I see Syng Mcgowan That's What I want seems to be getting a few more airings lately. Heard a version at weekend, bit slower, anybody know owt? Cheers tony

We already had one, albeit with a roof. Queens Hall Leeds. "Our very own Woodstock" as Mr. Elson wished it would be. Oh well. Tony

May I just say that if you haven't got one,that Johnson Hawkins etc would be the best tenners worth you get this year Tony

Great Old Tune. Along with the likes of Tammi Lynn,Fascinations, The Tams Arthur Conley and countless Motown sides what I call Youth Club music and probably where most of us older feckers got a taste for the music. Tony

Being that all those "girls" in No Angels are P*sshead Slappers is the soundtrack a form of subliminal messaging ??? OOps tp

Huddersfield Rev.? Ive heard of it. Where Men are Men!! and so's half the women Tony

Asked Carl W about it when he played it at one of our do's and yes he reckoned it was recorded by Vietnam vets hence as you say Survivors. BTW isn't it Good Baby?? Tony

And of course there is Knocked Down Kicked Around--Rose Hargrove, that I ve been known to spin(Yet another good cheap 'un) Tony

Thats about all I can remember for now, see you Easter Sunday I hope Tony

Just to say big thankyous to all who turned up on Sunday. Only our 2nd night down here but the great turnout made it all a bit special. I intended putting up a list of the cheap stuff that me and Ste played, but I'm a bit knacked so I'll do it later in the week. Also must give a shout for all who turned with stuff to play,tried to accomodate you all but a bit of warning would have been nice Anyway thanks for the tunes from Sid Jones Matchie Eddie Killer and apologies to those we couldn't find a spot for(give us ring for f*cks sake). Our next do is Easter Sunday Half Dayer from 5 til 12.30, will post up details of guests and that nearer. Thanks All See ya soon Tony

I'll have to learn to type faster, I was gonna ask that Tony

Be fair Paul , an oil change on a carpet that big is some f*cking job. See ya Sunday Tony

Judging by the response, or rather lack of , on Mr Searling's show yesterday I guess the answer is no. Tony

No No folks The Very Bestest Version is by The Rippingtons with Jeffrey Osborne on Vocals. Now, where can I get one??? Tony

No I'm not! Is OK but , I won't take it personally TWANGGGGGG

Jo' s enquiry about the Stevie Wonder Tour just got the old memory banks going,and called to mind the time back about 1977 when I was courting the young lady who was to become my wife. We were out for a drink one Thusday night in The Rainy City(Manchester) and decided to go to Placemate,which for your information was the Club that took over the premises of The Twisted Wheel. Anyway, we rolls up to pay us money and they ask for £1.50 each, "coo thats a bit stiff why?" "Well there's a group on." "Oh Shit(1977 remember) who?" "Err somebody called Junior Walker" Three Quid no problem and a great night had by all Anybody owt similar? Tony

Don't remember that tour bit before my time But I do remember about 1970 he appeared at The Odeon Cinema along with (I Think) Martha Reeves & The Vandellas,I couldn't go because being so young me Mam wouldn't let me go into town at night Anyone remember that one?

No news then?? Only my future ex-wife ain't into it an' I have to book me allnighter pass-out well in advance. Cheers Tony

Yeah tis excellent. have you seen The Five Heartbeats--fictionised story of The Dells?? or though I'm not his biggest fan -RAY--- brilliant Tony

Just need to know, for purely selfish reasons Ta Tony

I was given tickets for the film about Ray Charles this week, and while he ain't exactly my cuppa tea,it is excellent. The reviewers tell you at 2 1/2 hours its a bit long----Wrong--imo it aint long enough. Go and see for yourself. And get the order in for theDVD Tony

I prefer I Can't Stop The Rain by Mr. Ruffin, Also look out for two 70's Motown hidden gems David Ruffin--I'm just A Mortal Man Edwin Starr --Love, The Lonely Peoples Prayer. 2 superb laid back growers Cheers Tony

Yes This Poor Heart of Mine is excellent. Re your other point, does anyone have definitive info on which tracks Tammi didn't sing on?? I believe that it was most of the United lp and that the singer was actually Valerie Simpson. Anyone know for sure? Tony

Funny How Time Slips Away--Joe Hinton Awesome tune, we used it as our last record at The Piccadilly Club(M/cr) in the mid 70's. Some kind soul gave it to me on a Vocalion demo. Thankyou. Cheers Tony

Can't keep up with the other thread, its taken on Biblical proportions. However I see that M&T were thrown in the maelstrom, sooo here goes Deep Breath.... Whats your favourite?? 2 from me Memory Chest I can' t believe you love me. Tony
