Both classics, 95 each. Tony Joe White sounding looser and better than I remember it.

I turned 4 in 69 and only have vaguest memories of Space Oddity, perhaps because moon landings were considered worthwhile.

It was a bit of a musical desert in Australia for a young person trapped in the suburbs until around 74 when Countdown arrived.

My dad only ever listened to 3 things, the football, the cricket and the news.

My mum clearly listened to pop music (not rock) and would often be singing “Fly me to the moon”, “you belong to me” and another Jim Webb classic “Up, up and away”. Pretty tame stuff for 69.
