I could tell yer some tales from the jazz funk scene that year. But, really, you had to be there, man. So I wont.

You must have been popping off down the cheesy High Street Mecca by a punch-up in your Farrah’s, Maxy, judging by most of those tunes. Chris Hill wouldn’t have been seen dead spinning anything like that in the clubs we went to. Surprised you haven’t included Oops Upside Your Head and a vid of soul girls doing the rowing dance on the beer-sticky floor.

Only teasing. There’s some fun numbers in that lot

Ah 1979. The Winter of Discontent. Rubbish building up in the streets, you couldn’t bury the dead. But at least the murder rates dropped as the lorry drivers went on strike.

Happy Days 🙌
