Nix – What a piece of s***. But my friend Amy had this thing for the Bee Gees and my friend Annie had this thing for Peter Frampton (going in) and then a thing for Steven Tyler (coming out), so I saw the film about 50 times over the summer because I had a thing for peer pressure.

That said, it’s the one film I completely associate with my youth (I was about 12 at the time). It’s total garbage, but if I happen to catch it on (like say some channel has to run it after losing a bet) I’ll be there, watching. Transfixed. And, a little horrified.

Hattie – Always admired the Beatles for their songs, but sadly only watched that film prob once maybe it was shown with more popularity with you there but here we sorta didnt see it that much odd that as are such a brill group… mine here has to be bee gees( sat night fever film) is interesting to see that it maybe did better in the states……… cool film when i did see it

Nix – I don’t recall it being popular with the general public, beyond my two friends loving it, or loving people who were in it (I can’t imagine they truly loved it, though they said they did at the time). I was old enough to know the critics hated it, and I was already into music enough to know a great sacrilege had taken place.

I do remember feeling sort of embarrassed for the performers. Like, if they didn’t have the sense to feel bad about what they were doing, then I would.

Hattie – WOW James
If that is correct it is fairly impressive maps tv film music and theatre all out for the next so many years after

Nix – One can only assume the “guests at Heartland” bit is testimony to the power of the sentence, “There’ll be coke”.

James Blast – Heartland means something entirely different to me

Lainybins – Some of the cover versions of the Beatles songs weren’t bad (apart from “Fixing A Hole” which was truly dreadful). I had the double album and accompanying poster for years but sadly can’t seem to find them now. I can’t believe I got rid of the records, hoarder of clutter that I am!

James Blast – Aerosmith’s Come Together is killer!

Awombleforever – I recently picked up the album of this, don’t remember playing it,I’ll have to dig it out one day and have a listen.
