Dear Marge Bit of advice needed,if you feel like giving it. After being told that folks were fed up of hearing the Same Old ,me and Ste started a small night of our own,trying to play something different and invited guests along of the same frame of mind. we've been going for a little over a year and are still being asked to " play something we know" "have you got the Snake" not being complete fascists we play 'em when we got 'em but my mate is getting a lot pissed off and thinks we should say f*ck it buy a box of Stadust and join the herd. What do you reckon?? Discontented of Heywood

Fairy Nuff Tony

Had this for a while and played it out coupla times, but I think that the production could have been better as the vocals seem cut a bit low. What do you think yourself? Tony

Probably been done before, but can you recall any tune that on first hearing you thought "yeah this could go"? Example back in the dark ages(early 70's for you young 'uns), me and my mate both got copies of Hoagy Lands "theme from the other side",only rick got a copy with the vocal ont'other side " Friends and Lovers", which at the time we both thought was bloody good but it never did nowt. Anymore for anymore? Todge

Just a touch too young for The Wheel First went to The Pendulum in'72, which I might add was done deliberately cos I wanted to hear Soul and not Terry tinsel etc. Anyway did not know a single sound,but was totally gobsmacked. I now know what was what of course and would have to say that the standout tune(then) was Exus Terk- Luther Ingram Cheers Tony

That Jimmy Ruffin is a good version TP

Aye well, we all live in hope, I picked up a beautiful Mint Red & White Stateside Demo by The Dillards. Could be Moses & Joshua thought I.... WRONG Worst piece of Shit kicking C&W ever. Mind you tis not all bad. I played it backwards His wife came back The dog came back to life and the River brought his Farm back Tony

Oh I don't know. "Oh Baby" is a good solid dancer tony

Nah mate Dave & Ansel Collins is Double Barrel or Monkey Spanner, You mean Ashton .Gardner & Dyke And yes Wild World is lovely Tony

Well that's half an hour sorted...anymore?? TP

Abso-f*ckin'-lutely Tony

Anything you care to mention by Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes when Teddy P. was lead vocal. Tony

Know where you are coming from, however the intention is to play some tunes for Ste at the Vic on Sunday and no matter how pissed he gets I can't see him dancing to that So it'll have to be either Fontella Bass- I Can't Rest or Gil Scott Heron- The Bottle or Creations--Oh Baby We getting there Tony

Thanks Rev You Coming??? Tony

That's the Spirit TP

Suggestions please for a cheesy baby related play list to celebrate my mate Steve's new arrival(see events) Fred Hughes- Baby Boy Juanita williams--Baby Boy Paris--Sleepness Nights and the rest?? (The Cheaper the better, I've got to get em' by Sunday) Gracias Amigos Antonio

OOOOHH Cecil Parker. Thanks for reminding me, what a lovely tune this is. Id better stick it back in me box for The Vic Cheers Tony

Yeah, all good stuff so far. Looking forward to Saturday. Standing in the Shadows Tony

Have to drag me old B&S's out but it was always referred to as Paint Yourself as the A side there and spoken of as big a hit as Too Late. Don't matter that much though do it? Not worth more than a tenner Tony

Could be wrong about the figures, but thought it crossed over to become a sizable pop hit Tony

When you get to my age you remember these tunes from first time round. This was a massive hit in the states early 70's sold hundreds of thousands at around the same time as Cornelius Bros Too Late,another huge hit so cannot in way be rare. £10 absolute tops. Tony

'Twas Betty Swann Make Me Yours, and yes Soul sneaks into the oddest places. I walked into TK Maxx last week and stopped dead to hear Roy Ayres Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Where'd that come from? Tony

Just like the Old Spiderman mural at The Carlton in Warrington (OK Spiderman, If you don't wanna Dance-- Piss Off) Who remembers that?? Tony

Dunno pal. But one of the last to see him would be Ricky Warburton from Salford. You should be able to ask him Sunday Tony
