Fantastic as usual guitar from Cippo and Gary....but I WANT DINO'S GUITAR !!!! I just love huge big bodied guitars.

First heard this 78 Ritz ballroom Manchester, I knew Howard from Spiral scratch and shot from both sides, totally blown away when they came on, Howard playing this riff on an ARP synth !, also didnt know the singer with the support, The Nosebleeds was one Stephen Morrisey.

Used to have this single, sadly lost in transit somwhere, I still think this is the finest recorded version, Toots is really allowed to allow full use of his monumental voice, on the earlier Ska work he often sounds constrained by the producer, but here REGGAE GOT SOUL !!!

Sadly the slightly tacky synth horn spoiled this for me, but hell it's Toots and it's Pressure drop, so that still put's it streets ahead of anything else.

Best parts of the film this, The Hawk, Neil, Joni, Bob, Van, worst part Neil bloody Diamond, I mean why ?

Never really a tuna fan in the "metal years" Americas choice excepted, but have always loved jorma's acoustic work solo and with tuna and this is certainly one of my favourites., strange thing though saw Kantners JS a few years ago and and saw the excellent Slick Aguilar covering Jorma's parts on...

just finished Patti's " Just Kids" book and now this song is more imprtant to me than ever, forever in memory of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mablethorpe and all HIV and AID's victims.

However there is some evidence for a severe sudden rise in the sea level of the Black sea, as the Mediteranean breached the Bosphorus after the last ice age, some oral tradition of this in the region may be partly responsible for this tale........but God and the Ark thing, I think not.

Or was it just using up the Papa Lazarou makeup DAVE.........

Had the honour of seeing Arthur on this tour at the Limelight club in Crewe, packed to the rafters ! the owner hadn't even heard of him and was stunned at the crowd!, one of the most memorable nights of my life, only matched a couple of years later seeing Paul Kantner play " blows against the emp...

The most painfully beautiful ode to a husband and lover I have ever heard, and so personal, I fell in love for the first time to the Wave album, happy but melancholic memories will always be attached to this song.

@MsBabster

Thought it was " Glastonbury Hippies and your blow wave etc"... Captains a secret hippy though, real ale drinking,vegetarian, early pink floyd loving tainspotter...but a bloody great guitar player !

Song maybe 74 but not the performance, that's Mickey Thomas, the biggest mistake the band ever made (Marty where were you ?), Paul's current JS is a fer more interesting band even if he and David and sometimes Marty have to go for a sit down now and again.

Young Ones, Damned, Video Nasty thats the tops ( for all you metal fans Lemmy helped out on bass for the Damned for a bit !!!) then Nine below Zero, this one and then Madness, any complaints I'll ask Mr Balovski to escort you from the house, and thats Brian Damage,not cuddly Jertsi

Truly impressed, thanks for doing that to my dodgy video, love it !

Saw them at the much missed Limelight club in Crewe, Ray the owner had no idea who He'd booked and was gobsmacked at the fact people had to be shoehorned in, a fantastic night was had and luckily I have a soundboard recording,. Happy days, in the same twelve months or so we got Paul Kantner and...

Frank wrote orchestral music which he would never play as part of a live set and nobody complains (ask Vaclav Havel ), Frank is gone and his children celebrate his music, enjoy the fact that the music is still being played, several times I saw the wonderful Jimmy Carl Back with Scouse Zappa tribu...

Great song, but The Damned today are even better !, Rat's gone Captains back, and the last album one of there best ever ! check Dark Asteroid, a tribute to Syd Barret.

Had the honour of seeing them playing " at home" the Free Trade Hall, Manchester 75 supporting Original Soundtrack, what a fantastic band, four singer songwriters and multi instumentalsts who just worked together so well, with clever, intelligent lyrics and masterful playing (back then they broug...

Saw em at the Coop hall Warrington 76, coz I'd seen them on Magpie doing Speedway, one of the best live acts I've ever seen !( my mates went to see Kiss in Manchester on the same night, think I got the better deal !!) Grahames greatest moment was still to come,"Do anything you wanna do" one of th...

Got into tex Williams via Commander Cody and Bob Wills through Asleep at the Wheel.......I just love Western Swing !!!!!

This song just is wonderful, Innes make you almost remember this as a hit from way back when, the production would make George Martin proud, not simply parody but real affection for it's origin .

There has to be genuine affection for the Beatles for the Rutles paradies to have been so good.

Saw him so many times on his own armed only with his notebook, but only with the invisible girls once, on the double header tour with Paulin Murray, at the Free Trade hall in Manchester..now that was a magical night !

I love this song and as all great folk songs should it changes and evolves to suit the time and place it is sung, unbeleivebly the Copper family version from 19 whatever so matches our times in old England it should be the new National Anthem..would love it if Cameron had to stand every time it w...

loved them.. they always seemed to turn up...best time the test of the PA in Alexandra park the night before the rock against racism show when Graham Parker and the rumour showed up to play,other best time, Free Trade hall supports for the Alberto's and the rather contrived Devo.

I remember the Teardrop explodes at Erics in 78, on the same bill as OMD,got my ticket the night I saw Xray Spex...happier and simpler days.

St bloody Julian nicked my beer at a party in liverpool in 81, bastard..still I forgive you for some fine tunes.

First time I heard this was on the vinyl 3 lp Trojan story album ( still tucked carefully away !!)..and it's bloody fantastic, wanna dance not type !!!!

I used to have this single (lost somewhere in multiple house moves) I think it allows Toots far more leeway to proove that he has a voice equal to Otis Redding,I love this more than the 69 version (and I love that lots).

Some nice acoustic duet versions with Nick Lowe to be found on here, would suggest them.

My Anthem for 2011, What is so funny about Peace Love and Understanding ? Christians who's God of peace endorses the death of physicians who help women to live there live's, and men and women who choose to love those of the same sex ! and Muslims who's God of peace condemn's those who dare to th...
