[@dermot51]

20 years old and playing in a fantastic pop group something every real pop kid wants to do

[@iansutherlandcraig]

Still looks and sounds as good as the first time I saw it.

[@drstevie]

Beautiful sound.

[@dermot51]

This is pop! class tunes all

[@ronnieparkerscott6223]

saw them at Friars...brilliant!

[@Modmart]

Great band. Saw them tons of times with this line-up and then later with Craig on lead guitar too before he joined The Smiths. Followed them about a bit across the country as well and they were great blokes. Great to see this footage. Thanks for posting

[@kolumbijcan]

huh, this is 3 ace tunes...wonder why i never went further than the brilliance of young at heart...gotta catch up! thanks for posting this one

[@dermot51]

Criminally underrated pop quintet up there with Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and Josef K, Sisters is a great LP

[@marktheblue5780]

Scotland's finest

[@Bikessmurf]

Smiling at the comment below. The Smiths' sound was heavily influenced by the Postcard bands, who came before them.

[@liborsionko]

Ian Murphy Obviously there's the jingly guitar, but I think the very clean sounding, straight played bass guitar is the most redolent feature

[@jamesmcdowall3315]

Brill band

[@inshreds66]

@Modmart a true fan. this video was just for you. Cheers.

[@renzoolivieri6966]

Dont know if my bobby and my dad would have a lot to talk about

[@inshreds66]

@kolumbijcan glad you liked them. Cheers.

Red Guitars is miles better than the LP version , love that middle eight, who's that guy playing the blue telecaster i never seen him live , seems to be a character

[@DavidRGray]

That would be Russell Irwin

[@alanbinnie1989]

Dynamite.

[@inshreds66]

@Bikessmurf yep sure was.

[@dermot51]

Fantastic pop group but they cant be all John Lennon circa 'Help' , its the headware man!

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

[@binniemod]

Met Bobby at an Orange Juice Gig in the Mayfair in Glasgow, lovely guy.
