Never seen that pic before. Tell you what, if it was "Crackerjack", things were becoming a bit radical Was it Leslie Crowther back then? I'm trying to think when platforms actually came in as a fashion item (except for Mr Rossi, obviously). Probably 1972 or thereabouts. Went right through to about 1976 but started to compete with cowboy boots and clogs as I recall. I think I'm getting away from the whole thread here. Sorry 'bout that The drum kit looks like it's been altered on the photo to plain blue. It doesn't quite look realistic. Nit picking now though.

What do we think that lurking behind Rick is? A JCB/digger sort of thing? So what is the song then? Anyone good at working out the chords? Rick is singing. Not sure if Francis is, or if he's just leaning back. Francis wore that waistcoat to perform something on Top of the Pops I think. Paper Plane maybe. Can't quite remember. Just musing on a Friday afternoon while I mull over what to have for tea
