One of my favourite songs of all time! Just want to get up and dance every time I hear it! Summed up many nights in the Discos!! (Can’t believe this isn’t available on Spotify!!)
This is USA calling... and I just obtained a copy of the Lambrettas' debut LP (which was released Stateside). This is my second favorite UK Mod Revival LP (right behind the Jam's "Setting Sons")...!
So glad to be the 300th 'like' for this! Had the 7" vinyl back in the day, which was sadly stolen from me when I had a house party in 1984.. Still sounds as fresh as it did when I saw them live back in 1980!
"Poison Ivy" might honestly be my least favourite song on that whole album, especially compared to killer tunes like "Cortina", "London Calling" and "Beat Boys".
XTC song "Senses Working Overtime" was Andy Partridge homage to Manfred Mann's ""5,4,3,2,1" I loved The Lambrettas cover of the original we were spoiled for music as pre teens and teenagers and upwards everyone of us went through "phases" without realising it, Weller was spot on "realities so hard,realities so hard!!!"
Paul Wincer. He actually owned a music shop called Poole Percussion in Poole, Dorset and was in a local band with a friend of mine who was the bassist. Saw them several times but they eventually split and his shop closed down sometime ago. Presume he still lives local though.
Beat boys In the jet age , union jack picture disc for this single if my memory serves me. I realise they were manufactured but as a 12 year old aspiring mod, they got me on the dance floor alongside the two tone bands.

Fab times……we were young and daft. We’re now old and daft…..lol.
Never lose the dream
The summer of 1980...THE best summer!
Loved the Summer of 1976-1982 ...my fav years
Classic..also beat boys in the jet age album .. awesome 👌
Superb album.
@@corinnehansen4316 yeah it was pretty good, esp this track.👍
J'adore cette chanson, surtout quand la seconde voix arrive sur le second couplet. J'adore The Lambrettas. French mod.
The drumming in this is first class

The jam were quality
Haven't we all tried to hold on to a love we know we're gonna lose 😢
saw them in Italy in fall 1980 opening for Madness, great show, many Mods in the crowd as long rude boys

Quality little tune - better than Poison Ivy

That's just the obligatory cover to get a novelty hit in cheesy mainstream UK charts
most dynamic playback ever
I had this on a 7-inch vinyl picture disk of a union jack, happy days :)
Brilliant tune.
Awesome track ❤
When we were kings….
Word is they were not real Mods.
Great times
Mods mods mods 😎
R.i.p jezxx
Quality

Hi Mark!
Should of been a bigger hit.
Was runaround the b-side ? Cant remember great band.
Drummer in front of the band instead of behind.
I was seven and I remember seeing it// was an unusual move.. great band.

Not a mod but a great emotional song
up the mods!
Another band who jumped on the coat tails of The Jam

Better than poison ivy
The album was awesome. Poison Ivy was rubbish. Wish there was more live stuff on YT.
This isn't live.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 are you thick or what ? I know it's not live, it's totp. I want to see live content from them. Get it ?
