Funny how the "novelty records" seem to make such a big impression on everybody . . . Bohemian Rhapsody's kind of a "novelty record" for that matter!

Dave & Ansell Collins on top of the pops. Great music. Gave me a love of reggae to this day

I remember being scrubbed up and taken into Glasgow to see "Paint your waggon". When it first came out. When would that have been? cheers.

Last train to Clarkesville by the Monkees. Be about 1966 and we were in Singapore. My sister had bought it and played in non-stop. I jigged about and sang at the top of my 3 year old voice. Not sure if I really remember it or whether I remember it because there is cine film and reel to reel tape evidence....

Something that DOES stick in my mind (the stuff of my nightmares for years) was being baby-sat for by my sister and her boyfirend and they were watching some film reviewy type programme (or it might have been the whole film) and Mahler by Ken Russell was on. I totally remember his wife, dancing on top of his coffin (rather provocatively if my memory serves me correctly) Mahler (Robert Powell) was in said coffin NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!! and trundling into the fiery furnace and it ended with a little box of ashes with two eyeballs sat neatly on top of them.

I cried for weeks and I'm yet to see the film!




Oh and I did a mean 'Step Inside, Love' by Cilla :-D

Standing in my playpen,listening to the radio and River deep,Mountain high blasting forth!

I remember being amazed at this fantastic sound and still think it sounds amazing today when i hear it!
I also remember Keith west-excerpt from a teenage opera quite well.

Later i vividly remember my brother playing Life On Mars to me and turning the Radiogram up loud at the end to listen to the phone ringing and trying to make out the conversation!

Actually my first favorite song was probably "theme from Star Wars" -- kinda the same thing, only catchier!

Junior Choice and all the old faves, My Bruvver being one that stands out, along with a bunch of Bernard Cribbins tunes, also had an album of Alice In Wonderland that had Frankie Howard on it, i was totally fascinated with his voice. Also had the Mary Poppins soundtrack, and i used to play Feed The Birds over & over, didn't like the chirpy cockernee stuff but i loved a good dirge.Also After The Goldrush must have been imprinted on my mind because i knew it as soon as i heard it on lp much later
On TOTP earliest memories were of Slade,T Rex, Alice Cooper doing Schools Out with sword, Nazareth, and the best one was Hawkwind doing Silver Machine, that really struck a chord[probably the same one repeatedly]
Another vivid memory is Mungo Jerry on crackerjack or similar, IIRC there were quite a few odd groups on kids TV
Banana Splits, Flashing Blade,Robinson Crusoe, best stop now before i drown in nostalgia
As my parents listened to Radio 2 [i assume, it certainly wasn't Radio 1] popular music was a bit thin on the ground, so it was like a bolt out of the blue if something good turned up

Kids today with their MTV and their pod-i's don't know how lucky they are

Hehe. It is a bloody shame that there isn't a kids' pop show anymore.
My daughter is growing up in a different world indeed.
Cheggers Plays Pop? Can you imagine something like that only with Richard Bacon presenting and 'Girls ain't allowed to have split ends or be 1lb overweight' on it?
Boohoo sob!
