cindy incidentally by the faces
diamonds by jet harris & tony meehan
Should have thought Rebel Rouser was a bit before your time young Mal .
When I was at boarding school in the late 50s, my mate Pete and I used to listen (illegally) to portable radios tuned in to Radio Luxembourg under the bedclothes . He kept telling me about this great record with distinctive intro but I was never switched on at the right moment. One night I heard that ‘daang, dang’ and missed the next note as Pete flung back his sheets, not knowing I was tuned, shouting that’s it, that’s it!
Great record, great memories.
Salut, David.

But the one to avoid was the cringeworthy “Riding the Big A”…
ridin the big a!
oh man, youve reminded me of something now 240!
i think it was a sedd ack thing for the 401 
i seem to remember they used the slogan to avertise the 401 in the truck mag! am i right? and do you have a copy, cus i aint heard it?
Mal:

Yep - Seddon started dropping “Big A” hints a while before the introduction of the 401, and it was released during that period, about 1980. The cover showed a 400 Series with an A on the front (the proper, original Atkinson A!) with a name I recall as “Dale” on the headboard, possible from Stoke.
I did have a copy on vinyl, and I suspect that it may still be in the 40’ tilt that I have, and which is half full of unpacked household stuff. The other half is a car, and it’s all been in the trailer about 4 years!!

“I’m a happy DAF truck driver…” It was even worse than Riding the Big A!!

It’s ‘Eastbound and Down’… not Westbound! but it was from Smokie and the Bandit, performed by Jerry Reed who played the Snowman
