OldMod67 21st Jun 2021 | | Live MusicJohn's Boys @ The Marquee Club [Soho] | This was the first of two 'secret' gigs rehearsing for the Setting Sons tour. The other was at the Nashville the following night. The second gig had the band listed in some ads as The Eton Rifles and some as La Confiture!

Track 4, possibly my favourite version, replacing the Beach Boys cover (with R. McGuinn's 12 string) back in '86.

The title track of a fantastic album.

|
OldMod67 20th Jun 2021 | | DVDSalem's Lot [1979] - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment | This 2020 release appears identical to my 2006 edition, down to the barcode. The only difference is the addition of an outer slipcase. I will mark as 'own' rather than creating another entry!
|
OldMod67 16th Jun 2021 | | Music Memorabilia[none] - No Mods & No Dinosaurs Badges | Loving the Mod Stinks badges! I recall a mate at school regularly leaning over to my desk with his
'I hate Mods' badge, printed on a torn target logo....
I had a check online as I did recall the dino badge from somewhere. It dates 1977-79 depending on source, to do with Mobil Oil company warning of energy use,
'stamp out dinosaur thinking'.

OldMod67 6th Jun 2021 | | BookJim Marrs - Crossfire | I haven't put an image up for this one as unfortunately despite buying mine on publication, the construction was not particularly strong. Yes, although it's very well read, I'm not a destroyer of books; this one however ended up with me having to apply tape. If another catter has a copy for an image I'd really appreciate it.
By the way, the film JFK was adapted from two books, this being one of them.
|
OldMod67 31st May 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumSquire - Something Old Something New Something Borrowed... | @JohnnyCool - Thanks, I often wondered about the 'untitled' tracks janiejjones mentioned here. I thought it may have been a really early press. In that case my pix may need deleting. I am aware of various editions of this, as it proved popular outside the UK too. My copy is from 1983 (Adrian's Records, Essex)
|
OldMod67 25th May 2021 | | Cassette AlbumVarious Artists - The Sound Of The Suburbs | Added images of in-store promo cassette. Produced by The Hit Factory exclusively for John Menzies to play and promote. The cassette contains excerpts of the songs listed, along with a voiceover to attract customer attention to the tracks and it's the-in with Sounds of the 70s TV show.
|
OldMod67 22nd May 2021 | | Live MusicThe Jam @ Guildhall | @rocket666 Yes, you would have thought! Mind you, you should've seen the state of the gig programme when I came out of the Guildhall. Then there was the surprise skinhead attack, the broken coach windows, the police etc Conversation on Monday at school as to how my weekend was proved interesting....

OldMod67 1st Apr 2021 | | BookVarious Authors - The Mersey Sound | My cover finally added (apologies as usual for my Kindle photos).
My copy is 1983 revised edition, 1986 reprint.
|
OldMod67 1st Apr 2021 | | BookDuncan Wherrett - Jaguar MkII | Added covers
|
OldMod67 1st Apr 2021 | | BookColin Burnham - California Classics | Added my cover, at last!
|
OldMod67 1st Apr 2021 | | BookBrian Aldiss - Hothouse | Yes, my edition states First Sphere Books edition 1969. Reprinted 1971. Reprinted 1973, 1976.
Actually, this is probably as good example as any to support a second date drop down, which would pinpoint the edition, followed by the reprint date of that edition.
|
OldMod67 29th Mar 2021 | | Music MemorabiliaBoomtown Rats - Boomtown Rats Prism Effect Badge | Pretty sure this was a 1978 purchase, from Uptown Records, 99 Commercial Road, Bournemouth.
|
OldMod67 26th Mar 2021 | | Live MusicThe Jam @ Guildhall | Added my ticket from the Portsmouth gig. The half that read 'Jam' was retained, with 'The' being handed back. Only a small grumble, but 39 years on I'm still a bit miffed.
A great 'Friday after school' gig though!
|
OldMod67 19th Mar 2021 | | CD AlbumAnthony Meynell - Live In Tokyo | Hi, not at all! Just glad others still appreciate his music.
Passengers On Trains due soon...
|
OldMod67 18th Mar 2021 | | Music MemorabiliaMarc Bolan - Plastic Pin Backed Badge | These types of badges were quite common when I was a kid.
Basically a large sticker on a plastic circle.
|
OldMod67 18th Mar 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumMarc Bolan And T. Rex - Bolan's Zip Gun | My rubbish photos don't really show up too well, but the L.P. labels are pale blue, the bonus 12" labels white.
|
OldMod67 17th Mar 2021 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Jam - The Jam 'In The City' Album Badge | Found it! It's 1.5", rubbish image from my Kindle camera though..
|
OldMod67 13th Mar 2021 | | CD AlbumAnthony Meynell - Live In Tokyo | Hi JohnnyCool. Mine arrived this morning and I was just about to add it. You've pipped me to the post! I've already got an image ready, taken on my primitive Kindle. Do you want me to put it up or (more likely) can you put up a much clearer one than me?
|
OldMod67 13th Mar 2021 | | BookThomas Hardy - Selected Stories Of Thomas Hardy | Cover added
|
OldMod67 5th Mar 2021 | | TVSledge Hammer! (1986 - 1988) | I used to love this, taping them regularly on vhs here in England. I'm not sure if I caught them all though.
|
OldMod67 3rd Mar 2021 | | BookBournemouth And The Telephone 1886 - 1986 | These were free, mine coming from my father who worked for GPO/ Post Office Telecommunications / British Telecom for 44 years.
Printed by Fir Tree Press, Wimborne, Dorset.
|
OldMod67 3rd Mar 2021 | | BookVarious Authors - Bournemouth | The front cover shows Kinson stores and Post Office, around 1905. This building is still here (Oddfellows Hall) and in non-lockdown times, currently home to my barbers.
|
OldMod67 3rd Mar 2021 | | BookVarious Authors - Bournemouth | I have just popped this, another of my old local books on. I discovered today that co-author Ian Andrews passed away on January 13th this year. I knew he had been very ill for some time, but being furloughed I'm out of the loop, so to speak. I met Ian at the end of the eighties in his role with Poole Historical Trust, whom I later ordered a lot of books from, starting back in the bookshop's Ottakar's days. Until he fell ill he always dropped off the stock personally, usually the following day. A mine of information, an important link in local history and local bookselling will no longer be there on my return in April.
