Record containing 1960's message found in charity shop
มุมมอง 62910 ปีที่แล้ว
Some years back I used to be an assistant manager in a charity shop and I found this record, but for years I could not get it to play...it was only after a lot of care restoring it I finally made it playable... is this you on the record, or do you know the voice? whoever it is it's a wonderful piece of recorded history of someones message for long ago.

Interesting looking back
Sad this lovely accent is dying out and becoming awful “Esse”
Back in time that's where these sounds take me!
Nice compilation
I was born in the house behind the Morris Car @1:37 1 Egerton Road. August 1955.
Takes me back to BLAG days at Bottisham VC ... hello Dave (Benford)
He's a one off, totally original. Fabulous! In his own way continuing the English folk song tradition..Thanks so much for sharing this.
This wouldn't have been played on the radio if it hadn't been for Sir George Martin at EMI by 1966. Sir George had the sense to put it out nationally on the Parlophone label so that it would sell properly. He should have done the same for a series of EPs by Eric Winstone & his Orchestra recorded independently in his own recording studio the following year.
I was a kiddie when they opened the Grafton. I got separated from my Grandparents going up the lift and started to cry. Some punk girls picked me up and looked after me until my Grandparents came up lol. I even remember I had a He-Man figure (Bird).
Have you got a light booiiiii Ovaltine lightttttttt
This all reminds of my wife's dad from Thetford. Happy days!!
Hi Fonz. My wife, Sally, remembers you at Shepreth School where she was a dinner lady in the late 1970s. Good to know you're alive and kicking. (I also worked at DTV, Station Works)
How to destroy a once beautiful city in pursuit of short-term cash profits. Another characteristic: there are many more people on rhe streets. For much more than half a century, that has been entirely due to immigration. Much of it hostile to the often unwilling host country. England is a wreck of its former self. Don't visit. It will disappoint.
I came here for Massachusetts 😂
Do yew far - kip a dicker bor?
All of them great songs and deserving of a wider audience. Many thanks for making them available on TH-cam.
Peace and love to you all. Beautiful song off a somewhat flawed by bad ending record. This is what music should have stuck with. I won't go into detail, but flower children still exist in a weird form. I've noticed a good amount of younger males trying to help other people and speak freely about their own issues especially Covid related. To drive home a bitter point they love each other more than a lot of the junkies in my country America in the 60s in San Fran who weren't as good as LA sunshine pop. The bitter point? These will remain mysterious people don't make music and we can dream of getting Forever Amber and their ilk back, but once in a lifetime. Really the 60s will sadly never truly come again.
I left Cambridge nearly 30 years ago but I see Don Pasquale is still in the market Sq, there used to be a really nasty guy on the door called Kim got banned by him 35 years ago.
Love him
Thers lotsa peeple now wudnt be ded if they only had the sense to moind there hed
Gteat vid mate Keep it up and upload more lol
I just watched the whole thing in a literal state of confusion thinking it was Cambridge, Massachusetts.
yes as if the usa had 14th century churches you dimwit...duh
1:26 wow. Petty Cury had an arcade like an arched isle, and it seems the pillars were all covered with coloured tiles like in art deco style in the 1800s.
Which Cambridge is this? I thought it was Cambridge, Massachusetts.
1:22 the old cinema converted into a shop is interesting. It was reconstructed? The number of the bay became different
0:33 ??????? wow.
0:22 this place has been completely transformed, perhaps becaue of the ww2?? Hmm... the city didn't have Blitz at all because of the historic college buildings? I always wonder why it doesnt have a blue plaque recognising the ww damages. Interesting reel :>
The damage was mainly from unnecessary rapacious post-war re-development , as it also was in many other historic cities where councillors and planning officers were apparently kowtowing to unscrupulous developers. Tragic.
No various councils "developed" it and turned it into a hell hole of shops like the Grafton centre and the Lion yard, destroying all the soul out of the area.
Cambridge wasn’t bombed because there were no industrial war-effort manufacturing facilities. The Germans used their resources elsewhere. There was a random bombing when a German aircraft got separated from its pack during an attack from British fighters and discharged his bombs over Cambridge, killing 7 people in houses that sat where the Cherry Trees Day Centre now stands in St. Matthew’s Street. There was another bomb dropped on Mill Road bridge but no casualties there I believe.
Tolly means a kind of beer?
1:30 ...Neville???
....and the cistern seems to have gone and only the base stood there... no trace of Hobbson's conduit either??...
I thought the traditional marketplaces have been always there for a long time. I wonder what happened to that place
They used the marketplace space as a car park?? o.o....
I live that city
Can’t thank you enough for sharing this! Absolutely brilliant
"Funny how when we didn't know each other, nobody wanted to know us either." What an incredible lyric to an amazing song.
funkadelphiarecords agreed
A nice compilation. Some of those pictures made me feel quite nostalgic , even a bit sad.
Quality.
Joker's Wild included future Pink Floyd member David Gilmour; they were formed in Cambridge in 1964.
Can someone link the music playing
The song is "Galactic Peace" by Capo Productions
A beautiful and wonderfully performed folk song. I love this. Such a pity that they didn't do much more for us to enjoy - they were class!
Chris jones is my mums bro my uncle and this is the first recording I've ever heard ...at the age of 47 i am finally learning guitar inspired by my uncle Chris and my love of pink floyd and all the band's of the 60s ... one happy man peace and love
Great video ~ shame Cambridge has become just another generic pedestrianised oversigned shithole for foreigners
come you on
Love my home town so much.....give me the old times anyday....great video 😊
I bumped into an old friend in Chippenham on Saturday and this was one of her songs. I love it.
just wonderfull wish i owned them discs.
being a norfolk man and proud to be pure genius how i miss home
I remember this from when I was a lid and still have a fondness for these songs. Quirky and from another age.......aahh
Great to keep the old alive ! I miss old cambridge town
I've heard this was the first recording of this classic song. It's one of my favorites.
Great vid!
Loved it I live in USA and it made me miss home so much. Thank you for a lovely video.
