Thanks for trying, Katex, tried Observer site but its not on there, unless Im missing something. Jaysay's comment is something Mr C would say, had to laugh, I think Tony Abbot used to spin the discs up the Arcs when I went up there. Would like to see that photo.

Cheers for that, Mick, very interesting. I would dispute that Bill Haley's "Shake Rattle & Roll" was the birth of rock 'n' roll, but I suppose that's another argument all together.

My aunt left the High School that year, though I doubt she'd be on the photograph, as she was probably somewhere having a fag.
