You're probably in the same demographic as my sister. That's how I heard all these songs originally. :p

"Mrs.Brown" was fun, but I was partial to their version of "Sea Cruise".

Probably their best song, IMHO, was "I'm Into Something Good." I haven't heard that one in a while, I'll have to dig it up somewhere.

Look at us hijaking the thread with Hermit-talk. Has there been a thread more worthy of derailing than this one? :)

I agree. Great minds think alike! :D

The very first 45 record I bought when I started to get into rock and roll music as a teenager was "Red Rubber Ball."

Man, I still know every single word. :embarrassed2:

You wanna funny one? I think the first 45 I bought was "The Biplane Evermore". My sister was buying "Hey Jude", if I remember correctly. I think she made the better choice. :embarrassed2:

The first album I ever purchased was at a yard sale, The Beach Boys "All Summer Long". First one I bought "new" was Meatloaf, "Bat Out Of Hell".

Ah.... fun stuff.

I have all my original Beetles albums -- every single one. :cool:
 
Mark Griffin and Bill Stock are always upmost peofessional at what they do. I'm sure that whatever decision they made was thoroughly thought through and legitimate.
BCA CSI Rocks!!!
 
To start, reading this thread was 15 minutes of wasted time I will never get back. I don't understand something. Someone gets kicked out and whines about it so he can get back in to somewhere he is not wanted? What kind of idiot does this? Is this normal behavior? I got fired from plenty of jobs but never tried to petition the other employees to help get me back. You are not wanted. Get it through your thick head already!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I wasn't in LP-buying mode when they were first released, but I eventually collected every US released LP, on it's original label no less. I have a White Album with the number stamp on it (no posters, dammit) and I think I have the red and blue albums on red and blue vinyl, if memory serves... Of course they're in a crate that's been in the back of my garage for 16 years now. Probably not in the best shape, sigh.

(big-time Beatle nut. BIG-TIME :D )

JAM, talking about 45 records is going to confuse a lot of the posters on here. You might want to explain what you are talking about.

1)Calling the 9-Ball or surrendering ball in hand when under the BCAPL Rules 9-Ball is not a call pocket game. 2)Over ten times on the BCAPL Web-Site the following statement is made 30 players and 6 teams of 4 players each make up a league the only place that it says anything else is for signing up a new league where you don't have 30 players yet but expect to before league starts in Sept. 3) The fact that the Web-Site states that the new rule book (Oct. 1, 2007) will govern ALLBCAPL play. and Mark Griffin adds the new book will ensure consistent application of the rules regardless of whether you play in a local, state, regional or national event. That includes the game called 9-Ball.

LOL! Well, I sure ain't talking about a .45 colt revolver. That's for sure. :p

In the '60s, before the digital age, there were 45 records, small little black disks that played on record players. There were two sides to the black disk, with a song on each side. Teenagers would go out and buy 45 records because they were cheaper than buying a whole album. Plus, you could buy your favorite song and enjoy it, playing it over and over again.

Wow! I'm realizing that by me explaining this, I am convincingly now an antique, since youth of today don't know what 45s are. :embarrassed2:

The middle of the 45 records required a plastic thingie to hold them in the record player because for some reasons they had big holes in them, unlike the record albums which had a little hole in them about the diameter of a pencil.

I grew up in the Motown era, and I can dance because of it. We used to win dance contests, believe it or not. We would practice all week and then go to the church and school dances on the weekends and do our routines. People would actually circle us and watch us do our routines, i.e., the Tighten Up, the Jerk, the Monkey, the Alligator, the Four Corners, the Horse. :grin-square:

I got a ton of Motown 45s.

They still issued 45's into the early 80's, when CD's came into existence. I worked at a radio station that still played the promotional 45's into at least 1986 or so (station was too cheap to convert to "carts" and record companies didn't really start distributing promotional cd's till mid-to-late 80's).

The record companies did shift toward the 33 rpm 12" single thru the latter stages of that period of time, probably for ease of production. That, and the advent of the "radio mix", the "extended dance remix", etc, etc...
 
54.17%...

...strikes me as an odd percentage in favor. Did you really only sample 24 people with 13 in favor and 11 against?
 
lol, i'll never forget runnin through the jungle with "hey, hey, we're the monkeys" rattlin around in my melon

Who can forget the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermint"?! I know all the words to this stong still today as well. :cool:

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Where's the orange barrel sunshine?! :embarrassed2: Probably Strawberry Alarm Clock is the first psychedelic band that came to the fore. None of their lyrics make sense. LOL
 
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall


Another psychedelic song: White Rabbit!

My bro and I (JAM's age, so no lying about age here, JAM;) )bought brand new the MONO version of Meet the Beatles for a couple of bucks. We were jealous of our neighbors because they found the stereo version the next week and we thought we lost out.

It's worth a pissload now....No, one of us lost it at college.:sorry:

What's your favorite Beatles song? Man, there's so many to choose from, but I've gotta say mine is "Love Me Do." I'm old school Beatles. :cool:
