The Handy Shop and Jump Records - South Shields Record Shops

Pictures found on Facebook South Shields Old Pictures

In the day's before iTunes and MP3's and even before CD's vinyl records were the order of the day.
Not everyone could afford brand new Albums or Singles.

In the 70's my Dad would by and sell his records to the Handy Shop in Frederick Street. As a little boy it seemed a treasure trove of vinyl records and picture discs hanging on the wall.
An oldish couple owned it and were always so friendly and enthusiastic about music.

As a teenager in the 80's I discovered Jump Records not far from the Customs House. It seemed like the House of Rock. With rock and heavy metal posters and vinyl ranging from AC/DC to ZZ Top.
The original owner was a quiet guy with cork screw curls and a guitar behind the counter. He didn't say much but he looked like he knew everything about music.

In 1991 it was the place I first heard the Guns N Roses Illusion albums being played and discussed by a group of heavy metal fans, Fond memories.

On the counter was bootleg vinyl which cost the grand sum of £20 - £30. The best of which I bought was Queen Live At Knebworth on Wizard Quest records. (wish I still had it)

With introduction of CD's in the early 90's it never quite seemed the same.
It nice to see a renewed interest in vinyl records.

Queen - We Will Rock You - Guitar Tutorial with guitar tab

How To Play Queen - We Will Rock You from the 1977 album News of the World

In this video we look at the Brian May guitar solo that comes in at the end of the song

Video features guitar tab and close up of the riff being played

"We Will Rock You" is a song written by Brian May and recorded and performed by Queen for their 1977 album News of the World.Rolling Stone ranked it number 330 of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004,and the RIAA placed it at number 146 on its list of Songs of the Century. In 2009, "We Will Rock You" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[4]

Other than the last 30 seconds containing a guitar solo by May, the song is generally set in a cappella form, using only stomping and clapping as a rhythmic beat. In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top ten single. Soon after the album was released, many radio stations began playing the songs back to back without interruption.

Queen - Was It All Worth It - Guitar Tutorial Lesson (with guitar tab)

How to play Queen - Was It All Worth It Guitar Tutorial Lesson

From the 1989 Queen Album The Miracle with classic Brian May guitar solos played on the Red Special Guitar

This takes a look at the whole song and includes guitar tablature

Freddie Mercury wrote this with lyrical ideas by the other 3 band members. The song is semi-autobiographical.

Freddie Mercury did the orchestral interludes note-by-note done on a Korg M1 keyboard.

"Was It All Worth It" was composed by Mercury. The song harks back to the band's intricately produced sound in the 1970s. Though the bulk of the song was masterminded by Mercury, all members contributed ideas and lyrics (for example – Taylor contributed the line "we love you madly!"). Deacon later cited the song as his favourite on the album. Taylor uses a gong and timpani.
