Beach End - Left Side
Quality. I was just to your left.

Oh man, what a tune..!! Bought it on the day it came out. Straight in at No 1 in the charts, IIRC. Still have my original copy.

Good news in today’s retro Dons press cutting as King Joey Harper indicates that he is staying with the club after some interest from ‘Common Market’ clubs.

Retrieved this from the loft the other day. Not seen it for many years. It’s a great read and would bring a tear to a glass eye.

Great album. Gets a regular airing around these parts. I think this would be my ‘time machine’ gig 🤔
December 5, 2025 at 3:56 PM
Brilliant. I still have my copy of that as well. I must have been about 10 when I bought it.

My favourite ever single. No question. Here’s my copy.

Here’s another album that my brother or me had when we were young, but has been misplaced on the intervening years. Picked up another copy a few months ago so #nowplaying is Slade with ‘Play it Loud’. I was a huge fan of them when I was young.

Great tune, but the end of an era. You can definitely see where Weller was going in their last couple of singles. Here’s my copy (double single, gatefold sleeve)

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that on this day in 2008 I was at the P&J arena in Aberdeen to see The Stereophonics. Can’t tell you if it was a good gig as my daughter hurt her back in the mosh pit after 10 minutes and I had to take her home. Gutted.

More retro Dons press cuttings from the same period as I posted the other day, I think.

Thanks. Did ye see the pic of them all in the frame that I posted a few weeks ago ?

What a fantastic tune that is. From an album that is easily in my top ten ever. I’ve still got my original copy of the single.

Not played this for a good while so #nowplaying is the peerless David Bowie with ‘Hunky Dory’. What an amount of first class tunes there are here. Maybe not lauded as much as some of his other albums, but it is terrific.

What a great tune that is. Here’s my original copy and accompanying pin badge.

Great album, that. My ‘box’ is still in decent nick. Probably helped that I decanted the vinyls in to ‘traditional’ sleeves when I bought it and stored the box away v

What a tune..!! Still have my original copy and accompanying pin badge 😎

Posted the last of my retro Dons #pinbadges archive yesterday so here’s the whole set for you to enjoy (or otherwise).

Thanks. The distance to travel could be quite prohibitive, TBH 😳

Best cover version ever, IMHO. Here’s my original single.

Aye, I’ve been on a few football ‘specials’ but generally going to cup finals/semi finals. Never remembered it was a regular thing. Most memorable one was to Anfield in 1980 and I can guarantee there was fuck all ‘special’ about it #cattletruck
December 1, 2025 at 1:23 PM
Final one from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this absolute classic ‘Aberdeen FC - OK’. So seventies. Love it. All that’s missing is ‘ya bass..!!’ 😂

Retro Dons press cutting for today is ‘A show of the colours’ as Dons fans gather at the station to get their trains to the cup final. Not sure which year this could be….1967 ?

Loved the movie when I was young and immediately bought the album. Still have it. Watched the movie again a few years ago and it has aged better than I thought it would. Music is still great, though.

Last but one from my Dons #pinbadges archive is this underwhelming effort. It’s a bit ‘meh’.
