Back in the 1970's radio in the UK kinda sucked. If you wanted anything other than pop you had few choices as there was the Allen (Fluffy) Freeman Show and Radio Caroline when you could get it. I remember hearing Let it Grow on Caroline one night in 1975 and hopping the train down London to buy the album. Caroline and Freeman were my RP back then and they cost me a whole lot of money for the same reason. Much cheaper to go on Amazon and buy a CD than catch a train to get a Clapton fix.
Still, those were great adventures and completely worth getting grounded when caught.
This song turned me on to Elbow via RP. It has cost me a fair bit of dosh as I have since purchased all of their CD's and even arranged to see them in concert a few years back on a trip across the pond to visit family. Great time.
This is one of those songs that reminds me of one or more other songs from the deep part of my memory. I'm not saying that's a bad thing either. I quite like it, but it just stirs other memories.
Loved it since the first time I heard it in 1978. Took the train down to London to buy it. (Only Virgin Records at Marble Arch had it.) I remember as I picked up Peter Gabriel's firs album while I was there. Solsbury Hill is still one of my favorite songs. I think I may have picked up Tangerine Dream's Sorcerer on that trip as well. I miss the big Virgin Records store. rdo wrote:
