@StreetStephen @quantick No, she didn't. On her v. early stuff it's all rather gorblimey.
@londonphilking I love that record: "mondo deco, punk rock fugitive" AWL-RIGHT!!!
@londonphilking I had no idea until today that it was a cover, or that it's basically Elton John's band. EJ played on an unreleased version.
@Brendan_Surrey I love that track so much. I never knew until today that Elton John originally played on it, only to have his part replaced.
I can't think of another record that automatically lifts my mood quite like Groovin' With Mr Bloe: youtube.com/watch?v=aaQWOn…

Mr Bloe - Groovin` With Mr.Bloe

youtube.com — Mr Bloe scored their only UK chart hit in 1970 peaking at # 2 ( denied #1 by Mungo Gerry`s In The Summertime )
@Popjustice You blow a balloon up, attach it to the top of Tiger and it flies across the high street. AMAZING
@caitlinmoran I would actually love to drive around in a balloon-powered car. Very eco-friendly too.
