Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · Dec 1

Formal introduction (if'n you don't know by now)...
I'm Jules. I sing. I strum the guitar. I sometimes write things.
I also dig stand-up, space, art, animals, books, snooker and cycling.
I lost Gill, the yin to my yang, in 2019. This feed is dedicated to her.
Be kind, be real, or get out of my face.

That's it for everyone.

No argument. Have certainly heard the mono more than the stereo. The stereo is more than respectable though.

Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · 9h

See, that wasn't so bad. Sounds great, actually.

Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · 9h

It's all about me, Mick.

Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah, right at the end.

Best mono mixes:
Revolution (single)
Paperback Writer
Rain
Happiness Is a Warm Gun

Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · 9h

No, scratch that, it was Ballad of J&Y, then Something, then Let It Be. But everything before was mono.

Jules Gray @julesgray.bsky.social · 9h

Go on...

Nice work, my friend.

Yup. All albums were mono until mid 1968 here. Singles remained mono until just into the 70s in many cases.

That clip of this in the Dylan movie. 😍

What five events defined your childhood?

Playing Dead Man's Fall on Colin's lawn in the Summer of '76
School holidays with both grandmas
Record shopping in Manchester
First kiss (teeth-clashing incident)
Falling down a band and breaking my arm during an elastic band fight

What five events defined your childhood?

The heatwave of 1976
Chris Kelly kissing my finger better
The Berlin Wall before and after the fall
School sanitary towels with loops and safety pins
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, all on a sesame seed bun
