Guest skorpiano Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Early 80's, at a gig with Soul Sam. Totally un-interested crowd, Sam gets bored and tells me, rock and roll is his true passion, plays a tune called 'Barking Up The Wrong Tree', (can't remember the artist) pure 50's rock and roll. Crowd still totally un-interested. Any more for any more? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Eddie Hubbard Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I heard Richard S. play a David Bowie 12" promo on RCA in Mr M's during the early session once .It was during the time that Richard worked for RCA and he would often try out new stuff in the early sessions .Think the track was from Bowie's " Heroes " set , but can't remember the title .Also I seem to remember hearing a track by Cream during my first visit to The Casino in Jan 1975 - anybody got any ideas what that could be ? !!

Paul R Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 A few times down in Plymouth in the Late '70s I played Sam The Sham & The Pharohs, "I'm In With The Out Crowd".

Tomangoes Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Scratchy is indeed a crazy record, and even though its an 'early classic' how the hell did it ended up getting played? Cats Eyes - Life, another weirdo tune. Once had a record called 'big limas' by the Cobra Kings on Black Gold, and also 'Soul Kiss' by Dizzie Gillespie on Perception. Always thought these were border line for playing at a nighter if stuff like Scratchy got accepted. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simsy Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Don't know if anyone ever played it out, but there was a track (dunno artist or title) but something about "I'd rather go to jail without bail" ..

Geordiejohnson Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 strange but i heard these played theme from Joe 90 theme from the fantastic plastic machine and third window from the right Now why do i think no one will think playing those was weird, i did and thought they were pathetic to boot, especially when Dean barlow was a big rock n roll tune and is still played regularly on the rock n roll circuit.
