Oh FFS! How could mine not have been a Beatles or Quo track? :bang: ;-) I hadn't even heard of this one as it doesn't appear in the UK chart for that week:

My curtains are hung on more flexible rods than the one that fella has up his back! :lol:

:lol:

That makes me feel so much better about the 1960s equivalent of John Barrowboy being at #1 when I came into the world. :-P

I was conceived to the gentle strains of a changer stack of 8 x 10" Jimmy Shand 78s, gradually rising in bpm from an Island waltz, via a couple of reels to the Bluebell Polka, not 50 Cent's recent version - the original :rock: . My folks still own the high end GEC radiogram that was used to channel the legendary Mr Shand and have resisted offers for its period pair of PX4 audio triodes, now worth £££ to the audiophool market.

:blush: Valves man, expensive ones. PX4s were used as output pairs in many of the best home audio devices from the 1930s onwards.
Here's what they look like and they're worth more on their own than the value of the radiogram is in its present, fully working condition:

HiFi snobs (audiophools) build entire amps around a pair of these in the mistaken belief that they sound better (than modern valves like the ECL86), fortunately the folks' radiogram has its originals. Fortunately because new ones cost around £800 EACH!

On the late, great Sir Jimmy, country music legend and unfeasibly tall, thin man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Shand

And where Fifty Cent comes into it, scoring 21st century chart success with a sampled Scottish country tune written by Sir Jimmy:
