Just adding my bit to the thread-nice it's been resurrected. The trailer: And the original Peel recording. Who wouldn't want to hear this twice on the bounce?  |

Cheers Bill and Jill for this link, Good Vibrations sounds and looks brilliant! 'In a decently ordered society Teenage Kicks would be played on the hour every hour,' John Peel. Do reckon The Palace and the Punks would make as a good a film as Good Vibrations mind, in the hands of Mr Meadows  Can't wait for Made Of Stone I was at the first Roses comeback gig at Heaton Park last June... |

Download this people!! It's a great read, even if you're not punka, with lots of little gems-this is where I first learnt about the Geno Washington-Ian Brown connection. Forget to say (on other threads), I really buzzed off the footage of Geno in Made of Stone |

Many thanks Jill Is the Geno Washington footage and connection in Made of Stone?! Can't wait to get my hands on the special edition! Best wishes Tony Yes indeed. There was some old 60s footage of Geno, which might have been this (but I wouldn't swear to it) This was in the context of the re-telling of that nice and very cool story about Geno washington telling Ian Brown to be a singer I got into the Roses in the late 80s (when Stone Roses was released), but I just loved the album and the music and didn't read a great deal about them (I had two kids by then!), so I didn't know anything much about their musical history and influences. Made of Stone is pretty good in tracing those trajectories-in quite a low key way-old super 8 film of Ian Brown and John Squire at a scooter rally and references to Mod culture (well, a tiny bit), Northern Soul, Ska, punk-the whole shebang of British working class youth culture, mixed up with 60s psychadelia (and lovely jangly guitars). You're probably running out of time, but the documentary really is worth seeing on the big screen if you get a chance. |

Excellent Geno footage, weird to think he was on stage a few hundred yards from where I'm typing this - about where the cold meat section of the Co-op is now  And when I go up to stay at my sisters in Chorlton, Manchester I only found out last year that my local pubs up there - around Chrolton green are were the Stone Roses hung out in the early days and that Mersey Paradise was written about Chorlton Waterpark that I often go to. |

Going to be indulgent and post another clip-people who don't know what we're on about really should know where Kevin-Dexys-Rowland-ripped his phrasing from |

Would love to The Palace and the Punks turned into a film.
When reading the book I couldn't get to the end of the book fast enough, not because I wasn't enjoying it but because I was desperate to see if the gig finally came to fruition.
Top Read.............Come on Shane local film ready and waiting

Hey Jill
Saw that doc and saved it, John Cooper Clarke is a legend, love it that Plan B loves him too and has brought him to the attention of the new generation. 'Chicken Town' is my favourite of his (with Beasly Street) and love this footage, it shows the old grimy and edgy Manchester (you can almost hear Joy Divison and The Smiths floating on the grey clouds in this), I've travelled that line 100's of time from Oxford Road to Trafford, you can see the Hacienda building down in the street from the viaduct (sadly no longer there). Great that they used Chicken Town over the end credits to one episode of The Sopranos and the proper 'f*#~ing' version too!

Thanks for posting that-nice little clip. I was surprised that he has influenced so many young song writers (Alex Turner too-the Artic Monkeys performed I Wanna Be Yours at Glastonbury this summer). The documentary has been taken down from Youtube, but anybody interested to see it can view on BBC i-player: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01jcdbc/Evidently..._John_Cooper_Clarke/ |
