[Albion] Video: Carol Manns - 'Seagulls' (1979) - rare Brighton & Hove Albion 7" from 1979

That thing in the middle of Churchill Square was a eaterie I believe

And sorry the song is pants

Jackets sold Potatoes and various fillings. Forerunner to Spudulike I believe.

My brother has a copy on vinyl, she sang it live at the labour club in lewes road back in the day , good to hear it again.

I remember her singing this at the Elm Grove Labour club too and everyone used to sing along,seemed like everyone was an Albion fan in those days (but then i was only a kid at the time!).

Bit before my time but well done to the OP and Fork me. Some good old footage.

 

[Magic Sponge]

But what's Harry the Dog doing in the video

Exactly what I just thought!

Should get this played on the big screen instead of fan zone one week ? ........

 

[Oscar]

That is quality. Surely due a North Stand rendition.

I thought it was the best way to work the line 'Other teams' supporters may as well go home.' The alternative footage I had was of footage of the famous 'disco trains' that the Football League sponsored in the 1970s (their rationale was: give away supporters a good time on the trains, and they won't wreck the place) but it didn't fit well with the rest of the video.

Wow, thanks for that. I'm going to fb it if thats ok? some of the goals are cracking as well.


Any chance of the 'disco trains' footage being available? or am i not looking hard enough?

 

[Boris.zukov]

Brilliant tune......I've asked loads of people about this song over the years and no one ever remembers it,i was only a kid back then and it's brought back loads of memories ...thanks

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Great work by the OP.......before my time but still love to see it,missus told me to put headphones on and turn it down and daughter thought it was opera,i think it sounds |French|somehow..

Of course you can! More than welcome to share it...

Sorry for the delay in uploading 'disco train' footage - I made the mistake of using the word 'hooliganism' in the description which caused it to be held in a queue (I think it probably causes an alert on YouTube as they don't want hoolies to stick football violence on). Anyway, I re-uploaded it without the offending word and it processed straight away. Here:



Enjoy!

Yes see it now and well done

Great viewing, song is not so bad. Thanks for the memories again.

Congrats!

The video is better by far than the song,which I haven't heard for years and hoped I'd forgotten.

Much better was "places to go teams to beat,look at our football ain't it neat" - as good a Seagulls song as your likely to hear.Can anybody direct us to that ? Please ??

Ted Young - 'Seagulls' - I'm guessing this is what kevo referred to earlier in this thread.

Here's the link:

I've heard there's a longer version of this, but I haven't got it.

I don't think that's it. There was another song that was played pretty regularly before kick-off at the Goldstone around 1977/78 or 78/79. Anyone?

 

[Surf's Up]

Loved those Peter Ward goals - sheer class!

 

[Jam The Man]

%I had this on vinyl for years and donated it to Tim Carder for eventual display in the Amex museum - should it ever open!

 

[Bwian]

Been supporting the Albion for over 40 years now. Think that's the first time I have heard that song.

Ditto.

It's shocking too but I downloaded the video so my Albion collection is complete...

What else is in the collection?
