Posted: January 20, 2013 in jam and lewis, just be good to me, on the rise, sos band, tabu records, takeaway, takeaway shopBack in Early1988, things were now going really Slowly in the Takeaway, Business were getting less and less, but I thought “Things would Pick-up when the Weather got Better” I was just about Hanging on to the Business!
One of the Worst things I Remember was Every Saturday Morning, the Landlord Used to Visit for his Rent, his Name was Peter Samson, He Lived in Nearby Lowestoft and had a Business Selling Flowers.
As I said I Never liked Saturday Morning’s or him for that Matter, I always had to Scrape the Rent Together at the Last Minute, (even going as Far as to Take Monies out of our Housekeeping), what I did not like about him is, Apart from his Manner, was he must have Known the Previous Tenant’s Struggled, and Probably knew they Cooked the Books as well!
Over this Slow Period I found Myself Making less and less Homemade Stuffs, because I Never had the Money to Buy Any Ingredients, I used to Stand there “Willing Customers to come in and Buy Something”
I Remember I had a Tv in the Shop, behind the Counter, I found Myself watching that More and More, as Time went by!
A Couple of things I well Remember around this Period were, I used to Leave my Money for the Next Days Chips at the back of the Till, No one could See it though, I had to Leave the Cash with the Owner of the Paper Shop (nearby), the Night Before, as the Spud Bloke used to come Early the Following Day and he Paid him for me!
Anyway I had a Couple of Idiots that used to come into the Takeaway and Buy Some Chips now and again, now they Must have seen me one Night putting the £6 behind the Till.
A Couple of Days later they came back in, and Asked for something other than Chips, so I had to go out back and get whatever they asked for, so I got what they Wanted and they Paid and went out of the Shop, when I went to put there Monies in the Till, I Noticed the £6 Gone, what a Pair of Arseholes, as if I had Monies to Waste, I Never saw that Pair Again!
Another Memory was, I once gave this Boy of about 12 Years of Age, about £5 Worth of Takeaway and he had about £1, so I let him have the Food and he was going to bring the Money back the Next Day, I also Never saw him again!
Perhaps I should have Known then, that “This Business is Never going to be a Success”
=======================================================
Now for some Music, back in 1983 The SOS Band Released their 9th Single, Entitled “Just Be Good To Me” from their 4th Album “On The Rise”
The Single and Album was on the Tabu Record Label and Written and Produced by “Jam and Lewis”
The Single Turned out to be The SOS Band’s Biggest Hit in the UK and Reaching Number 2 on the US R&B Chart.
Over their Recording Period (8 Albums and about 11 Years) “The SOS Band” had some Great Music, I think their Best Stuff was when it involved “Jam and Lewis” they had some Great Tracks!
This Track being one of the Best!
