The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[MyDadIsBiggerThanYourDad]

Randy's official statement was on Monday 12th May 2014.

Six weeks later takes us to Monday 23rd June 2014.

If there is no potential buyer in the offing by that date I am going to be getting extremely nervous for our short term future.

I just fucking knew Carl Palmer was buying us! Brilliant drummer too, by the way and lives in Handsworth, so pretty handy for nipping down to the ground.

Carl Palmer lives in Handsworth?!

[mr underhill]

well he used to. He was certainly born there. And I'm talking about the ex Atomic Rooster drummer Carl Palmer!

[The Laughing Policeman]

Yep he's a Brummie born and bred and went on to achieve fame and fortune with Emerson Lake and Palmer.
Here he is in full flow.......
And a word of warning, I think the producer was under the influence of some pretty good acid.

[curiousorange]

I've spent all day wondering how a man can go from a band that was so big each member needed their own tourbus, to living in Handsworth.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Saw him at the Odeon in the 70s with Emerson and Lake.

Great drummer, bit shit in the defensive midfield role.
;-)

[brian green]

He played for us on the Ringway in the 60s in a group called The Vampires if memory serves.   So many of them. So loud.

Speaking of Carl Palmer and Atomic Rooster, I used this song by way replying to a plangent post earlier in the year.
