Citizen P

No mention yet of the Classic by, I think this is the right name. Irene"Granny"Reid. Yep, Granny Clampett from The Beverly Hill Billys. I've seen it, but never heard it, fank God. One for the completists ?? Tony

Yeah, it's good stuff, my girls bought for me for Crimbo 'bout 5 years back. Now The Five Heartbeats- saw it on telly ONCE, thought it was excellent-did it ever get to DVD?? Two or three of the same actors in both, if memory serves. ATB Tony

Must be time for a pop at Marvin Gaye now, I mean " What's Going On". What the f*cks that all about?????? Tony

Well that sounds the same as on The Tears Of a Clown LP. Always likes it,hazza kinda "Cry to Me" lilt doncha think? ATB Tony

Absolutely, must be terrible being a Yank ATB Tony

Ahh, I see perhaps I didn't express myself correctly. My point was that some people tend to dismiss any work that falls outside of the Northen Spectrum. And Stevies output crosses all boundaries and is (mostly) top notch. ATB Tony

I've got a couple of B&W, but without checking the labels, can't be sure. Tony

I must admit to finding myself a little confused. You say you disagree, err with what exactly?? Tony

If we are talking SOUL, and not Northern, then i have to agree Stevie is GENIUS (allbeit wivva bit of crap thrown in, but hey a payday's a payday) Songs In The Key of Life is magical from start to finish. Album version of Living For The City is mindblowin' (well it was then) Secret Life of Plants is ,unfortunately,not one of his better works. Tony

And when done correctly definitely adds that something special to instro's like Thumb a ride & Crying Over You ( I prefer the instro side of that'un meself) Tony

And, as a good old fashioned romper stomper, how good is " One Shot Left"????? I'll be giving a whiz at The Junction anyroad Tony

Such Misery ironic really Thanks Folks Tony

Would some kind soul put me(and Salmon) out of my Misery. Billy Prince was the lead singer of...............................???? TIA Tony

Same as Dat! Tony

Which is well worth getting for the fantastic " Memory Chest" alone ATB Tony

I agree with your first point, it's kinda good when your taste in music is met with approval. Just last week doing early doors at Heywood, I played a tune that I'd not played out for a while, and a lad, who I know goes out a least twice a week, came up and said "what was that? it was great" tune in question- I think you got your fools mixed up- Brenton Wood. Value? a fiver? On your second point,I guess we're fairly lucky in Manchester wher there are a coupla shops where you can go and trawl the boxes and have a listen, n pick up anything .that turns your ear Point 3. Definately ATB Tony

Which he had originally intended to offer to The Drifters ATB Tony

I allus stick mine up. (Most of which can be had for under a tenner anyway ) Still, if even Ste can't take notice of what I'm playing, why should anyone else bother Tony

If that's the same Knocker that comes to Heywood, his first name is Mel. ATB Tony

B side of The Key-innit? Tony

Playing it now, Nice Tony

Think "Stepping" was on a B side, but can't swear to it. Tony

Money is on Supremes A Go Go T'other is on Relections but don't tell everyone, they'll all want one ATB Tony

Oh, and The Supremes excellent version of "Money" and " Misery, Makes my Heart It's Home". Tony
