Priceless

[rockaroundtheclock56]

@Chegs45 And we have our winner! :D

[allycat360]

[TheMimifur]

Burn them down

[TheMimifur]

Alan Price is jus brilliant and I utterly love him in the film of Lindsay Anderson

[georgebur]

Well done Alan, but who is that on the amazing sythesiser?

[11CCG]

brilliant!!!

[bella4uk]

God he's gorgeous!... :)

[petertownend]

@bella4uk i bet you would like alan price to take you from behind lol

[1jackiea]

@petertownend please don't spoil the vision of this song please !!! yukky !!!

[petertownend]

@1jackiea ok sorry

[field231055]

yes still relevant today and liberals selling out

[ythomitnellum]

@Chegs45 sorry I didn't quite get across what I was trying to say - I was actually having a go at Phil Collins more than trying to defend Alan. As a point of interest, did he actually say he would leave the country in 1992, as if he did, it seems there would have been a mass exodus, as I've seen the same quote attached to Paul Daniels, Bruce Forsyth, Des O'Connor, Brian May, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Simon Bates?

[matthewrcope]

Great song from a great album. Thanks for posting.

[dalloway89]

price never recovered after dylan yelled at him for throwing a glass out a hotel window

[ythomitnellum]

@Chegs45 Alan's never lived outside the UK, unlike Phil Collins who sings about homelessness, and then lives outside the UK to avoid paying the taxes that might provide homes for some people.

I had a friend who's sadly no longer with us that manned a soup kitchen in Stoke when the Marchers came through the City; they were attacked by mounted police for no reason. The moral of the song is as appropriate today as ever.

[Chegs45]

@ythomitnellum read my post again. I didn't say he had lived outside the UK. I merely posted what he said about the 1992 election.

[MsAloneagain]

what a great song - timeless

[Minder1970]

@mrvikingdna He was born in Fatfiels,Sunderland,County Durham.He moved to Jarrow as a small child, He attended Jarrow Grammar School not 100 feet from where I'm sitting rite now :) .He was the founding member of his first band "The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo" later renamed "The Animals".

[mrvikingdna]

alan price is from sunderland and i believe he went in 70s with red alert punk band to jarrow i might be wrong if so he has a wear tint

[gazzymodo]

It's nice to have a pair of 'tits' on youtube ! Other than that, "Between today, and yesterday' is a tremendous album ! I'd love to see the tv prog on the making of the album.. 5stars.

[thelonegroover]

I've loved this song ever since I bought the album (Between Today and Yesterday) in 1974. There's other great songs on that LP if you care to discover them.

Slainthe, John

[dieheart100]

One of the greats that came out of this town :)

[the999321]

Brilliant classic Price. the most underated artist of the sixties. i love it. THANKS SAMSNAN 3

[stjoe44]

Saw Alan earlier this year in concert in Glasgow. Brought the house down. What a singer and witty as well. Had us eating out of his hands. What a talent. If he comes your way....don't miss him!

I'm old enough to remember him with The Animals but I always thought he was hog-tied by Eric Burdon. What a performer.

[davmark1]

My great grandad tim was on the march...20 years beore he was up to his knees in blood and guts on the somme...wonderful country we live in

[jarramick1]

love it

[harryotterrules]

why is this guy so underrated

[centurygardens31]

This has been a very refreshing experience. I always loved this song and so far, there have been very intelligent responses. People who are sympathetic to the situation, no pea-brained outbursts from uninformed dopes. Thanks to all!

[tez601]

pricey was organist with the animals eric burdon was always the lead singer this song is about workers fed up of being depressed and when you look at wat m p are doing now this song we should be marching now

[mikec227]

Dear Tosser

I did not reply to the message about jarovians but to a different message fom someone who spelt "Geordie" with a "j"

Who's the tit now

[MidnightOil001]

jarra boys we are still here!!

[MoveOverCasanova]

he has a very exciting, passionate voice!!!

[jgm172]

Alan Price where are you now?? Can I marry you?

[benbenking1]

It's about a march from Jarrow in north of England to London. The protesters marched to protest about the high levels of unemployment. Ironically in the US the govs of Hoover & Roosevelt tried to create employment by building dams and stuff. Too socialistic for us here in the UK! To add to levels of horrible irony Hitler increased germany's employment through arms. 55 millions lives later we in europe eventually started postwar economic boom thanks to US aid. Bummer for Eastern europe though

[MoveOverCasanova]

i heard he used to be the singer of the animals before eric burdon -- anyway, what is this song all about?

