The Chords, Purple Hearts, Squire etc were part of my teens as a young Mod from Belfast during the revival period. Still sounds fantastic all these years later 😎
the chords lp was better than in the city......so had the potential to be a rival to the jam and if allowed to devlope potentially superior. just my opinion !!! mods rule.@@williammark3210
dirty streets like dirty dreams ????????????? for your best friend plenty of shops with nothing in stock never seems to end (never seems to end) a cinema, a bowling green a culture to preserve everyone always staring at each other but no one speaks a word (is it a) dream or is it ??????????

Listening again now most of the '79 stuff (apart from the Jam and some Secret Affair) was pretty shit in my view - I loved it at the time but glad I discovered soul, R&B, ska etc - which the 79 stuff led me into...
It's called choice, if no one else is going to sing a song that you've written, in the style you want it sung then you have to do it yourself. Unlike the voice where people can questionably sing someone else's song ( well ) but , couldn't right a decent song to save their lives.

CHORDS a cut above the rest such a classic band 😎👍 ......
I do miss the 80's😢
Fantastic record one of the best Mod record's ever it captures how l felt at the time and very proud to be part of a massive Mod movement ❤🎉🎉🎉
Really identified with this growing up in Belfast and being a mod at that time.
Did you listen to The Blades from Ireland?

The greatest time for music...vibrant..new kick ass..lived for the next Melody Maker and NME
What a great song fantastic memories
i remember buying this when i was 13 loved it then and still do great tune
I remember buying this single when I was the DJ in a youth parochial hall dance in Belfast . HAF Mods.
I saw Chris Pope, perform this in November 2009 and it still sounds great!
A wish it was 1979 😁
Agree that was a great year for music.
Ohhhh masannnnn, me TOO.
The best mod revival band
Thats true i like them for the rest of my life Mods Mods Mods
obvs..the jam was the best..but the chords have to be the best of the rest
the chords lp was better than in the city......so had the potential to be a rival to the jam and if allowed to devlope potentially superior. just my opinion !!! mods rule.@@williammark3210
I'd say The Chords were #3 in the top mod revival bands. The Jam being #1 and The Lambrettas being #2. All the others... meh IMHO.
@@damonlevine They were far better than The Lambrettas.
Happy memories
This is the life !
Best Mod Hyme ever !!!!
Loved the Chords ....
the best song in the mod revival!
great times mod for life
Off to see these tonight in Stockton on Tees... all the way from Sunderland... mates band on before them... "sound reaction" check em out...
The best band that came out of the revival, stifled by Polydor
as much as I like The Chords - The Jam were simply better....they just had stronger songs.
@@TheGrandmasterMan but for a debut Album what a statement and if only the'd had decent management they could have been massive
So many great bands from that era: Merton Parkas (I've never understood the hate), The Directions, Cigarettes, Small Hours... fantastic music.
@@AgentOck The Merton Parkas were dreadful.
@@VincentRE79 Judged on one single,good album.
yeah the bes mod revival band what a great song
Ooft quality tune. Get in there...
It’s a mod mod world
Mods ..mods...mods...:-)
a ze martxa!
Head and shoulders above the other 'mod' revival groups.
Who came first, the Jam, or the Chords?
Great band. I also featured them on my RUclips channel. Check it out
dirty streets like dirty dreams
????????????? for your best friend
plenty of shops with nothing in stock
never seems to end (never seems to end)
a cinema, a bowling green
a culture to preserve
everyone always staring at each other
but no one speaks a word
(is it a) dream or is it ??????????
(does it) always rain or is it sunny, sunny
this is the british way of life
i sallow my dreams like my beer
sunday dinner with the wife now
cos nothing new happens here
i work all week in the company office
don't even know my name
i feel so cold, make me feel old
nothing will ever change
drink with the boys every weekend
to the future and the queen
think i'll marry the girl who lives down the road
and support my local team
A pint for your best friend*
And hate for your best friend 😎..
Because nothing else happens here
Tune! or do I need to make one of those stupid fukin gansta hand signs to be hip now
brilliant record, then to the extreme of sx 225 which has to be the worst mod revival record.
Listening again now most of the '79 stuff (apart from the Jam and some Secret Affair) was pretty shit in my view - I loved it at the time but glad I discovered soul, R&B, ska etc - which the 79 stuff led me into...
David Martin ditto mate, got into nsoul scene at 16via mod scene
Possibly sacrilege, but I like the Chords better than The Jam..
Chris Pope and the bloody Chords UK are utter shite compared to this.....Brilliance
Who is not in the Chords UK?
Drummer wasn't very good, bad timing
Keith Moon style, not shite
How come Brit Mod revival bands couldn't really sing? Decent song-they just couldn't sing. None of those guys really could...
mate if you want Frank Sinatra you're on the wrong page ;)
