Better with age...pity about the dodgy perch
« on: July 22, 2014, 10:14:15 PM »
Evenin' All...

While sorting out some of my playlists on my iphone...came across this clip from 1967 in Melbourne...

Loved Ones - The Loved One


Then, a few decades latter...and I reckon Gerry (vale 2005), got better...

The Loved Ones, singing, The Loved One


...gave the song a soul :rockon

...now where did I put that Blackfeather album :think1

Cheers the can ;-)

Interesting.......................................... when Inxs released this tune, I think off there first album I didn't realize at the time that it was indeed a cover. Quite amazing many songs from 60.s and 70.s are being re-released. My daughter doesn`t believe me when I tell her that was recorded in 20 30 40 years ago. How the wheel turns..and turns................................ :wht11 :thumb

Great finds, Greencan.  Interesting to compare the MVid technology after 47 years.  The lip-synching and miming was dreadful, that's for sure.
When I was in High School back then, I used to record these songs from the floor radio via a soldered pair to the big speaker into the mic socket of my National 1 7/8 ips (inches per second) reel-to-reel tape recorder (3" reels, BASF tape in red cases).  I really believed music tastes etc would move on and I'd only be able to listen to these greats from my recorded collection.  Classics like Herb Alpert, The Shadows, Il Silenzio and a great many more.
Thankfully I was wrong.  For one thing, there are radio stations that only play those songs here in the 21st century!     :grin     ++
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
