This was my dear old mum's taste in music. Although she died 25 years ago, this music takes me right back to those salad days of innocence, stability and family warmth. I used to scoff at this music, but now I see the beauty and divine melodies that she saw. I wonder if she used to reminisce abo...

It's amazing how the Chilites produced such amazingly memorable songs. I've only got to listen to one of their tunes and a floodgate of memories opens up - long forgotten heartaches and poignant events rear themselves.

I saw these fellas at Baileys in Watford in the early 70's. I seem to remember that the management wanted to get the Philly sound to the public. They succeeded. I'm not sure, but did the Stylistics come over as well?

It's strange that in a decade of far reaching social change, recession, inflation rates hiiting the roof and catastrophic unemployent, musical creativity and fashion hit new heights of quality and innovation. I was told that the central theme of this song was a russian nuke sub was caught by the ...

They were always playing this when I used to go and see Chelsea. Of course they had a greyhound track around the pitch then. If anyone scored at the Bovril End, they had to pass details down verbally as it was like watching tiny matchstick men from our end! Happy Days!

I thought the opening pub scene came from Danger Man. Still, your choice of video and the song seem to go together amazingly well! Came to GG&F in reverse order, having been directed to King Crimson first (God, forty years ago!).

For a long time I had mixed feelings about this, but as time has mellowed me I realise that this is a masterpiece of songwriting. 10cc were four highly talented individuals although I favour the godley/creme songwriting team. In fairness, the skills of Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart have also p...

I came to know about these guys when King Crimson came on the scene (21st Century Schizoid Man et al). Bob Fripp's amazing guitar work started in very erudite beginnings. Its a shame that a lot of this stuff never sees the light of day now.

How can I have missed this one? A gem from the 80s uncovered. Thanks

Just hearing China Crisis again sends all my memories of the 80s flooding back. I was at teacher training college at the time, full of hope and excitement for the future. I was going to make a difference..................now I am a deflated sad old g*t!

A vastly underrated and talented group that deserved much more. I understand that Martin Brammer became a song writer for quite a few top names. If I cpuld go back to the 80s I would do a lot of things differently............

Heard this on 'Fill your head with rock' in 1970 or thereabouts. To a spotty 16 year old it was a revelation - no top of the pops stuff - fantastic!

Judith Durham, australias greatest contribution to mankind! The boys are no mean musicians their harmonies add velvet to the song. Great protest song from the sixties - I played this song to a group of younger people and they thought it was a twee diity! I then explained about the black radioact...

Great to hear this again

A true gem from the 60s. The incisive Goffin/King lyrics performed beautifuly by the Byrds. What more could you want?

Lovely feel good song, dusts down my happy memories of 1976
