The first record I ever played.... Aged about 4
-
I actually bought this record. I thought it was great at the time. However it was ok for the era it was meant for when I review it now. I thought the girl at the time in the record shop looked at me a bit funny!

@riogorgos These girls worked at Vernons Pools in Liverpool in the heyday of the Football coupon. So you could not have been closer to being Scouse.

Fab! Haven't heard this for nearly 40 years - thank you!
-
Great sound!! Is it True that Margaret Stredder of "the Lady Birds" was once part of this group??
-
Quality.

Don't know about suggesting self'chastisement, but as a result of your admission, I must make a confession of being somewhat economical with the actuality myself. I am 'northern' I suppose having spent most of my life there although I am now resident in Spain. Had to leave when my whippet died after choking on a balm cake and my favourite flat cap was blown into the sea on the front at Blackpool!
Eee but we were appy!
-
@riogorgos You're right, I hang my head in shame. Please suggest a way of self chastisement by which I may make amends.

Now here you go again! You must learn not to rush to judgement. First, by your own admission only listening to it once yet you gave the content an idiomatic judgement based on the flimsy evidence of a single hearing. Second "all you English Northern types...." is yet another example of prejudice and stereotyping.. I am not "northern" but happen to be widely travelled and therefore can distinguish accents (between the Beatles & Oasis for example AND THE VERNON'S GIRLS!).
-
@riogorgos actually I have, but on giving it a second listening I will concede that it is a scouse accent. Though all you English Northern types all sound the same to me, with your "Nah-den-pet-man-woman-ecky-th
ump-I'll-go-tut-foot-of-our-st airs-flat-cap-whippet-balm-cak e" and what have you.



Zippgunn sorry to disagree all the girls came from Liverpool and worked for Vernons Pools in Liverpool.
