyone remember?

[lindyinthe60s]

@debiedog1

Yes, i remember the Catcher all right, what a scene that was! (vivid recollections of uniforms with torches making the rounds, too...)

[gregABCD]

Thelead singer is Andy Anderson a helluva nice guy

[watchinshadows]

Great version

[toecutterr6]

Very cool!

[Rockdancer]

The RJSS often played at a mod dance in Canterbury (in Melbourne). Very tight and they typified the Melbourne mod look.

I only saw the Missing Links once; at "Georgia" in the Nth Balwyn YMCA. They were fantastic plus an amazing amount of feedback and instrument destruction. I still have a piece of a maraca that Andy smashed. I loved their version of "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut".

Was the evolutionary sequence - Links, RJSS, Masters?

[gotears2listen]

Ha ha, is that a keyboard or a hostess trolley keepin their dinner warm?

Also the bassist looks a ringer for Pete Townsend ( bass windmill chop anyone? )

[gotears2listen]

Crazeee! - like an Austin Powers spoof of a spoof

[LastTree]

Yeah! Love those moves~

[crinkleman123]

i liked captain beefheart's version better

[agar1956]

Wild About You - a track on The Saints I'm Stranded album - is a Missing Links song. The album says it is Anonymous or author unknown I think, but I once saw a Missing Links album with Keupper or Bailey's name on it at a friend's place.

[powerhungry52]

the guitarist in the black sweater is doug ford who later on was lead guitarist in the master apprentices

[fossie32]

I liked this a lot from when it first came out. Listening to it now, a little like the Yardbirds.

[guppypartz]

I love the way he has fun with the low note ... checking his throat at one point. Very cool.

[abbeyroadart]

The singer is Andy James, now an actor & known under his real name Andy Anderson.

The singer is Doug Ford, now a jazz guitarist

[toppop100]

Wonder who the singer was. He looks to me like the Michael Hutchence of the 60s!

[TDKIII]

its more true to Bo Diddley's original, and the vocals are better

[TDKIII]

I would like to see a Missing Links clip

[sexybarber]

i liked the version with their other singer a little better. still great though

[discomatador]

Am I alone in wondering how there is so much Aussie/

UK/Europe/Asian(!) garage rock from the 60's on video, but ...the amount of video from

Sonics ( nil apparently)

Love (1) Remains (2) etc is pathetic!! What was

wrong in the USA???

[chuckdee121]

Fun Fact: A group out of California called Captain Beefheart and his magic band did a great version of this classic blues stomper on the independent label A&M records. What was Herb Alpert thinkin???
