Truth. He was pretty amazing actually. Even a terrible recording of songs like “My Tapes Gone” are amazing. I’d go as far to name his the greatest singer of the power pop genre.

Still listening, started late 70’s and followed the Freshies around Manchester for a few years thereafter
They did some very catchy pop songs. Chris was very underated as a songwrighter. Great stuff 👍🎸😎

Fantastic Freshies Fantastic Film Chris and The Lads Legend Genius Cheers Graham.
Great to see this. Such a huge talent - strange how Chris found recognition without recognition.
Today I discovered the most awesome compilation list of my daughter's favourite childhood music - it included this gem
Fantastic
Extra bonus to anybody who knows who the Seeta Gunaratna Chris mentions in the lyrics is!!!
A newsreader on Piccadilly Radio?
Yes, correct circa the Mike Sweeney era if memory serves
He is the spitting image of his eldest son here (or the other way around!)
Moments before he slipped on the paper maché forever!
ı am watched frank and ı think the movie about the freshies
Jennifer rides on a banking plane
Crying her eyes out, shouting and spitting
'Cause the feet don't fit on the same foot
They're not supposed to
Jill still wishing she was back in school
It doesn't matter, hon, it doesn't matter
I'll carry your books home, copy your homework
Somebody dial 'em a 999
Get dancin' doctors for the Saturday girls on me
Let dancin' doctors spend Saturday night with the same girls
Melanie's thinking of a chest complaint
You don't wanna buy one, luv, you get 'em with smoking
The doctors don't dig it but the government rig it
And we know
Nicki's gone crazy on the new Night Nurse
It does nothing for ya
It ruins the eyesight
I try to tell 'em but they will not listen
Still Saturday girls spend Saturday day at the shops
And dancin' doctors spend Saturday night with the same girls, dancin'
They choose the dancin' gear completely by themselves
They get it paid for on the National Health
The shoes go with the man, who fits the job, who wears the tan
Selenium
Everything you wanted to know
Goes on in the theatre
But it's more than a show, oh
I'm not mocking, boy, I think it's shocking
The hours you work
The non-involvement with patients
I'd rather sit thumbing through the glossies
Seeta Gunaratna on a banking plane

Dancin' doctors and the Saturday girls tonight
Let dancin' doctors spend Saturday night with the same girls
