The concentration is there, directed straight downwards, looking at your feet. Eyes encased in dark shades so as not to give the game away. A look of nonchalance on your face that does not betray the hours spent building up to this moment. Ankle twists, fast shuffling, leaning forward and a slight shake of the hips as the music commands you to move. All over Britain, kids are sat in front of their family televisions watching your every move. Because ‘Ready, Steady Go!’ Wasn’t just about the pop stars and the visiting American artists presenting their latest songs. It was a snapshot of what was going on now…what clothes are being worn…new hairstyles…and just as important, new dances. This album of mod, dance-craze tunes will make you want to Bump, Watusi or Boogie all night long.
