Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Oh yes yes yes! Now we are talking! Early Stones! The best! This track to me signifies what the early sixties were all about and I'm talking about more than just music. Written by Jagger and Richards it made us all feel bold, brash, good, bad, rebellious a...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. I'm sorry guys but as good as Irma Thomas is the Stones version wins hands down. Yes it is!

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. It's a great track isn't it! It's eternal. One of the biggest disappointments of my life concern Gerry & The Pacemakers and it relates to one of their other releases "Ferry Cross The Mersey". The river Mersey conjured up great romantic dreams in my head & ...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Greetings Carl. Funnily enough I was in London for all of 1973 so I can't really make any comment on events around this track in New Zealand. I do however remember that it was pretty big in London as juke boxes in London pubs (and I knew a lot of pubs in L...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Yeah, another good post from SirH2. I've got this on her "Galore" album. A good Croydon girl. She died too young didn't she. Aged only forty one. Have a good weekend SirH. Its 4PM Friday afternoon here down under and I'm looking forward to a long and hot w...

@TheOldrecordclub No problems Carl. I'll throw a few more garlic prawns on the barbie for you!

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. This Tremeloes track amazingly (in light that the Four Seasons released it first) went to #1 in the UK and #11 in the US. One of my favourite all time UK bands.

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. What a great tribute to a great musician. Diamonds are forever Jet, forever.

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. This made #1 on the US R& B Charts and #5 on Billboard in 1964. It was a fairly big chart topper in New Zealand as well and went to #5 in March 1964.

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. This is a REAL Stones track. Flip side is "I'm Free" also a track that I really like. The disc went to #1 nearly all around the world and shame on those countries like Australia where it only went to #2! Thanks for the great post. You do have good taste I ...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. This is one of my all time favourite Rolling Stones tracks. It was released in New Zealand as the "B" side to "Get Off Of My Cloud" which went to #1 all over the world including New Zealand.

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Yeah, a girl I worked with at the time used to sing this to me all the time! Lucky eh!

Logging in once again from wellington, New Zealand. Marty Wilde is also of course the father of Kim Wilde who burst onto the music scene in 1981 with the number 2 UK Singles Chart new wave classic "Kids in America". In 1987 she had a major hit in the United States when her version of The Supremes...

"Storm England!!!???"

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Yeah! Love the opening chords of this, it's also been released on "Del Shannon-The Definitive Collection 1998" disc 2 track 20. It's a good 'un alright! It's good to be back in town SirH2, I've been away for a week resting up on a short holiday by some lak...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Tommy Roe is one of my all time favourite recording artists. This is not a bad track from Tommy but the Ronettes and Ramones versions are better. To be fair those versions have huge orchestral backings to them whereas Tommy was doing it solo. Great post th...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Yes, this was HUUUGE in New Zealand. I was fifteen when "Sheila" burst onto the NZ Charts and raced up to #1. It definitely rates in my Top Ten of all time. Tommy Roe was an extremely accomplished singer and song writer and had fourteen Top Fifty hits on t...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. I was twelve years of age when this one hit the NZ charts. It had a profound impact musically on me and it's still one of the songs that I will always remember.

That's my bleat for this evening. It's 8.53 pm and it's still 20 celsius outside so I'm putting on some old Beachboys music and going outside on our high deck, lounge back in a deckchair, crack a beer or two and look at our wonderful sea and bush views that we have here in Camborne, Wellington! G...

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. I have posted some info on another Dicj Jordan u tube posting. "Fortune Teller" was a big hit for Canadian Bobby Curtola. It reached #41 on the US charts in 1962 and was also quite big in New Zealand.

Dick Jordan's version of "Here Comes Summer" on Embassy is often cited as having sold in greater quantities than the original (Jerry Keller), however, there is no conclusive proof of this and the story may have been a fabrication of his manager to enhance the artist's standing. He also recorded f...
