' Fire us ' - Don Draper

[diruta]

As heard on Sunday's episode of Mad Men.

Uprated. The Brits are known for not only nailing "foreign" stuff but improving it. This is a classic example. If you PM me, I can provide you with some info on this group. I have a little from the HARD UP HEROES double record set which came out in the '70s and is a nearly lost classic compilation of all kinds of good stuff such as this. Greetings from France via the USA.

@TheAmazingMorse Thanks. You were born into a great decade. Rock 'n' Roll had gone quiet somewhat due to it being commandeered by the impresarios. 1962 was awful for music in UK & The Beatles brought Rock back with a bang at the end of the year! I only wish i had seen their live shows before they hit the big time. That would've been something. But i was lucky enough to witness a fair few of the other 60's greats. Nashville Teens were real. They would drink in the bar with audience after shows.

@Harmonicajello You sound like my older brothers who had to sneak this stuff into the house way back when. Thank God they did. I was born in 1966 into a house where The Beatles, Kinks, and The Animals ruled. I thank you Brits for discovering our Rock and Roll and returning it in even better condition than you had found it.

@mahonriwilson so u played with this guys?!?!? fucking awesome.

[mahonriwilson]

I played along a band called by this name - in Dinnington near Sheffield.

In fact it was this band COSMIC!

[cornflowerish]

Does anyone know if this was the band with David Fairhurst in it? I met him on a train in Switzerland and forgot to ask the name of the band he was in that did Tobacco Road - too busy admiring the scenery!
