Yes, Record and Popswop Mirror, Incorporating Disc! No wonder they gradually slimmed it down. Bobby, think we're a part of the "younger element" here!
Yeah, I also wondered about his English at times. The phraseology and pronunciation on some of the early material is like someone who uses English as a second language. Soon got used to his style though. Never think about his accent at all when I play that stuff now. It just 'is'.
I had a black and white chequered and striped tank top I still wore in the 90s. Returned to me repaired from Germany in '85. My first wife through it out a decade later: she had to go!
Won't forget them, also Levi 501 jeans, the shrink fit ones. Remember sitting in the bath with them! Also the Levi two tone/tonic trousers and jackets. The v neck jumpers with three stars..mine was black with gold stars. Crombie coats, Doc Martens etc etc. Also had a brief spell of wearing clothes from the film "a clockwork orange." White half mast trousers, white coats...butchers jackets/smocks fitted the bill perfectly and finished off with ox blood Doc's. Leather laces a must! God, we must have looked a sight! That was the thing about England in those days. So many different musical scenes and clothes/attitudes to match.
Wow, yeah, the two-tone trousers! God, I had a pair that were green with flecks of turquoise. Loved 'em! I'm missing pages & pages here. Regardless of the fact it's a weekend/Bank Holiday I've loads of learners' course work to mark. I'm going to have to go back to the beginning and start reading all the posts again. But, in my absence, somebody cut Bob off at the knees with this 'teeny-pop' poll idea. No good will come of it.
Even trench coats became trendy! I had a pair of flared trousers that went from a very light to mid brown; after they had been shortened for me, the bottom of the legs were still fairly light!
From Wikipedia "Tell Him" had its highest UK chart hit—#6—via a 1974 remake by Hello whose producer Mike Leander had cut an earlier version with the Glitter Band which he felt could be improved upon. Hello's "Tell Him" also hit #32 in Germany.[1]. "Tell Him" would return to the UK charts in 1996 when Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash who co-starred in the series Men Behaving Badly hit #25 with their remake credited to Quentin and Ash.
