Or was this from The Fleet? Long time ago!

Whatever happened to this since Soul Sam stopped playing it?

I remember seeing an acetate years ago with just the word 'blue' written on. I think Pat Brady played it out as Jerry Cook - Since I Lost My Baby. Anyone know anything more about it? Was it ever released?

Pete Here's a snippet of it cleaned up and at the right speed. Vocal's UK don't you think?

Sounds about right Ted, my sample's only 89 seconds Bit 'Tough Girl' at the very begining

What are doing, Ian, collecting records with 'out of the' in the title?

The Stunners - Nobody But Me also has the line 'coming on strong' in it which is more mid-tempo than NW

Don't think it got much of a push because he died of a coronarly a few months later, aged 38/9. Nige bought Sam's,don't what happened to it when he sold. Bought mine form Black Grape.

T.S.O.B AKA The Sound Of Boston

It's an earlier studio take by John Bowie, which when you play it, the singing and sparse backing sounds a touch too slow. The last time I saw it Rob Thomas had just bought back from the US so god knows where it is now he as 'retired'. There's probably a recent cut of it from when I cleaned and speeded up the original for him a couple of years ago.

Totally agree Brett, looks beautiful too!

Prefer the original by Johnny Bristol. The Real Thing were previously the Chants. Worth checking out by them are 'Baby I don't need your love' and a cover of 'I get the sweetest feeling' on RCA, plus 'I've been trying' on Chipping Norton. Doesn't Crufts starts at the weekend?, Chris Amoo won on the 1987 with an Afghan hound called Viscount Grant

Thanks Sheep. So Martin Barnfather bought it in West Winch and then first played at? Coved up?

I'd plump for another Motown outing, Jimmy Ruffin - Don't Feel Sorry for Me on Miracle. 45th birthday this year!

Values please for: Magicians - Just A Little Faith & Understanding M Carla Thomas - I'll Never Stop Loving you E+ thanks

Does anyone know when and where Danny Monday was first played? Who first played it first and did they cover it up at the time? I've been told it was Va Va's by Pep and it was covered, but probably not the case. Also, does anyone remember having a copy of it with 4 strips of 'masking' tape stuck over both sides?

Does any one know if this came out twice with slightly different takes? Thanks

Just found a different mix of Curtis - 'How can I tell her' which is different to the 12" version @ 4:17 long. Anyone know if is released or even where it might have come from?

You can't really plug a record deck into your PC's sound card because the signal from the stylus is so low. Old amps with a phono / record deck input have a preamp built in where as most new amps don't so you need an external pre-amp; you can use this kind of pre-amp between your record deck and the line in on the PC's sound card (blue socket). You can buy them with music cleaning software from PC world, but for about £40 can buy a better quality basic on from hi-fi shops.

It does sound quite like Deon Jackson, maybe a relative? :-) I'd like it to be the Monzas, they've got a saxophonist and some girls for the backing singers

Ps...The other Annabelle Fox on Satin "Gettin' Through to me" is also brilliant...and cheap.....(i think !)
