Ha! Oh that's not a good look, I don't think it ever has been!


'Illya Kuryakin' was a hero of mine when I was a kid!

In fact, looking at that image now, it was a look from 1980 in 1966!

David McCallum made a couple of great singles, too.

False memory on my part. I was thinking more of the David McCallum "Invisible Man" / Inspiral Carpets bowl cut. He looks pretty cool in your picture.

He wouldn't have looked out of place onstage with Cabaret Voltaire circa 1980! =8-]

Great minds .. I was thinking he would look good in a Bundeswehr t shirt!

He really should have played a German in Colditz instead of that character that was always getting into trouble with the guards.

Never a huge fan, I always found them a bit 'up-tight' somehow. Love the 'Poor Man's Moody Blues' though. Barclay James Harvest are well worth a try.

They've been mentioned in a few threads. Live Tapes, Live 1974, Everyone Is Everybody Else and Octoberon are all good places to start.


I like a bit of BJH every now and then, but to me they just don't have that psychedelic edge the MBs have.

This is a trivial aside which has nowt whatsoever to do with their music, but when I was a teen I lived in the same village as Justin Haywayd, and his rather impressive three-storey house was on my paper round.. Never actually met him, although he always tipped quite generously at Christmas.

Ha ha! Now that was Freudian slip if I ever made one ... but I'm going to be a pedantic, humourless bastard and edit it out.
