Community Cup last Sunday. This was the theme song of the Megahertz. And hell, did it sound great blasting out over the sound system. Took me right back to when I first heard it 1972. Outside the chippy at my local shops in Blackburn South. Just as Double Barrell and the ska songs that started filtering through seemed to come from another world this song did pretty much the same thing.
It was like a machine was playing the instruments. Just pounds away. Two drums tight. And I couldn't work out why is Gary's solo record and all he shouted was "Hey" a few times. Especially when I read it was about the history of Rock and Roll. How fantastic..summing up the history with the word "Hey" Turned out all the lyrics were on side one Rock and Roll Part 1. Which I didn't get to hear for months until a mate bought the record. Too late the instrumental was embedded too well.
Yeah Gary Glitter turned out to be a creep but some of that stuff he recorded was totally brilliant.
Hey!
