Re: The Old Timers' Bootleg-Shopping-Recollections Thread

Part 1: I just couldn't afford to buy real bootleg records back in 1983. They cost anything between ten and fifteen pounds and there was no way I could afford that so I made do with tapes that the vendors would record of each illicit album.

Re: Misheard Beatle Lyrics

I might also say that I still don't have a clue what the words are to at least 50% of Bad Boy. I'm tempted to look them up, but that would spoil the fun. Better tell your Mama you better do what she said Get to that barber shop and get that hair cut off your head Goose to Chuck Berry and you wed it...

Re: Old TV programmes

This is great - another South Bank show I remember watching and had forgotten about. It's like the Nimbus 1980s time machine - for your next trick, please can you magic up some full sized 'Marathon' bars, Kelloggs Special K like it used to be, and some cans of Holsten Pils... :mrgreen: (I'm on a he...

Re: I Am The Walrus (new remix)
