I didnt start going in the Nelson until about 1972, It was OK then. One of the best Jukeboxes in Sheffield if I remember.

The best thing about it was that it had imports on it, so you would get tracks like "Communication Breakdown" '"Freebird" and Springsteen's "Rosalita" on it.

It's difficult to imagine now, but it was hard to get hold of some of these records. There was no internet to download from. LPs were expensive, and taping onto cassettes was still in its infancy. And as for the BBC Radio?? Well, the less said the better. Suffice to say that even in those days, John Peel was exception to a very dull rule.

I will always hold fond memories of both these places because of the music

The tracks I always put on were.

 

Paranoid - Grand Funk Railroad,

 

Mckenna Mendohlson Mainline the one with the following lyrics:

 

I think I'm Losing my marbles

And I think that it,s a darn gone shame

There are so many deranged people

there driving me, there driving me insane

 

You dont get lyrics like that anymore

 

Groundhogs - Cherry Red

I wonder if that had anything to with Violet Mays being just around the corner.

[Bushbaby]

Possibly....

I bought my first Billie Holliday album at Violet's

"Better watch out" is the one I remember - Goes something like "You'd better watch out baby - 'cause your man's about to come!" in a gruff drawling voice.

They don't make em like that anymore

Nicely written Bushbaby.

 

Not only do I still have my original LPs by Yes, Family, Iron Butterfly, Alex Harvey, Mott The Hoople, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull etc, but in many cases have upgraded them to CD as well.

 

 

Ah, a fellow Yes fan. Ive still got Close to the Edge on vinyl as I used to have the poster on my bedroom wall.

 

I went to see them in Birmingham a couple of years ago, they were excellent.

Anyone remember seeing the Alan Bown Set at the Mucky Duck? Brilliant band and produced some tremendous albums. If memory serve me the sax player went on to form Supertramp and of course the lead singer was the one and only now departed Robert Palmer.
