THE OLD SIDE ONE/SIDE TWO TRICK
Parishioner John Kemp:
"The Goons may have been first: I have an old vinyl EP with The Ying Tong Song, I'm Walking Backwards For Christmas, Bloodnok's Rock and Roll plus one other track. At the end of the first side of musical anarchy Bluebottle announces: "Picks up fractured kneecap, replaces lug in lug-hole and exits through little hole in middle of record" followed by a trademark Goons sound effect."
Parishioner Carl Parker:
On her first CD, "Simple Gearle" Stacey Earle (sister of Steve) not only has the songs listed as Side A and Side B on the insert, also has crackly vinyl sounds at the start of track one and at the end of the track that 'ends' Side A and again at the start of Side B. At the end of the final song there'e the sound made as the disc span round waiting for the stylus to be raised. Totally unnecessary, but slightly amusing because as far as I know it's never been released on vinyl.
Parisioner Tim Footman throws light on last week's discussion of whether Charlie Drake ever disappeared down the hole in the middle by pointing out that this was actually Terry Scott in 'My Brother'. "It went as follows: "Come on, come on mate, let's get you out of 'ere before you fall down the 'ole in the middle. Come on, give us yer 'and, we're gonna walk. 'Ere, 'ere, what 'ave you 'ad in yer 'and?... 'Ave yer? Phorr!!"
