This track was used by a DJ on the pirate radio ship Radio Scotland to introduce his show. Think he was called Ben healy. The government of the day killed off all the pirate stations on ships and forts with the infamous Marine Offences Act which became law on 15th August 1967.
@metrosul I never quite understood that. Did pirate radio stations say something along the lines of "well, it's a law, so we'd better shut down"? I remember a later incarnation of Radio Caroline from 1989 or so which was physically boarded and shut down, and I also remember all those really weak FM stations (playing mostly reggae) that moved around nightly from different council flats in London...
@shmuli9 Pirate radio is always around, but never for long in any given place. Most pirate radio equipment isn't capable of even a tenth of the power of a commercial station, so it's always weak. I wish radio pirates the best though, they're good people on the wrong side of a stupid law. You should check out the documentary called "Pirate Radio" if you're interested in the details of the movement.

"Peggy Sue Got Married" 1986 motion picture film. This version was playing when Peggy Sue was walking around than into the Cafe where she meets the rebel poet she wanted to be with the first time around as a teenager, but didnt do so into her second time around. Movie is a serious coming of age drama about a woman at her 25th HS reunion who has a mild heart attack, and awakes back in 1960 as a seventeen year old who has the ablitity to change all the wrongs in her life...but seems she cant.
jimmytheferret - you are my hero. This is my all time favourite record which, like another comment below, I first heard at the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. I lost my copy of the single many years ago and have never managed to find a CD of Phil Upchurch (nothing to play vinyl on anymore anyway!!)
Dee Clark's road band 1960 featured guitar- Phil Upchurch, organ- Cornell Muldrow, ts- David Brooks, tp- Marc Johnson, d- Joe Hoddrick -- this recording originally on Boyd, an Oklahoma City label. It was the second release of the tune written by Muldrow.
Nice Post. YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN (PART II) was the "A" side of the record here in the USA. Song originally came out on the Boyd Record Label here in OKC.
Larry N. Boyington, aka Larry Neal, former curator of the Wax Museum on the big 1520 KOMA
When I was a mobile DJ, I started out playing records. When I played this song with a lot of volume, the bass solo would feed back, acoustically, through the pickup cartridge on the turntable. It was a low moaning sound. The first time it ever happened, I thought something was bad wrong! I like both parts together here. That's a pretty good segue between the two.
I think the follow up was called You can stand up (if you like)
Th mighty hofner organ was king instrument around this time, other great exponents were Georgie Fame (Me & my Girl) a tour de force. Booker T (Green Onions) Zoot Money & Billy Preston
Thanks! Today this song popped into my head for some reason and I haven't heard it since probably '62... It was one of my favorites and thanks again for sharing!
Absolute Brilliant Instdrumental ,Get It On Dancer! Top Tune -10 * This Baby's Straight On My Fav List *Great Posting & Thanks For Sending It soulhoney66,ktf*M.Nice One !
I have been trying for years to get hold of a compilation album called "This Is Sue!" which featured this, "Barefootin'", "Harlem Shuffle", "Let The Good Times Roll" By Shirley and Lee (not the Bunny Sigler version) and loads of other cool tracks without any success. Any help anywhere?
I found it sometime in the late '70s at a used record store in Bloomington, IN. It is one of my favorite LPs ever. I've never ever seen it again. You might keep trying to find it online. Sorry, but i'm not selling mine!
Yeah Island kept that LP on catalogue for a while in the 70s as a 99p job (in glorious Mono too !). Charly put out a cassette version of it with extra tracks in the mid 80s. The three Ace "UK Sue Label Story" CDs cover most of the material. Luvly stuff !
i saw on his web site he was selling a complete cd collection of almost all his work, which was quite a lot, he wanted a couple thousand for it(come on lottery)
A top 20 classic no matter what club or scene you were in from about'67 onwwards 'til now and forever.........this is soul from the hearts of great d it for a whole lot of love of the music and little money....musicians, arrangers and studio people di
WOW! They used to have a late night show on every night back in the early -mid 60's on KAAY Little Rock Ark., called Stans Record Review.. The Mighty 1090.. 50,000 Watt clear channel ..on every night.You could hear it from Canada to Florida..and this was the Theme song.All R&B & soul. I used to listen every night while I was suppose to be in bed asleep. Man..what a great memory, what a great station. Thanks for the Post! Killer Tune!
