Historic stuff! I used to listen to Saturday Club… Read Full Bio ↴Rock'n'roll at the BBC
Historic stuff! I used to listen to Saturday Club on the old Light Programme way back when. This sort of treat made a welcome change from Brian Poole and The Tremeloes (who had their moments) or the Mark Leeman Four (who didn't).
"Following from the glorious Rockstar Town Hall Party cd we return again to the live radio/tv sound of the brothers in rock.
Two BBC Saturday Club radio shows from 5th and 12th of March 1960, Four ITV Boy Meets Girls January 16th and 23rd, February 20th and 27th 1960. As a bonus, three back-stage tour members' inteviews from Mr 'Microphone', Monty Lister, back-stage at the Liverpool Empire theatre March 1960 and a 1995 interview with Monty himself from 1995. Add a brilliant colour NME Poll Winners concert cover, a detailed booklet fine intro by Big jim Sullivan and lotsa rare pics and you're sorted matey. Stop reading this and rush to your nearest record emporium and acquire forthwith.
OK, so you may have the 1981 Rockstar lp with the Saturday Club cuts BUT these are from the BBC master tapes and sound absolutely awesome. Tiptop ticketyboo chaps, jolly well done that boy Duncan Cowell in the sound dept! The quaint Brian Matthews dj bits and the star struck girl fan interviewees all add to the impact when the Americans let rip, coaxing their UK band members to unthought of heights of competancy. Great stuff and fantastic to hear in this high quality depth of sound. C'Mon Everybody wasn't on the original album but it's here in all its glory.
The Boy Meets Girl tracks first surfaced on the old much beloved and now very worn On Air UA lp from 1972. Even though they've been on cd previously (EC Box set etc.), they sound really crisp hear thanks to Duncan's knob twiddlings. Love the closing announcement on one show where Marty Wilde says that Ronnie Hawkins will be on the show next week and OTIS BLACKWELL (what!!!!!) performing as well. Cue voodoo doll intermission for curses to be laid on the blinkered TV executive plonker who gave the go-ahead to wipe the film/video of these epic performances way back when.
Just think of film of Eddie Cochran ripping up Sweet Little 16 or the lads closing on White Lightning. The aural memories expertly conserved here will suffice. One day though will our intrepid Indiana Jones' Tone n Del achieve mission impossible finding this long lost footage? International finger crossing day starts now. Look what a surprise the Town Hall Party footage turned out to be.
Hard to believe we want more after the long hard effort it's taken to put this gem of a cd together. Steve Aynsley and Roger Nunn have annotated a superb telling of the last tour by the tunesome twosome. 10 out of 10 and a gold star (or even Goldstar) all round. Buy with confidence as they used to say. The last two cds and Darrel/Julie's book means that the 40th anniversary year of Eddie Cochran's passing has been acknowledged in a most fittting and memorable manner. Yah boo sucks to Radio 1, you deserve the music you play daily. This stuff is immortal.

Money Honey
Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what's on his mind.
He said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.
Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said I'd like to know what you want with me.
I said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
Well, I said tell me baby, what's wrong with you?
From this day our romance is through
I said tell me baby face to face
How could another man take my place
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.
Well, I've learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so,
I want
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
The lyrics for Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran's song "Money Honey" are about the importance of money in relationships. In the song, the singer is struggling to pay his rent, and the landlord is demanding payment. He is so hard-pressed that he calls the woman he loves the most, hoping that she can help him out. When she arrives, he tells her that if they want to get along, they need money. The rest of the song talks about the singer's realization that money is necessary for survival and how he has learned his lesson. He notes that "women may come and women may go" but without money, it's impossible to have a stable relationship.
The lyrics of "Money Honey" capture the realities of life and the importance of financial stability in relationships. While the song may seem shallow at first, as it focuses on money, a closer analysis reveals that it is about the realities of life and how financial woes can affect our relationships.
