check out this great band - name seems familiar!!

I told ya he was famous!!

Next time I want you to show me "Meddy's Step", Brian!

"Produced by accident" — priceless!
Nice song, too.

Very cool - I like it!

Wow! Brian I'm blown away! No wonder the ICBM sound is so polished. Nice accident.

OMG!

Where on earth did you drag this up from Roy? Thanks, now I have some explaining to do. How did I get myself in this position?

This and the flipside were the first songs that I ever wrote that actually made it on to a record of ours. I was 19 at at the time. It sounds awfully corny to me now, but my band thought it was a "groovy" song in 1968.

The man's a star I tell you!

Cover of Small Faces






Brian will tell us more about this.






Meddys People do Dave Dee, Dozy , Beaky , Mick and Tich and I can honestly say that had they got this out first they would have the hit!

Brian: Nice work and this was certainly a window into your talent of which we are all aware of here.

A great find, Roy.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky , Mick and Tich had no success in States or Canada for that matter, so a few who frequent these forums may not be aware of them at all.

They had quite a lot of hits in UK between 1965 and 1969, 13 top 30 entries including a number 1.

Hideaway was a number 10 hit in 1966 but Meddy's People version is certainly on a par with the hit version, you decide.

You are far too kind Peter. Let's not forget that there were four people in the band and I was just the lead player and only one of three singers. The other guys were very talented and all a bit older and more experienced than I was at the time. I was fortunate to have three friends around me who could play as well as they could.

Thanks to you Dean and also Kris for your kind comments also. Aitch you just want to meet the go go dancers that created that dance step.

Sheena I produced the two songs on that single and I decided that I did not need my name all over the record. "Produced by Accident" was really just a bit of my warped humour surfacing.

Nice one mate! great to hear some of this stuff.

Brain,

You've been holding out on us!

That's great!

When can we expect a CD from ICBM?

Put me down for one, autographed by all the band members please!

Spot the squatting numpty.Ahhhh when the hair wasnt grey those were the days.........

Wow, Brian, I had no idea you were a classic talent. That song makes me feel 10 years old again.

If by the "classic" definition you mean an old 60's professional musician Kira..................that's me. Thanks for the kind words everbody.

Scotty it's good to see you are back (and in fine form).
