Snap on CCBB, still on the shelf somewhere, possibly near Ray Charles or the Clash.
We also have some Womble albums (yes, two) My girls wanted them. However the youngest one went on to be a DJ and also a punk-rock musician… (Mike Batt’s influence? I think not…)
Came out around my birthday in 1967, mum and dad bought me a mono copy. Worth a few bob now I think. I gave it to my brother. I believe he still has it.
My sister had a long play single of theirs around 1971, Inside Looking out was the A side. This was probably my first experience of “heavy” music and turned me onto bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
Great memories.
I hate to say it but the way he’s standing the one on the left seems to have had an “accident” in his trouser’s, and, well the less said about the one on the right the better!
Yes, me too!
I saw Roy Wood in concert about twenty years ago, and he still looked just the same!
The performance was brilliant and he had everyone standing up in their seats and dancing and singing! Magic!!
That’s Roy Wood, lives sort of local, near Ashbourne in a converted pub.
Little story, my wife who worked in retail most of her working life used to do the banking near the end of the day. She stood waiting to get served at the counter when she had this person come standing behind her, she couldn’t help turning round as she heard the clumpy footsteps on the wooden floor.
She immediately started at the feet looking up at him, studded cowboy boots with pointed metal toe caps, black leather trousers and leather bikers style jacket with the tassles hanging from the arms. Sporting pink streaks in those flowing locks and a pink beard with red round rim less specs, yep It was Roy. Quite frightening sight but she said he seemed a nice chap.
