The Cortinas 'Television Families'

[sledgehead2000]

my favorite bristol punk track. these guy were the first punks i ever heard of .a friend of mine did part time work with one of them and my friend would tell us about the band that deliberately cut up their new clothes i was 15 at the time . these were the original bristol sounds . r mighty

Nice work! Just got round to ordering the Cortinas Punk Anthology which has the two classic singles (A&B sides) plus the ok Heartache. Also the John Peel session including Having It. The dreadful and at the time extremely disappointing True Romances album completes the track listings. I listened to TR again to see if I missed the point bit sadly not, it sounds even worse. Getting the classics on CD was wort every penny though and the CD Booklet written by Shane Baldwin is excellent too - Steve

[ZLUGGO]

One of the best punk songs and punk bands ever. I' m always going on about The Cortinas when we discuss old punk rock.

[weselefigara]

could someone be so nice and explain to me what is this woman doing from 1:14 to 1:24??? :)

[PamK36]

Looks like some old game show. I think she is pulling a rope to make the girdle go up the man's body.

Just a guess. :)

[tonypendrey]

The game show clip with the woman and the guy in the girdle is from "Beat The Clock" which aired in the US in the 1950's.

Real class stuff.

[murfio44]

Did you ever see the original cover for The Members "Sound of the suburbs" (1978) clear vinyl - with the TV set? Best cover ever. The actual record formed the TV screen. Song & vid reminded me of it.
