Nearly all videos on my channel were uploaded at a time when not previously available on RU-vid. Some videos already existed on RU-vid but I have added them again as my video is in better condition. I have converted them all from VHS tapes I recorded from broadcasts on TVNZ (Television New Zealand). My aim is for other people to enjoy them forever instead of them being lost in a box of old deteriorating tapes in my spare room. I acknowledge third party content on all videos. If the talented artists who produced these songs benefit in some way then that will be fantastic.
When workers playtime was released I heard billy bragg for the first time....and absolutely had to have that album.I love it so much everything on the album.The great leap forward is what got me started...but when I heard this...wow amazing stuff.
In Eugene’s defence he had one of the best record collections I’d seen at that point. A lot of what I was into at that time, original Ska, U Roy, Scratch Perry & so much more! He made me some amazing cds. He was living in a warehouse space on Taranaki St, near the night shelter. He was still a piss head then, but kind & generous with it!
