REGRESSION MIX 033 - November 1971

 

 

LISTEN HERE     

 Hello. Listen carefully! I am going to take you back. Back to November 1971, when caning in schools was finally banned (although not enforced until 1973), and when The USSR landed the first man-made spacecraft on Mars. In Rome, 10 European bankers began talks for the alignment of all their currencies, and the first UNIX programmer’s Manual was published. Walt’s brother, Roy, oversaw his last film before his death with ‘Aristocats’, and the highly acclaimed film ‘Walkabout’ was released. The first film directed solely by Nicholas Roeg, it featured his son Luc, who later became a film director, and a young Jenny Agutter. On TV, ‘Braden’s Week’ continued it’s run with Jake Thackray appearing as a regular guest on each show, and a spin-off show from children’s programme ‘Play School’, ‘Play Away’ begins for slightly older children. Other new shows this month include ‘Cilla’, the sit-com ‘Father Dear Father’ and the new review programme ‘Film ‘71’ which features future host Barry Norman. After a rapid climb to No.1, Slade remain there for most of the month in the singles chart, whilst John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ begins the month at the top of the album charts. The month also sees the release of two classic albums, one by Pink Floyd, ‘Meddle’ , the other, one of the best selling albums of all time; Led Zeppelin’s ‘Four Symbols’. All those memories, feelings and long past moments which made you who you are today. Now take a deep breath and let’s begin…
