I'd had a Saturday job at Tesco Home & Wear in Teddington High Street and then a shift in the months approaching Christmas in 1984 and I'd invested. In an excellent assembled stereo bought in Richer Souns off the Tottenham Court Road.In records
I'd discovered The Doors, NeilYoung, Patti Smith and Television. Also in Creedence, getting muself in a greatest hits collection where virtually every song was spun gold. Going back beyond The Understones and Buzzcocks. Discovering the Pre Lapsarian origins of the guitar bands I was getting into. Haight Ashbury, Monterey and Woodstock,
John Fogerty made a surprising comeback in 1985 and I read about it.. In Rolling Stones magazines pn the shelves of Newagents on the High Street of Locarno. I bought a copy of Centerfield when I got back to England in the Summer. It had some great tunes.
The one thing John Fogerty could be relied on was excellent, stripped back guitar tunes of beauty and simplicity, harking back to the Golden Days of Rock & Roll. The man was a mythic figure. An Old Testament prophet..
