New -old things and that

 Hello there.

It was apparently as I hadn't been born then 65 years last Friday that that iconic BBC tv children's show Blue Peter first began and so on friday's show they looked at past shows and presenters most of whom were known to me ever since I first watched it.

Henry the dog was as good as gold throughout the show as makes and challenges were performed before the cake was cut.

Monster Fun in all its ghoulish fun is being enjoyed here as is the Beano which is actually the oldest  British in production comic even though the life of a child has changed in many ways since the late 1930's and today apparently they don't "do" phone calls.

A few more records were cleaned across the week as some were not cleaned at the time and a clean groove is a prerequisite for clear crackle free sound from them as I played a few this weekend for the first time in ages. 

We don't normally mention the cd only Extra editions of the Now yearbook series only normally looking at the regular three lp version instead as for me handling and playing records is linked to the period but this is worth picking up as it has a great collection of glam rock, soul and pop which shows what a great year for music 1973 was.
