There's a black and white live version of " Be Bop A Lu La " on YouTube that is just terrific.

Thanks TS!

So you're a collector too?

That list was just a wandering through youtube from each selection they came up with

It can make a really good route when you let it take you along

I'll have a listen to the black and white version

In the meantime have a good Christmas

I used to be a collector until I got divorced and my wife got awarded MY record collection as part of the divorce settlement ! Then they say women get a rough deal ? I was allowed the option of buying it back off her ! I couldn't afford that.

So that was it. I was too old to start again after 30 years of collecting. I now have most of the stuff I had On CD.

There was a programme on TV years ago called " John Lennon's juke box. He had a portable juke box the size of a small suitcase that held about 20 singles. When you think what you can put a match box sized device you have to smile.

Anyway one of the records he had on it was " Be Bop A Lu La " and they showed the clip I referred to. That was the first time I ever saw it but I play it all the time since then. It's  Gene and the Blue Caps doing a fantastic live version. It really is a terrific bit of old film. They blow the roof off the place.

Merry Xmas to you and your collection.

I've had a Christmas cheese album.... but now they're all playing bingo in the front room I've a glass of esprit de pavie and the sounds I want.....

I love my vinyl player.... but.... the clarity and depth to these contraptions is fabulous.

Bill Nelson..... remains one of the most underrated guitarists/songwriters in Britain.

And to you TS! I'll send you a message when I've got a moment!

 

Phil Spector's Xmas album on a loop at our house today. " Back To Mono ! "

The Gene Vincent clip is off a show called " Town Hall Party ". If you like Eddie Cochran he's on some other clips from the same show.
