YouTube video by DC5 fan Dave Clark & Friends Southern Man 2010 remaster

But the curveball of covers of this is definitely Dave Clark (of Dave Clark Five fame) who made a solo album with a slightly psychedelic version of this (it's a bit Magic Bus).

Marsha Hunt also did a half-decent version.

YouTube video by videocurios Fairly Secret Army episode 1 -Geoffrey Palmer - comedy channel 4 - 1984

Do you know about Fairly Secret Army, a C4 comedy that ran for two seasons. Sort of a spin off of Reggie Perrin (kinda), totally about right wing conspiracists etc.

I've got both of Beckett’s books (think one is about 70s, and another 80s?), vv good :)

Oh wow, I had no idea, Francis had written something about it. Loved his Marx and Driberg books. Thanks for the tip.

Is there a book that covers that period of paranoia in the 70s?
Ian Gilmour: Conservatives do not worship democracy. For them majority rule is a device ...and if it is leading to an end that is undesirable or is inconsistent with itself, then there is a theoretical case for ending it

DJ history podcasts. In the bag, Greg Wilson. We're starting to film some of them too, so keep your eyes peeled on YouTube. first one is Greg, then Jamz Supernova, old-skool, nu-skool.

Give this a listen, from the late 1960s through to today, this guy has done it all.

YES.

To be fair to the selector, they only had Spring Records releases to choose from, so it wasn't an endless bounty of choice.

Ah ok, gotcha. Yeah, we mentioned it in Last Night, I still have the photocopy of that piece in a loft somewhere!

Can’t work out which is the og post 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is now SOLD OUT.

We’ll be leaving a handful on the door next Saturday, but get there early to guarantee entry.

YouTube video by SeagreenSerenade DAVE BALL strict tempo 1983

Got the very sad news that Dave Ball has died. I still remember the awe of hearing Memorabilia for the first time in Leeds Warehouse in 1981. The man who reimagined northern soul with synths, made a mad solo tune and loads of great gear as the Grid. RIP.

I remember that gig, though I didn't go. Notoriously loud, I believe.

These two used to help us decorate when they were kids. They’re now both grown up, that’s how long we’ve been partying there ;)

Shout out to @djhistory.bsky.social for unearthing my old Mystery Mix which I recorded back in 2009. I can't remember exactly what's on it, and I don't think anyone on the DJH forum worked out the full tracklist, but it's a jazz-rock-prog-avant-funk kind of affair www.mixcloud.com/djhistory/dj...
