Good memories here. My dad had a huge record collection in the 60's and I can clearly remember hearing Cliff Richard's version of Lucky Lips ?
We had one of those old "Hi-Fi's" that was kind of built into A whole Cabinet, A multi stack LP player, about 1000 MW stations, could pick up Radio Moscow ? It was quite a decent piece of furniture.
