I rediscovered that track on youtube in the last week.

I was at school, pubs, gigs and clubs a few years away. Musical passions included:

 

[OzMike]

Nope, with the likes of Supertramp, Squeeze etc. being active at that time I didn't dig this kind of grot.

No, just a sample of far better music released in 1979

London Calling
Fear Of Music
Armed Forces
Setting Sons
B-52s
Look Sharp!
Drums And Wires
One Step Beyond
Eat To The Beat
The Raven

The Wall was released in 1979 too.

The video is from the world disco dancing championship

Fella I knew used to live in a flat above the shops in Longridge Avenue made it to the UK final at the Hammersmith Palais - I think it was 1979 but might have been a year either side.
I was bombing around on a 750cc Honda ...

Marvellous scenes indeed

 

[Steve in Japan]

No, cos sweaty rock and roll was available even in the mid 70's. And these herberts spoke to me.

I would have been 10. I was probably playing football with jumpers for goalposts

I would have been skanking.

The Specials first album was released in 1979

 

[Official Old Man]

Great tune, DJ'ing for weddings at Langfords hotel at the time. Mixing in Gonzalez - Haven't Stopped Dancin, Village People - Macho Man. Still have it all on 12"

Did your sets then or later ever include Sparks - Number 1 Song In Heaven or Sylvestor - You Make Me Feel Mighty Real? (Or were they a bit too far removed from mainstream disco likes at that time?).

 

[Seasidesage]

I was leaving school and drinking in the Queen Head. Oh for simpler times...

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Definitely, the Iceland one rings a bell. Discos were rubbish and you had to be off your head to get through the 3 hours.

Unknown pleasures, Manifesto and Dire Straits for me. Hated discos only good for late night drinking.
