This was a big song in Blackburn South in 1968 especially in my room which I shared with my brother. For a while there it was my number one song. I can still see the yellow label spinning on the turntable. I had just started high school. I was listening to music through one ear on my crystal set. The rest of the time I heard what my brother played . Then one day there was this big old record player in the living room. Somebody didn't want it anymore. It looked like something from the fifties. It had a draw that popped out for your long players. It had a cartridge the size of a baby's fist. It sounded like the doors of Asgard had opened up. No doubt it was more a piece of furniture than a sound system. But it quickly became my record player and it was where my record collecting started. When my brother got married he gave me a bunch of singles and sold me his albums. probably the classiest and best of the singles was "Gimme Little Sign".
