BOS Wall of Sleep. I was always a sucker for hair like Jeannie Shrimpton.
Let's get right to it.

"she had hair like Jeanie Shrimpton back in 1965..."



VHM Smithereens -- their sound was fresh in '86. Too bad they ran it into the ground.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I'll see your Shrimpton hair & raise you!



ETA: courtesy of Wikipedia:

Shrimpton graduated from Lucie Clayton's modelling school at the age of 17 in 1960.

By the time she was 18, Shrimpton was already internationally famous with her face having appeared on the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Vanity Fair.[3]

In 1965, Shrimpton caused a sensation in Melbourne, Australia, when she arrived for the Victoria Derby race during Melbourne Cup week. She shocked everybody by wearing a white shift dress which ended 10 cm (3.9 in) above her knees, a forerunner of the miniskirt which became a worldwide craze (this dress was designed and made by the young fashion designer, Colin Rolfe). Moreover, she wore no hat, stockings or gloves and wore a man's watch, which was very unusual at the time. Shrimpton was unaware she would cause such reactions among the then-prim Melbourne community and media.

In her article "The Man in the Bill Blass Suit", Nora Ephron tells of the time when Jean Shrimpton posed for a Revlon ad in an antique white Chantilly lace dress by Bill Blass. Minutes after the lipstick placard hit the drugstores, the Revlon switchboard lit up with calls from women demanding to know where they could buy the dress.[4]

The fashion trendsetter was also a heartbreaker to many glamorous men she knew during her time as a world famous cover girl (including a stint as the face of Yardley of London). She was once engaged to '60s photographer David Bailey, on whom the David Hemmings character in the movie Blowup was based. They met on a shoot for a Corn flakes advertisement. His friend told him she was too posh for him, but Bailey was undeterred and the two subsequently had a relationship for four years. Her other celebrated romance was with actor Terence Stamp. As one of the most beautiful couples among the trendy denizens of Swinging London, the two seemed a perfect couple to outsiders, but Shrimpton dumped him, citing the actor's narcissism. Stamp has said that the break-up pushed him into anguish and despair, while she was quoted in a newspaper interview saying she doubted he ever loved her.[citation needed]

Shrimpton eventually found a more enduring love with her photographer husband Michael Cox, with whom she has a son, born in 1981. They currently run a small hotel in Penzance, Cornwall. Her younger sister Chrissie was also an actress, romantically linked to both Mick Jagger and Steve Marriott of The Small Faces.

She was mentioned in the Smithereens song "Behind the Wall of Sleep", which contains the opening lyrics "She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965".

Yes, but oh god I love this song.  BOS.  It sounds like something that should be played alongside "Don't You (Forget About Me)" on every Hot AC station.

I'll see your Shrimpton hair & raise you!

Just watched Peter Watkins' satirical Privilege the other night.  Stars Paul Jones as a pop star media product and Jean Shrimpton as the artist who tries to help him break out of his gilded gage.

The extras on the DVD Include a film done in 1962 called Lonely Boy, a documentary of the rising pop star Paul Anka. The Film Board of Canada produced it, and Peter Watkins made no secret that he based much of Privilege on the Paul Anka movie.

I'll take this over most of the other Call songs we're subjected to.

OMG -- Privilege is a MAJOR fave of mine, I've been urging Gaz to see it for years.  Great stuff, and very much of its time.  "And did those feet, in ancient time..."

this katrina's so bright, I gotta, well, you know...

nice picture, but Dave only ever played this twice in the past 5 years, the same amount as "Hairstyles & Attitudes" which I considered to be one of his all-time deep tracks.

anyone wanna guess how often Dave played "Sledgehammer" in the Db era?

I'd already peeked by the time you posted this, but it's not as much as I'd have guessed. Which I should have guessed.

BOS4 Hannah & Her Sisters; BOS5 Smiths.  This really is one of the best '86 sets ever.
