1966mybestyear

I'm a woman, actually! but I won't take offence....

People DO care about age, you have missed the point that is being made; i.e. it has transcended time and still sounds great today.

No need for such offensive description. You are probably jealous anyway as he is a good looking guy and it is such a great song. Reserve your opinions for when you are with your yob, foul mouthed friends.

Just forget life and everything, feel good and let yourself go! I'm 61 and still love my music, just move with the times and dance when you get the opportunity, not to ABBA, and all that crap, but feel that beat of today's stuff.

Absolutely not, but it is genious. They have many albums out there, but nothing touches this one for me!

Just love New Order, the overall sound is great and makes me feel happy and young again. It seems to have transcended time, sounding just as fresh as back in the Eighties (my favourite decade). I just wish they still recorded I miss that Johnny Marr sound.

I was eight years old when this came out, it sounded cool then and it still does today. Very gentle song from the late 1950s, a very different world from today.

Gee thanks. You have made me a very happy woman knowing that he isn't dead like so many of the people from that era.

I remember the group being called Moments & Whatnots back then. I think they also did Walkin in rhythm, another jolly, summer song, one of the few decent Seventies' songs.

Another wonderful song from that wonderful decade, Ben is just so watchable and cool. I love his voice and wonder what, if anything, he is doing now. Why do these great singers just vanish after a couple of great songs?

I agree with you, he just has that certain something, maybe we were both 26 years younger and he just looks so cool.

Stop my feet, I just love that beat. Mitch's voice was just so cool and encapsulated that wonderful year, 1966. I can see everyone in the Twisted Wheel moving round in their leather coats as though it was yesterday! Does anyone know what happened to him?

This is the song that was playing on my first visit to the Twisted Wheel, Whitworth Street, Manchester in January 1966 and have never forgotten how good it made me feel. My feet are moving just watching the video and typing this. However, "Breakout" is my absolute favourite record of Mitch's.

I strongly object to your being able to show this obscenity. Is your English so poor that you couldn't use another descriptive?

This is their very best song, ever, and yet it never seems to get a mention; sick of hearing "True" and "Gold". I repeat, THIS IS THEIR VERY BEST SONG. Thumbs up if you agree! I loved the Eighties, like this Sixties only better.

My son would love this car. Boring video but brilliant track.

Me too!

Don't know about this crazy video but LOVE the song. It is uplifting and great to dance to. Listen as the music fades out and you will hear shades of Eric Pryde's "Piano".

Why snob? You have misspelt"unnatural" and "halted". If it's worth writing, then it is worth spelling correctly. No wonder so many younger people cannot hold down a decent job today, Let alone, compose a decent letter. Where did you all go to school? Oh, I forgot, you were too busy sciving off.

I love this song; it's the best one he has ever done and will probably never better in his career. He is just so good looking (ditch the bobby hat) I just love looking at him, but this song is so romantic!

I think I am in love again. The lead singer is just gorgeous.

What does your comment have to do with this video? I fail to see the significance!

Happy times on holiday in Majorca and this playing in some nearby cafe during the good old eighties.

You are absolutely right; it was out in December 1971. If people quote the year, then it should be spot on. Well done!

You are not being pedantic and ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT; IT CAME OUT IN DECEMBER 1971. I remember so well because I got engaged in December 1971 and watched it on television. Let's get those years right, if they are to be mentioned at all.

I love this song, it's great to dance to. I only wish I was dancing in a club, NOT WHILST DOING THE IRONING!"!!! Oh I can't get anyone to take me dancing anymore.

THIS SONG CAME OUT IN THE SUMMER OF 1964 NOT 1965. I REMEMBER IT AS THOUGH IT WERE YESTERDAY!! DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE MASTER, ACTUALLY, IT IS MISTRESS!!

Mr Smiths, Manchester summer 1970 went like this on the dance floor : James Brown "Sex Machine", Equals "Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys" and Free "All Right Now" then Mungo Jerry "In The Summertime". Please, does anyone else remember this sequence? I would love to hear from you. The sweat used ...

This is one the classic Mod "dance moves" in 1965; I can see myself moving to it no problem! Reminiscent of Ready Steady Go at the time when they had Patrick and Teresa showing you how to do the "block". Happy days.

I remember this as the "better" version as I heard it before Herman's Hermits, and a more Mod version, which was crucial in the heady summer of 1964.

I remember this song during the summer of 1964. Trust me. They were quite cool then.

The first time I heard this was at my son, Matthew and his wife Nicola's wedding. It just makes me cry now....

I think you meant "absolutely" not absolutily!!!! Really
