The Cooperage

It was sad to see The Cooperage on Newcastle’s Quayside closed.

Goin’ Back

Carolyn & Sylvia reminded me of what a great version Dusty Springfield did of this song…

Carole King & Gerry Goffin wrote it..

Also covered by The Byrds…

Larry Lurex (aka Freddie Mercury)…

It was first recorded by Goldie (from Goldie & The Gingerbreads)…

Many others have covered it too.

We Love The Pirate Stations

Was the band that recorded this,The Roaring 60s, an early incarnation of Family called The Roaring Sixties? It could be, but I’m sure I’ve read elsewhere it was actually The Ivy League. The Beach Boys style harmonies suggest the latter to me, (Update, the close up of the label at about 2 minutes confirms my thoughts)…
