I only remember a couple Johnny Cash gospel LPs and a bunch of 78's. "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor<br />(On The Bedpost Over Night)" rings a bell...<br /><br />I guess I'll have to go back in time and pick up some S&G. Always loved the title track. Forgot that Larry Knechtel (of Bread!) played piano. I love Bread! I tried to squeeze 'Best of Bread' onto my 125, but illegal. Believe it or not, I've never heard the original version of "Only Living Boy." It's wonderful. I only know the reverent EBTG take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z76QNVDQdKk<br /><br />NOTE: I've noticed a few voting inconsistencies in Di's list. 2 votes for Nik Kershaw (bald), 2 votes for Richard Ashcroft (douche), 2 votes for Rufus Wainwright (gay), Miracle Mile at #2? Norah Jones gets in, but no votes for pretty-boy "JONES"???!!! Couldn't even squeeze you in at #14d?<br />Someone deserves a spanking...Tim Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089890504560756715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-78200104733652074332013-05-15T09:46:41.778+01:002013-05-15T09:46:41.778+01:00The Spinners!

Their collection consisted on a spinners lp (there version of sloop john b beats the bbs hands down!) a peter skellern lp , a compilation beatles ballads (thus my love of slow sad songs) , oliver and jesus Christ superstar (thus my strange fascination with musicals and concept lps). Our record player was notorious for skipping. Many a time I'd take a single back to boots only to stand embarrassed as it played perfectly on the store hi fi Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-25225398327995614112013-05-15T08:58:46.495+01:002013-05-15T08:58:46.495+01:00Thanks Seamus; fixed.
