jasper65 6 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Mate...Time for Action was Secret Affair....and it's a beauty Their first album was an absolute classic and I still love it. Saw The Lambrettas in Chatham in 1994....they weren't up to much Saw Stiff Little Fingers in Brixton in 91 I think.....with Bruce Foxton on bass and they were amazing I've still got the first Benny I ever bought and it still fits me I bought it in 1987 and it was when they were as rare as rocking horse shit. You had to go The Cavern in Ganton Street in Soho (just off Carnaby Street) back then to get them but you can buy them anywhere these days. The Cavern was where Merc was...but that's moved onto Carnaby Street proper these days. They made these awful cheap suits that we used to buy too....we thought we looked like the dogs bollocks though bit of tonic or a bit of hounds tooth and we thought we were god None of us could afford a crombie until we were older but we always wanted one. I remember when I got my first sheepskin.....it was like winning the lottery. I bought it off a mates dad who bought it to go to football in the late 60's and never wore it. Cost me a fiver and it kept me warm on my Lambretta. Got in a scrap with some crusty fuckers one night and they opened up my forehead and covered it in claret......it was ruined Special days and special times of our lives mate of the likes we'll probably never see again!! I cherish these Memories and must admit feel a bit sad how it all blew past so quick like a gust of wind and before I knew it I'm 42 , I know its been said many times by many people over the years but without doubt "Those were the days mate". Bands were Bands back then, they played their Instruments and made good sounds that was the hall mark of our era!! I loved the Punk Bands too and loved the last Pistols comeback a few years ago, you listen to alot of the shite these days and think "what the fucks that ", Not many bands rock my boat these days unless they get up there and play. You was more on the button than me mate with the smart togs ! Boy I was a scruffy git compared to some Stabs, My old PX Vespa had seen better days too. a pal used to have a Sheepskin and I loved it and wanted it but no way was he parting with it, it looked the bollox with faded or bleached jeans!! one of my old favourites jackets was a a Black leather one button job with jetted pockets, it had real thin lapels and boy did I think I was sex in that one ...
