It's great to go back in time...

Having been traumatised with Emmerdale & Corrie tonight, and then reminiscing with Cilla, I thought I'd search YouTube for some memories from my past.

Have spent a very enjoyable hour with Bobby Vee, The Crystals, The Righteous Brothers, The Ronnettes etc., etc. I thought you might like this one from the Shangri-Las with an awesome motor bike rider...



Just those simple pleasures mean so much.

One night back in 1972, I was aimlessly turning the radio frequency dial on the medium wave, and suddenly, I was hearing this (it charted as a re-release that year) from what turned out to be Radio Luxembourg. For whatever reason, I'd never heard anything like it before, and it was one of the three great WTF moments of the year for me (the other two being Alice Cooper's School's Out, and Bowie doing Starman, both on ToTP).

I must say, if I'd encountered Leader of the Pack by way of this preposterous video, I don't think it would have made such a positive impression - the pictures being so much better on the radio (as we boring old geezers are apt to say).

But back on topic! Did your Ronettes include this? (not the familiar version)

remnant ... I did all my school homework listening to Radio Luxembourg, om my treasured radio... and ANY song from those days brings back really happy memories. I just want to go back to those days!

Cue sound of motorised lawn mowers..Re dubbed  
Many a time was asked for this ilk during my stint as a DJ (long long time ago when records were scratchy and made of vinyl)
