Twizzle

 

This was the inspiration for todays post, a visit to Epsom today while waiting for the bus home I looked up and saw a toy impaled on the anti Pidgeon spikes, in the television series Twizzle escapes from the toy shop, unfortunately the peace was interrupted by a 'nutter' mouthing off very loudly about everything and nothing, luckily another person of similar ilk turned up and they were putting the world to right, thankfully my bus came, some of the other people at the bus stop were finding it quite amusing.

 

My copy of this 1958 record has lost its cover and has been dinked it is also not in the best of condition, it came from a Hook Road Arena Boot Sale a number of years ago, the stall owner said any thing left at the end of the Boot Sale would be going in the skip, I brought the record for 10p, when I got it home I cleaned the record, on playing the record, it played better than it looked, these late 50's early 60's records can take a lot of abuse and still play well.

A few days before I found this record I had put a bid on a copy of this record on eBay and had been out bid, from memory the record sold in the region of £35. Today the record and TV Series would banned from broadcast for being Politically Incorrect, one track springs to mind:- Frank Duncan Chawky The White-Faced Golly.
