Unit 4 + 2 were at number one this week in 1965 with their fab single Concrete and Clay. Love this video shot on the Barbican building site youtu.be/zstZkoGyZS4
@Birmingham_81 Brilliant. Love this song and the video.
@Birmingham_81 Great video. Month of my birth so all great No 1s! Ticket to Ride next week I think. BTW that track is really evocotive of working men's clubs in the 70s. Maybe a standard for the Saturday night bands?
@Birmingham_81 What a unusual name for a 60’s beat combo. Sounds more like a 1989 UK Rave Act
@Birmingham_81 I know that song very well. I've never seen that video. I reckon Roddie F sounds like that guitarist.
@Birmingham_81 Adorable mid 60s second-tier pop. See also The Ivy League youtu.be/M9T9A5Jpt04?si…
@Birmingham_81 Superb 👌 That rhythm may have been nabbed for the Dixons Show Me and the verse of Come on wotsit too 😄
@Birmingham_81 I've a soft spot for songs about love in the face of the apocalypse. Stand By Me is another fine example. Bat Out of Hell, too.
@Birmingham_81 Just checking if Barbican resident @robert_elms has seen this. @RobertElms
@Birmingham_81 Always a great number, but love that video.
@Birmingham_81 The video is so old it's a British Pathé film 😁 Also love the brown cardigan. Every old man in the 70s had one of these I think.
