Happy birthday Bruce Woodley, 68 today.
This was one of my father’s favourite songs. My brothers and I gave him a recording of it on a 45* for his birthday.
* For those of you too young to recognise that term: before digital downloads and CDs we had 45s (singles) and LPs (albums).
Singles had an A side and a B or flip side. The A side usually had the hit song but sometimes the song on the flip side became more popular than the A side one.
We played the records on record players which pre-dated stereos but were more modern than gramaphones.
My family also had a collection of 78s, given to us by an uncle, which were older and bigger versions of singles.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the numbers referred to revolutions per minute.
