The Sandman Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 The shop your talking about was called "Listen" and a very cool record shop it was. CRIME OF THE CENTURY...Love the piano on the track School How can anyone mention 'Listen' and then babble on about liking S*p*rtr*mp..........................?

The Sandman Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 The 70's was something else for music. When you look how it progressed from 1970 throw to 1979. Has their really ever been another decade quite like it. Certainly not after the 70's. The 60's has to be recognised for the fact that new music was being introduced. To say a particular album is the best in the 70's is a very hard thing to do however an album I still play on a regular basis is the Steve Miller Band..Book Of Dreams. Luv it'a Pish, everyone knows that 'The Clash' is the greatest album of all time................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernard albrecht Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 New Order played one of the best and worst gigs I’ve ever been at. On the last tour when they played the Barras every song they played was a beauty and the atmosphere was incredible. Everyone was having a great time. Then they had a few words with each other and f**ked off. Just this sudden abrupt end after about an hour ‘cos they started arguing or couldn’t be bothered to play on. Was feckin’ ragin’. Saw Pat Nevin coming out of the moshpit at that gig which was a bit bizarre to say the least. Defo be trying for a ticket for that one, though. Was less than impressed that night myself Howard. Never thought I'd ever see the words Pat Nevin and moshpit in the same sentence....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Aye, it was, But StereoONE - that store was like a treasure trove for me Does that ABBO group cover any Midnight Oil songs? Your right , I done the dj thing and spent loads of dosh in there. Gordon could always find the not so easy stuff on the market and gave me quite a few whilte label promotional records. I was always very grateful for as many I played months before becoming hits. Also got quite a few back stage passes from Gordon for smaller gigs in Glasgow. It is a shame what happens to Stereo One for Gordon was passionate about music. an ex dj himself.. Still Listen was a very good shop leaning more to rock than pop........

NO f**kIN CHANCE Ach suppose it takes all kinds of pour souls to make up the world. Fun Lovin Criminals good taste again Greig. First time I seen them was in Irvine. They were great however I never seen so many young people completely out of their tits as I did at that gig , and I take in a lot of gigs up and down the country. Must be a very big drug problem down there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was at that gig as well, Ian. I didn’t mean to be, mind you; I used to play fives down at the Magnum and turned up with my gear as per usual that night. Dey’re ain’t no’ sacca t’nite, murrafugga. Oh aye, and Stereo 1 is responsible for a lot of the albums that kick started my now extensive album collection. The guy Gordon, did he not work in the Record Factory as well? If so then yes, I remember him and his attitude towards music. Mind you, there were a few guys like that in that shop. Ah, the memories.

EL NOMBRE Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Was he doing a gig to celebrate his 65th? Predictable. I'm listening to Andres Segovia playing a catchy little Fugue by the John Lennon of his day Johan Sebastian Bach.Get yer musical laughing gear round that then peeps.
