[AvuncularFeldspar]

Hilarious! I haven't heard this for years! Thanks!

[IanHunedoara8]

Love the cover art guys!

[jotho7]

this was the first record i bought with my own money,what was thinking

[CatpurrRobertaBobbi]

THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!! At age five I played the heck out of this and stared at the cover for HOURS. While I thought they looked kinda scary I thought Pip and The King were my friends and sang just to me! The memories make me smile!! And cry a bit.

@CatpurrRobertaBobbi

me too, it was the first record i spent my own money on. wow

[voxhammer]

Thanks man,this is awesome to hear again. My 8 track got eaten in like '80, but I rocked this all the time before that. I can't tell you how cool this is, but I guess you already know. Thanks again.

This album brings back memories!! I think this was maybe the like 4th or 5th album I ever purchased??? I still have this album at my parent's house, think I'll drive over there and get it!! Thanx for the nostalgic post!!

THX 4 vigja! My AuntMary gave me this album. I just loved the HumanBeatBox noises & rap.

[jason75]

[jason75]

Havn't heard this in ages

[riverdale999]

The first rap song? This pre-dates rap by years.

[stumpyc]

The song was used tv promotion in Victoria Australia for junior Aussie Rules.

[ManganeseMan]

classic album! thanks for posting

[katjicca]

sweet song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MACGYVERKICKYOURASS]

Just so everyone knows, I added a link to the stereo versions of Parts 1-3 of the album.

It's up there in the video description.

Believe me, it's a huge difference than the standard mono version!

[spy4863]

Pardon me, MACGYVERKICKYOURASS, but since you obviously have a copy of The Pipkins' record with "Gimme Dat Ding", perhaps maybe you could tell me where I could get a copy of The Sweet's cover of The Archies' song "Get on the Line", since that was on the flip side of one of The Pipkins' records. They may have been known as "Sweetshop" at the time. Thanks!

[MACGYVERKICKYOURASS]

Sorry, I honestly have no idea!

All I can tell you is that "Get on the Line" is the B-side to "All You'll Ever Get From Me"

This was my dad's record. Your best bet is likely to be eBay.

Sorry I can't help more!

[spy4863]

Thanks for the info! I'll try eBay. I don't use a credit card, but maybe my sister can get it for me. By the way, I love your Pipkins videos! I've been reading that Tony Burrows was one of them. Which one was he, Pip or Kin? Or was he both? Thanks for writing!

[spy4863]

By the way, I also have been doing a little research on "Gimme Dat Ding" because it's on the "Have a Nice Day-Super Sounds of THe 70's" CD set. I think it's on Volume 6. The voices wrre so funny, and the higher voice sounded so much like Tiny Timthat I just had to find out about the song! Of course, I found out that it wasn't Tiny Tim doing the voice, but I still love the record!

[spy4863]

I just wanted to thank you for your advice about that record! I took your advice and found it on ebay! My sister bought it for me, since I've sworn off credit cards, and gave it to me as an Easter present! I couldn't be happier with it! The music is marvelous! What's interesting to me is the original owner wrote his name and date on the back-a certain Nigel A. Rich, and it's dated "Christmas, 1972". I'm from The United States, and "Nigel" is not a common name here. Thanks again!

[MACGYVERKICKYOURASS]

Hey, that's great to hear! Glad I could be of help!

And yes, it's always fun having the name of a record's previous owner. I've wanted to see if I could find some of them, but I've never bothered to.

[RevSpike]

@spy4863 The Sweet All You'll Ever Get From Me has the exact same backing tracks, but with diff vocals; (link in yr mail) gET oN tHE lINE IS ALSO ON THERE. oops caps

[ManganeseMan]

thanks, the stereo sounds great!

[dinastein44]

My favourites were "Sunny Honey Girl" and "Are You Cookin' Goose"! BTW I'm curious - did Tony Burrows sing the high or the low voice on the tracks?

[Pamfino]

Tony Burrows sings the low voice - Roger Greenaway sings the high one.

[horarwgt]

The first two tracks are throwaways, but "Busy Line" would have made a good follow-up to "Gimme Dat Ding."
