From: Tunesmith I've listened to the recording again, and I think it's way the word "Geordie" is pronounced at the end of the verses which really confuses me. That's not the way Archie would pronounce it. Indeed, I've got to the point where, even if Archie came on and said that it was indeed him, I would believe it! |

It sounds as if the turntable may be running a little slow compared to my memory of the vinyl. Which may explain the oddness. I'll dig it out and play mine for comparison when I can fight through the rubbish in my spare room. |
