Summer 75, I was 7 years old and I was watching tv on my own one Saturday afternoon. I saw this group , B & W footage, and I was absolutely mesmerised and was in a daze all weekend. An art teacher at school the following Monday informed me that is was a group called The Beatles singing Twist and Shout. Corny, maybe, but i'll never forget the impact of that moment in front of the tv.


people tend to forget that back then it was easy to get hit out of the blue, I remember seeing Hawkwind on TOTP and beinf totally mesmerised. And I dont know about your parents, by 68 you probably had parents who didn't listen to the light programme or what ever it was but apart from the occassional bit on the telly I heard absolutely no rock/pop at all until i started buying records. I went from a couple of Disney soundtracks and a thunderbirds TV21 record to the Beatles & Black Sabbath in about a fortnight, blew my mind completely, never really got back to reality since.
