Although I guess you must be a Bupa patient if the word 'Motel' made you think of hospitals ;-)<br /><br />I often find the chase is a bigger thril than finally getting it. When I was a kid I collected bublegum cards (star wars, planet of the apes etc etc). On limited pocket money I rarely completed the set, but only about 4 or 5 years ago I found someone selling odds for the 70's Superman set at a comic and card mart (pound a pop though). Almost 30 years since I had started that collection I finally finished it, but somehow I felt a little gutted that the chase was over. Can't win huh?!Pileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-48882937268241827402010-11-13T19:15:37.248+00:002010-11-13T19:15:37.248+00:00Sorry John, can't help you with that...other t...Sorry John, can't help you with that...other than a quick google suggesting somebody called Lui Lepke?

It contained the line 'Educate The Nation.' To this day I'll chant the only line I can remember ie 'Educate The Nay-Shon' but it will only ever be a song heard in my head.

I heard it round at an old friend's about twenty years ago - she moved away (we both did) but I unexpectedly bumped into her not so long ago and quizzed her. To my disappointment she didn't have a fucking clue what I was going on about. She was my best shot as well.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-34926519084976896602010-11-13T15:28:35.032+00:002010-11-13T15:28:35.032+00:00SciFi dubby eh?

Might Lee 'Scratch' Perry be a contender?<br /><br />I have one of these too, I posted it a while back - it's an old doo-woppy thing that I taped off the Peel show in about 1982 and I have pretty much given up ever finding out for certain who the artist is.davyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704293846638226252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-23333809767839703382010-11-13T14:40:02.906+00:002010-11-13T14:40:02.906+00:00Love the article Artog, never heard of this band.Love the article Artog, never heard of this band.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.com
