Great record. Great on it's own merits, but also it reminds me of 'Hey Mr Rain' by the Velvet Underground. And there can't be too many previous comparisons between Cliff and the VU.
This is one of the early songs that I really like... I was at the Cliff & Shads concert earlier this year (Brisbane) and this song sounded just as good live ... many thanks for posting !!... :-)
"I had two of those suits made in 1961. Different material, but same two button jacket, with 18" drape bottom trousers. Then winkle pickers to match."
A Cliff classic. Played this recently at a concert. Lots of Cliff fans seemed like they never knew it. A Cliff song for the real purists I think. I love this song.
The audience look really like Cliffs worst enemies lol. Most of them are probably dead now anyway. Anyone in the audience that is still alive please post a comment.
Me too, a great rocker, however I only discovered it late as it wasnt on my first Cliff & Shads "hits" lps I bought in the early 80s and never got played. I think this was prejudice both when it was released and also in more modern times; it was released after the "beat boom" had took off so "old fashioned" r&r wasnt generally accepted as "hip" ??
Love that shot of the immobile, glum-looking audience... bit different to X-Factor-type audiences of nowadays.
