well I can't remember a single track played with strings. All small groups, perhaps a bit of brass, but all group based. It's just all a bit excessive to these ears, to rich and lacking rawness.

"Sweetening"  was expensive back in the day.

Blue Since I Lost My Baby and My World I think

I think Soulman (Steve H) on here, owned it at one time.

thanks Karl. so is it called 'since i lost my baby' or 'blue'?

Please could you remind what this is actually.

TIA

 in the last 30 seconds

1.       Darling - original take (no pun intended)

2.       My daring, darling, darling, my darling – different vocalist

3.       My daring, darling, darling, my darling – different instrumentation, funky guitar + organ.   2’s vocal over dubbed.

Which comp did the instrumental come out on?

Thanks I'm not going mad then. 🙃

Sorry, didn't realise it was the pier that was the talking point, not Cleethorpe's niters in general.

Just checked and it was still going as a nighter later than 1981. Booker Newberry was 1983 and another was the Dramatics I Cant Stand It which was 1982 as a new release

Andy

Last niter I went to at WG was Saturday 3rd 1983.

Born 1925

1942 – Atlantic conveys to Archangel and Murmansk.

My hero

It was the date when  I was refused entry to Wigan as everyone would think I was DS. Should have sued for breaking my ankle in that hole in Mr M's!

Erm, what was that, northern soul on a Bontempo?

1. when you released a record recently and then include it on your 'greatest hits 1872 - 2023 you know your musical career is over. Presumptions or what? OK, so your auditioning it at Glastonbury this year, but not on the Legends slot yeah?

2. if you are going to do a cover, make an effort, put your own style on it, try BBC Live Lounge style  as opposed to a karaoke bar.

e.g.

The copy i saw definitely had 1872 on the label 'Not for Sale - Promotion Only', maybe it was an Advance Copy (boom, boom)

NO not after a sound file, just then info

If you can get me a good sound file of the 'moods' acetate, I'd be eternally grateful. I don't know anyone, except Carl who would be able to provide one or indeed has one.  My question was really to see if someone would post up 'where have you been living, in a cave?'   It's ABC, on the b side of XYZ that came out on Casino Classics in 1872 with a picture sleeve in Azerbaijan.

@Pumpkinseed Carl will have all the info on the Moods

Good luck with that one Karl, I've known Carl for 40 years +and for half of those I've been trying to get a sound file off him to no avail. Although he did once offer to hum it down the phone for me! 🙂

Thanks, memory jogged. MM was labelled as the  Phonetics Band. It was amongst those Detroit instrumentals that Guy Hennigan had about 40 years ago

The 'Moods' is a one sided Bell Sound acetate that I last had in my hands 20 years ago give or take a week. Only got two 'recordings' of it when Carl Fortnum played it out. I'm sure it came via a UK dealer

Not really into instruments, but love these two

1. The Michigan Move    Mafmon pressing

2. Moods   Bell Sound acetate

Have their correct titles ever been established? Better still,

is there a vocal in existence?

TIA

Does Carl F still have the Moods acetate

no idea

hope this helps (left the silences to help with reverence points)

Came across this article, quite interesting

Seen all three. Acting doesn't improve, waited for Stephen Graham to come and save the day., unfortunately he did not make an appearance. 3/10 in respect of 'dead man's shoes' Next Wednesday at 9, turn over to ITV and watch the first episode of Manhunt !

Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland - the 5 episodes are in BBC Iplayer

I found this a definite 'must watch'

they say don't talk about religion and politics which is what this about, but then again it isn't, it's about the people living through the times of 'The Troubles' Probably better explained here:

"Contains scenes that some people may find upsetting"

remember it now, i think it was from a CD swap that we once did on SS, from Val

You're a star, you've made very old man, very very happy!
