The Gaylettes On Black Jack
I love it. It was written in 1966/7 by Jesse James, he of 'Love is alright' Northern fame. He persuaded the Philadelphia DJ Sonny Hopson to to form the Black Jack label with him. Not only couldn't they get it promoted, but they shortly afterwards had a big local hit with 'Boogaloo Down Broadway' by The Fantastic Johnny C (Corely). I presume the stock of the Gaylettes was then forgotten about and/or trashed. Love is Alright was also released (Cliff Nobles) but after a couple of months radio play got nowhere so they flipped it and 'The Horse' was played, leading to a huge hit that sold 2 million copies. I'd like to think the lead of the Gaylettes was Shirley Turner.

Up Front?
Genuine question. I’ve seen the term ‘up front’ in a few threads and presume it’s used like oldies, modern, crossover etc. Are there specific venues and DJ’s? What tunes would be classed as examples of this genre and are any of them considered as ‘classic’ up front sounds or would that be an oxymoron?

Tracklistless
15+ years ago I decided to digitise my collection of cassette tapes swaps, but soon got bored and never kept the track listings. Obviously, the tapes are older, 20 to 25 years ago.. I thought I'd stick some of them up on Mixcloud. Nearly all 60's, maybe labelled as 60's 'newies' back then? https://www.mixcloud.com/hippopotami/ I've never owned the records.

Not Had A Natter About Watches For A While
It's a years old technique , my father told me about it, and he was taught it 80 years ago!

Not Had A Natter About Watches For A While
Take the strap off, if not a metal one. Get a suitable container i.e. glass or porcelain, and put a little measure of paraffin in it. Take the back off the watch and suspend it a few centimetres above the container. Leave over night in a warm place. Put the watch somewhere warm and well ventilated to remove the excess paraffin residual. It will now be cleaner and lubricated.

The Kinettes - Sweating - Alvin Cash - 45 Out Spring
No, Joan, there's worse: - (Just A Little) Faith And Understanding by The Magicians. I'll never believe this was a 60's recording until I've had a panproctocolectomy. I always wondered what the vocal to the Kinettes would be and envisaged it might be 'I'm off down the pub' Any guesses to what the vocal to The Michigan Mood' could be?

Are any of the above recomendations still valid? My boss can't grasp the concept of this and insists on trying to bid in the last few seconds. It'll will need to be free and very simple, something along the lines of a copy & paste thanks

Cleaning The 'sound' On A Record
If you want to reduce the hiss while playing the record out, get a small pump-action spray bottle, the finer the spray the better. Fill it with (only) isopropyl alcohol. Spay the grooves and play it. Usually by the time it's finished playing the isopropyl will have almost evaporated. You can also use it to clean vinyl & styrene records in general.

Peterborough 82 (Live Tape Uploaded)
There was definitely a niter at the Wirrina on august 14th in '82 - every other record was a Joe Tex, as he died the day before. I remember it well, and marred the Commitments for a few people by pointing out that Joey 'The Lips' Fagan couldn't have been on tour with Joe Tex has he had died some years earlier. I think Johnny 'Fingers', on here, was DJing too. It may be 'quiet' because the roller scatting arena at the Wirrina was several time bigger than Fletton's Fleet Community Centre? I can't remember The Fleet being active at that time