[MoveOverCasanova]

sounds a bit like "monty python" meets "frank zappa"

[xylophonistZZZ]

monardabeu - agree he has an amazing talent but do you believe everything you hear? you have obviously never met him as he is a great guy.

[monardableu]

Pricey has an amazing talent....but I hear he's a bit of a jerk as a person. "Gentleman" my ass!! Love this song, tho.

[manmuscle1400]

alan at his very best, live, love ap

[thelonegroover]

I've loved this song since I first heard it in the early 1970's (on his album "Between Today and Yesterday", which I still have :-) ).

[bagpuss7422]

i love this song,the family's fav

[mikec227]

If you're that proud perhaps you could spell geordie correctly! that is with a "g" and not a"j"

[centurygardens31]

@mikec227 Asshole. He said 'Jarovian' not 'Geordie' A Jarovian is from Jarrow!!!!!!

feel a bit of a tit now?

[nuipret]

ap can do magic.

i'm a boro guy but i have always been a big big fan of pricey.

how many artists sing their own name in a hit record?

VERY FEW!

even at the end of this song he manages to arrange a bouncy rock theme to it.

great stuff.

[linwoodtramp]

I'm from Scotland and I saw Allan belt this out last year in Glasgow. It's impossible not to get the same feeling he gets from singing about his area as we Scots get from listening to the Proclaimers when they do (I'm gonna be) 500 Miles. He is welcome back here anytime

[nuipret]

you are so right man!

you have made a great comment here.

and the proclaimers singing ''500 miles'' is a timeless classic and even though i'm an english guy it makes me proud to be a brit!

thanks again for your reply.

[dorartgrace]

this song makes you proud to be from the north east.

[LolRandomAccount]

I am so proud to be a Jarovian born and bred

[beardieweirdie]

Thanks for posting this great song by a truly brilliant artist!

[Zooney1]

This is one amazing song and Alan at 66 still belts it out live - currently on tour with the Manfreds. I was astonished at how good both he and The Manfreds were. Alan really does still sound as good as ever hitting all the high notes in the same key at the same tempo - flaming brilliant! What a class act.

[Didueva]

Loud, proud and sang with heart. Love it!

[tez601]

bloody heck wish paul daniel would av left blimy its our loss he didnt

[Chegs45]

Hmmm...is this the same Alan Price who sang about the plight of the working class, and then, in 1992, said 'If Labour win the election, I'm leaving the country.'

Oh, yes it is. Tosser.

Great song though!

[MissNorthEast]

I think you'll find that was a quote from Paul Daniels, not Alan Price

[Prestonboy]

And??? What is wrong with that. NuLabour mean nothing to the working class. Remember a third of the working class have always voted tory - especially in the North.

[centurygardens31]

@Chegs45 There's always a twisted git on here, ignorant, without any knowledge of politics or history ...................

[Chegs45]

@centurygardens31 for the record, I have a degree (2:1) in politics. :-)

[centurygardens31]

@Chegs45  And???

[centurygardens31]

@Chegs45  Whose record should I put this in? You still managed to 'knock' this guy down...................

[centurygardens31]

@Chegs45 So????? You're still a 'knocker down' of sincerity. Typical political brain!

[Mayerling52]

Bravo for posting this!

It was a very sad time for all the miners, those brave and hardworking men. It was terrible what they and their families had to suffer!

Alan Price made a wonderful tribute to them when he made this song for them. I think the video and song together echo the desperation and lost hope of the times.

You know they starved the miners back to work for LESS than they had been getting paid...SHAME ON THEM! I hope those responsible are getting theirs!

[tez601]

quite right and it still goes on

[flagsforworship]

cool!!

[BlackCountryLad]

Geordies .........Great blokes.

[tez601]

brill its amazing times still havent changed the workers are still getting screwed, not the mafia in parliament though pricey couldent have got this song more right

Never get tired of listening to this great song.

[snusmumriken3]

I love Alan's smile when he says "My name is little Alan Price"! ;-D

Thanks Sam, another very appreciated upload!!!

[Concatelli]

What an incredibly powerful song! Price captures the mood of his fellow Geordies when they marched on London in the late 1930's. But more importantly, the lyrics are equally appropriate in terms of today's social problems, world-wide. Thanks for posting!
