2008.11.25In Brooklyn After Dark ( live @ Big Jar Books ) - Religious Knives
Despite my dissapointment with "The Door", their latest release, I love the energy in this live track by Religious Knives from their Live @ Big Jar Books recording. It's not them at their freakout finest, but it's still got something to it which keeps me playing it again and again and again.

Children Talking
From the BBC Radio Series

Children Talking
In 1961 Harold Williamson travelled the United Kingdom asking children questions about life. The resulting interview were broadcast on Radio 4 and later on Radio 2. A selection of the recordings were also released on Vinyl, which is what we have here.
I find these recoding amazing, they are such a fascinating document of the time. The history books are not full of the voices of children, of what they beleived, and their responses, and the questions and statements made by the interviewer, are a great document of what the world was like, through children's eyes, back then.
I originally brought this record as I thoguth it would make great sample material. I have yet to take advantage of that, but having listened to it again I thought it had to be shared.
Side One:
Where do Babies Come From?
(North Wales)
Who wants to be a Millionaire?
(Children of 'Top People')
Ambition
(The East End Of London)
School Life
(Newcastle)
Life in Hospital
(Leeds)
The World of Grown-ups
(Manchester)
Weddings

God and the Bible
(Crawley)
What would you like to be?

Sorry to see these recordings've been deleted, I wept tears of laughter when I first heard them at an ex girlfriend's about 15 years ago, the Northern Irish "Royal Family" one was particularly good I remember. I've been watching out for it ever since.
Me too. I used to have this as a kid and spent hours listening to it over and over, memorising the lines. "Where do babies come from ?" .. "Chester." "From Chester ?" "From a shop. My mother...my mother paid for it"Wish I could get hold of a copy of the recordings. Any chance of making them available again ?

Listening to Orbital's "Back To Mine" selection, I am enquiring as to where the following spoken clip comes from: "...and the windows are where the doors should be and the doors are where the windows should be..." (repeated).
I believe it is from a 70s LP for kids called the Happy Monsters. Put together by Leo Muller it is basically some funk tunes that have been worked over with buzzers and bells and weird noises to represent the monsters. I think side A tells the story of two kids who go to the land of Oooog. If you are really interested, there is a copy on ebay and no I'm not the seller, just found it in my quest for the answer to the same question you had.it coems from earth leakage trip tune called The Doors on Techno Classics Vol 1 on Rising High Records, and I cant find a digital version anywhere; got the vinyl so might YouTube it tho
