suddenly

oh the thrill of post... the card from bridlington my dad's photos of bluebells from the easter day out with the grandparents of my youth a reminder of the £13.72 that's lived in my building society for years and this glorious treat that brightened the week no end...

"Wow! I am flabbergasted! I wrote and sang lead on "Suddenly You're My Life" when we (Teakwood) recorded it in 1976 near Atlanta, GA (USA)! I would love to find out how this record got into distribution. We were very young then!! We recorded an album in 1977, but it did not include "Suddenly" or "Can You Dig It". It, also, was NEVER released! It's called A DISTANT STAR! I hope to hear from someone VERY soon!!!"

and then even more

"Thanks, Ally! My good friend, Berry Wilson, fellow member of Teakwood who wrote the flip side, "Can You Dig It?", also happened upon this website around the same time I did! It's incredible that 35 years after recording it and with, what we were told, a very limited number of copies printed, that our record seems to, finally, be a hit!! LOL!"

and then the lovely rob ryan who gifted us the tune popped round too

"Hi Fred and Berry,
Hope things are good. I bought your INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC record from a friend around a year ago in London (England) I think he bought it on ebay from the states, I wont tell you how much I paid for it cos my wife might read this and beat me with a pool cue, it's given me many hours of happiness tho - Thank you!
It was on a mix cd we took on holiday last year and as we drove around the hills in Cyprus the kids in the back loved singing along with the 'ooh ooh ' bit, as I did too !
Best Wishes and thanks for your great music guys !"

so if you missed it the first time here's another go with the blinding flipside to boot

thankyou ever so fred and berry

away

in & out

i do hope you'll forgive me dear hearts for rattling on about our 99p soul whatsit so but i do like a bit of dance and it's most awful nice having a little chunk of these here doings living in the great outdoors too really sort of real like. it's just a bit of a worry that you might feel like you're getting bothered into coming or that you'll be in trouble if you don't or there'll be tutting or even worse sighing but that's really not what i meant to happen at all. i just like the idea that there's a do there and a do here too (and over the facebook thing) so that everyone can sort of join in wherever they are. is that alright? i do hope so. have a ball whererver you are duckies

arnold blair - trying to get next to you
