What Are You Listening To?

This always raises the hairs on my arms.

Just saw this - great to listen on a rainy Saturday morning. Thanks, David! 👍
 
This was included on the disk set for Windows 95 - man that seems like a lifetime ago!

Sorry, neither her songs or her singing ever got to me.
 
While enjoying my waffles ...

 
One of my favorite "personalizations" in my Healey is the Becker Europa II AM/FM Stereo. It has a small auxiliary amp and looks more or less period correct as the design of the Becker faceplate didn't change much over the years. I found a shop in California that added Bluetooth and I can stream my Spotify library from my iPhone. There's nothing like listening to tunes that would have been current from the time the car was new while out for a drive... adds another dimension to the "time machine" nature of our cars.

Rick - the Becker Mexico from my old 1958 Mercedes-Benz:

Short save unit underneath was an option.
Don't know if I imagine it, but the Becker seems to have a very full, rich tone. I got mine for $20 at a swap meet. They go for way more than that now. I'm guessing mine must of come from a 70s Mercedes.
 
Oh man there's a flashback! I presume they thought it was the Beatles where you are also?
 
Yea I recall that discussion too that it was the Beatles getting a new start. I still have the 2-3 albums purchased in the 70s when I was in school.
 
From the same time as the Beatles.

I remember them playing in a local club.

What a lovely story, never heard of the Liverbirds.

I may have mentioned before, Mrs JP's parents came from Liverpool and her cousin met her spouse at the Cavern listening to the Beatles.
