Just noticed the opening shot: Sado's Barbers. I used to get 'sent there' as a kid for the 'short back and sides'. No naughty mags to seek out though! Very good!
My mother worked in" Thorpes record bar" and in "Thorpes travel" I still have a number of records bought from Jan Thorpe,who became a freind,on passing my driving test she presented me with a copy of "Thus spake Zarathustra" which remains in the ecollection...I still remember sitting on a board in "Sado's" to have my hair cut when I was about 5 years old...
Curiousity made me go and have a listen. It's actually pretty good. Catchy, quite insightful, it certainly would have been a hit. A more than one dimensional song.
The B-side 'Help Me Mummy's Gone' was a far superior track. A terrific slice of freakbeat/psych. Incidentally, the cartoon shown instead of 'The Addicted Man' on Juke Box Jury was 'Tales of Hoffnung: The Music Academy'.
@JohnBailey-ux9vv Just had a look. It appears mintish. I looked at his other stuff and I'd say he's overpriced. Base that on the Northern Soul 45 he has at £6750. Probably twice the going rate. It hasn't sold. I checked Popsike [actual sold 45s] for value which I feel is reasonably reliable. Back in 75/76 myself and two mates got into Indigo Studios in Manchester. We'd heard they had 45s. Upstairs there were thousands of UK demos. He wanted 20p each. We got maybe 300 60's Northern Soul 45s. At the time wasn't clued up on the collectible beat/psych stuff so left it. Passed info onto someone we knew and he got tons of stuff. Not sure where they'd come from originally. Johnny Hamp mentioned. I think Top of the Pops may have broadcast from Withy Grove in Manchester early on. We did know enough to buy say Beatles/ Stones/ Who demos but none there. No Tamla Motown either or the earlier TMG releases on Stateside etc. I have a mate who lives overseas. There's a radio station there again full of UK demos. He got in there but they wouldn't sell. He took some pictures. Amazing really. He's going to keep trying.
Just shows how pathetically censorious our so called 'hip' DJ's were back then not to mention our establishment. Purple Haze was out over here in 67 to name just one. Ok It was a decent song but it was hardly on The Velvet Underground's level was it. By the way I'm not even going to give a certain repugnant 'someone' any mention whatsoever. The longest time he rots away out of sight the better, until every man, woman and child forgets who he ever was.
The plural of group was in the original article, a typo no doubt. The AI voice was from Eleven Labs and was impossible to get it to stay consistent, morphing into an American voice, despite numerous variations of the settings. It would have been better to use my own voice but I wanted it to sound like an old BBC newsreader.
That which will / should remain CLUNKED AND CLICKED . judging anyone should be a warning of What's a foot recently . GOLDEN BROWN SINGING IN DISGUISE .
saville was revolting, disgusting, and horrific. 🍻
Jimmy Saville describing both himself and the BBC perfectly there.
Their castle pudding was said to be mediocre.
There goes Savile, talking about his two favourite things: himself and the Corporation that covered up his disgusting crimes.
Well I guess Saville was adequately placed to know!
Saville the peroxide ponce! What an absolute monster.
Great , remembering as the most banned by BBC artist was George Formby .
Then Judge Dread in the 1970s.

I too remember going to Sado's as a kid. Have a look at my blog post mitchamhistorynotes.com/2023/10/15/sado-barber/

That takes me back! "Short back and sides, no cream or grease".
I remember this, I used to work with the girlfriend of one of the guys in the group
Got a compilation by the Game almost up there with Creation , the Action etc.

I had never heard of them until this - off to have a look at their back catalogue now...!
I knew Terry Spencer and Tony Bird since I was a kid when I lived on the Bordergate estate in Mitcham.
This explains an ancient joke by Michael Palin on Do Not Adjust Your Set. I don't think the kids in the audience understood it either.
I'm intrigued. Do you recall the joke?
Anyone got a copy? Probably worth a fortune now.
Let's hear it then!

@@mitchamnotes Thanks
Now then, now then.
Revolting, disgusting, horrific - that's exactly how they describe Jimmy Saville!
The B-side 'Help Me Mummy's Gone' was a far superior track. A terrific slice of freakbeat/psych. Incidentally, the cartoon shown instead of 'The Addicted Man' on Juke Box Jury was 'Tales of Hoffnung: The Music Academy'.
I love that song !! The start of UK Punk rock it felt. ;)
It's on Spotify. It really is a crap record. I bet not one had sold until they made a fuss.
Interesting to know that it is on Spotify. For a 57 year old record, it's not that bad!
Mitcham common. I always saw Mitcham as South London. SW just after Tooting Broadway.
They are a great freakbeat group.
Lived in Mitcham, Surrey off Tamworth Lane but well after these lads. Yeah a den of vice everywhere. No sign of Saville thank firk.😂
Savile describing something as Revolting? you couldn't make it up
I think it’s called projection. Saville morally outraged by a pop song; a guy who did unspeakable things to children and even dead bodies!
I found that it had nothing to do with drugs. Simon Dee? I heard that Susan Stranks and not Simon Dee on the panel
Jimmy Saville was the stink of the Stinks !!! A Genuine Pole Cat !
Well talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
They’d have loved Junkhead, by Alice in Chains then, a mere 25 years later. How different things were back then…
THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED COCAINE HABIT BLUES BY MEMPHIS BLUES BAND 40 YEARS EARLIER AROUND 1930
£600 for an original copy in December 2023.

The bootleg
epress should be out soon!

I'm still Waiting for the man.
Good gracious.
Good grief - bloody hell!
😢Rainbow vhaser
Lol. Some of the records had gone out to dealers.
Saville.he can talk.the worst ever.😮
Awful AI narration..."The Game Beat Groups".. then the voice changes after the lyrics into an American accent. Dreadful!
The plural of group was in the original article, a typo no doubt. The AI voice was from Eleven Labs and was impossible to get it to stay consistent, morphing into an American voice, despite numerous variations of the settings. It would have been better to use my own voice but I wanted it to sound like an old BBC newsreader.
@@mitchamnotes I'm sure your own voice would have been better.. and more personal :)
@@kevh9497 point taken.

Anything Jimmy Saville thinks is disgusting is probably good.
