Are you too young to remember this?

Dominic Rivron said...: Thanks for these comments, everybody.

Titus: Missed te drama - but did see the amazing IMAX film of the International Space Station. Well worth seeing.

Argent: That's hours misspent surfing for you. :)

HyperCRYPTICal: Just. Earliest musical memories would be Music While You Work on Home Service and the release of She Loves You. Telstar is a superb track. The combination of epic sweep with a tinny, primitive electronics really captures something about that era of space exploration. Yuri Gagarin meets Steve Zodiac.

swiss: Thanks for that. I think I caught some of it: something about the Stockport to Stalybridge train?

Gerry Snape: What a great thing to have seen!; 5 October 2011 07:07
