Given that we've gone all Balearic over at Barefoot, what better and more contrasting a way to start the week here at The Ghost than with a serious shot of no holds barred Essex rhythm and blues....
Stone me but these lads were 'tight' (even without Wilko Johnson on guitar).
Meanwhile for evidence, should you need it, that the young Paul Weller based his entire early look & moves on Wilko, have a look at this (recorded in 1975!).

Yes Davy, I thought you were threatening us with some Feelgood after my 77 post. Great choice I have to say.
ReplyDeleteNot R&B, but "Waiting for the Weekend" has been posted...cheers!
ReplyDeleteCurses Steve, you saw through my cunning plan!
ReplyDeleteMaster Vinyl - you are a gent and I heartily commend your blog to all Ghost readers.
Re the Whistle Test clip, those Franz Ferdinand waifs tread a similar stacatto pie-free path.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved that Roxette clip - very cool. And while we're talking influences how about an honorable mention for Mick Green.
