Most of them are crap ... I've blogged about this before, I think. I don't know that song - is it on Spotify?<br /><br />Sue - I agree, though that radiogram wasn't surround sound. <br /> <br />Rog - now you've got me craving for Frankie Laine and Johnnie Ray.

(on the car radio and live on the piano) So it was very nice when my classically trained Grandmother confirmed what I thought which was that the Beatles music was rather good. (I'm sure she would have taken to Jazz and blues too but I don't think she ever got to hear much)<br />And later I had a radio of my own with which I listened to Radio Caroline under the bed covers.mighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-63371079608653346142012-01-05T13:18:26.806+00:002012-01-05T13:18:26.806+00:00I had Guy Mitchell's "Singing the Blues&q...I had Guy Mitchell's "Singing the Blues" on 78.<br /><br />I remember advertising it and selling it through the small ads in NME but when I went to get it I found my brother had sat on it.<br /><br />I still sing "Ghost Riders in the Sky" to the annoyance of anyone within earshot.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-90596363732656434462012-01-05T11:32:49.413+00:002012-01-05T11:32:49.413+00:00I think also it taught us the value of quality sou...I think also it taught us the value of quality sound as well. I am sure that even with the speakers of the 1950's/60's, the quality must have been better than what the youngsters these days hear on those tiny ear thingies or the inferior computer speakers.<br /><br />I love listening to music on 'surround sound' from good speakers - close your eyes and you are there.Lady Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925306135979712974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-55926304186902273592012-01-05T10:00:15.286+00:002012-01-05T10:00:15.286+00:00Brilliant post, Tim.
