This morning I experienced a wave of nostalgia which made me think about the music I used to listen to on the juke box in the Marmion pub in Tamworth, Staffordshire in the mid-seventies :

Soul Finger, by the Bar Kays
..............

Joe, maybe the landlord didn't have the records changed too often. The Bar Kays did Soul Finger in 1967.

Alec.

You can't beat a nice drop of Southern.

was it Smiths that used to have the booths where you could listen to 45s before buying them, or not  :-[

When I were but a stripling of 17 I worked Saturdays at the local Co-op and they had booths for listening to music in - limit 3 toons (and long before the days of headphones) :D

There were booths in a couple of places I used to frequent. I don't think they were record shops though  :hmmm:

In Tamworth we were a few years behind the times  :)

I'll never forget a young lad putting Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing compares 2 U' on time after time while he cried into his beer. Poor devil, but it bugged the hell out of the rest of us after the third play.

My local had the Hollies "The air that I breath" that was in the charts at the time. Unfortunately it stuck about half way in. It was popular with the punters but you needed to give the jukebox a "gentle" nudge at the right time..
Frijid Pink were popular in the discos I ran in the 70s
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do."
