Yes Paul, now on the dark side......but wish to point out that I've been a shady character for some time. Look fwd to said new venture

Did you know, your Staines railway station (where you work) was staffed almost entirely with Teds in the 70s. It was a pretty weird place.

Chatted to a couple up at Plinston that were into rockabilly. They were enjoying the night & I did ask them what they thought. They were amazed how friendly the northern scene was. According to them, you're either full into rockabilly or not. They don't welcome 'tourists' the same way that we do. If we'd turned up at one of their dos its quite likely that we would have been ignored all night. Having said that, it was only one couples views & this post is not to dis a scene that I know eff all about. Col.

I subscribe to the publish & be damned group, so the answer to the first question is no! Will pm you re Tooting

Thanks for that Andy, just had a PM from another member to that effect. Apparently quite cheap too. Col

This is brilliant (IMO ) New to me & took me a few plays to really get into it. Superb example of the Gospel Crossover genre - whatever that is. Think Harold Melvin on steroids. Hope you enjoy it - all comments welcome Col

I'm smarting.

Did you know Dave that Junior & The Classics is actually Junior Walker & The Gospel Classics. The track was recorded at Aston Villa in 1974.

Oh and what do you think of this?

If we're still having fun, can I recommend this as one with a potential to go massive

Have this but never played b side Anyone got a soundfile for B side of Innersection?

Yep thats a goodie. On a par with Wynonie Harris - Loving Machine - Song is litterally about a bloke who builds a loving machine in his house. "You put a nickel in the slot.." etc etc Does what it says on the can

I've had many a titter whilst listening to that track

Ever considered double decking with Ken

Recently refound this in the cupboard! Brillian mid temo soulful record. But lyrics a bit dodgy. "I know, I know,I know, I know, I know,I know, you know that I know & I'm telling y'all that I know. Do you know what life is all about....." Beat that! Col

From the purist in me Fabulous Peps - My Love Looks Good On You/Speak Your Peace From the fun lover in me Gayle Adams - Baby I Need Your Loving A side long version B side short version. Col

Agreed. Feel like I missed out!

Towana Barnes for me

I've just listened to them again Dave & there is some similarity in vocal delivery, but I still ain't buying into it. Where did you receive said duff info from?

Right up there well with Frank Dell etc etc

Yes, its very Albert Hall

Gil Banding is the best oldies record ever Virgil Henry - You Ain't Saying Nothing New is a medioce pile of shite. Chalk n cheese.
