Music ain't what it used to be

Thank God! Just noticed on the inner sleeve of an old record I'm cleaning...

What a load of dross.

The New Sound of Victor Sylvester!

What's not to like?

Mr Blackpool! You know, he used to do...something...with the drums & pipes of the 1st battalion of the Gordons, with special guests those Magnificent Minstrels.

Hammond Showstoppers! God, remember the Hammond organ? I assume most of the tracks will have a bossa nova beat.

What was the album you actually own, that apparently was bought by people with no taste?

Sargeant Pepper. Just think, I could have had Ken Dodd's I'll Find A Way instead.

Who doesnt like a bit of bagpipe and drums to wind down in the evening?

The Hammond is a superb instrument in the right hands.

'Shrill' is not how I'd describe Piaf's voice, more a chain-smoker's lower register.

I assume that was an early dance album? Probably some early Fat Boy Slim and a few experimental Jules remixes sampling Marlene and The Settlers.[/QUOTE]

You can imagine 'aving it large to that, can't you? Phat beats an dat.

A farking genius. His version of "I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside" is, imo, the standard by which all others are judged, a bit like Jimmy Shand's "Bluebell Polka" being the yardstick for that standard.
