What condition is it in.......and whats in the duffel bag?

Nobody got the mp3 file Dobie Grey - What A Way To Go then? Chalky, Pete S? It was played at Yate I think. Col.

The reason I asked, was that the link (on my mac) takes me to a strip of 5 different sound files. I wasn't sure if that file was the one you were referring to. No need to be so snotty. Col. ps I still think it sounds messy.

We are talking about the Benny Harper track here, aren't we? col.

I also heard Dobie Grey - What A Way To Go again this week-end - for the first time in 20 years. Any one able to post up a sound file, please? Col.

Well let me throw caution to the wind and beg to disagree. Its just too frantic. On a more positive note, this turned up on a cd at the week-end. This is what floats my boat.........

Frank Dell - top tune for Ian Clark. Heard it played recently at an oldies nite. Cleared the floor (almost) & the DJ apologised. I was stunned. Col.

You'll have to put Clarky on first, as these days he has to get away early to get the breakfasts sorted. Col

In those day it was common for some promoters to list DJs they had no intention of booking. Remember giving Clarky a lift to Stroud one snow filled day & he was bemoaning the fact that he was (according to ads placed on B&S and Echoes) supposed to be in 4 other places that night. The promoters hadn't even bothered to contact him. Col.

Sounds like a good result for you. But you should probably get them checked over. Colin Bee pressed up this and the pressings were very difficult to tell apart from the original. Heard stories about several people getting duped at Wigan. Col.

Where is this getting played out? Col.

I think this was def. recorded by a lone Willie. Can't believe I just wrote that. Have the LP in front of me still covered up as the Cautions. I suppose I could throw caution to the wind and try de-frocking it. Didn't know it was played at the Mecca. I should also say I have no idea how I acquired the record. Col. Ps have a good time Saturday at your 'pop star' wedding.....

One of the things I like about the scene today, compared with the past is the ease in which you can pick up new tunes. Case to point, a mate has just dropped off a couple of dvds with a load of mp3s on. But, in amongst there are a couple of real comic gems. Dena Barnes - surely some ones having a laugh? Helium filled vocals over Duke Browners backing track. Ann Sexton - having a bad day? No wonder she was poorly received at Wigan Anybody match these - sound files appreciated. Col.

Thanks for the info Gareth - much appreciated. I think you are right the lead singer is def Willie Feaster. On first plays this does sound like Willie & West. But after a couple of plays I can see where Dave Abbott is coming from. There are 2 versions of this record. The Willie & West version is flat by comparison. The version I've posted up is def. more uptempo & manic. It also has added sax breaks. I don't know how to post up for comparison the version by Willie & West from www.soulclub.org/ But its def. different. Col. The version I've posted up is the best version

Advised by the man in the know its Willie & West (also know as Willie & the Magnificents?) This track is off an album. Is there a single with a different version? Any one know who covered it up? Is it now fairly common? Thanks for looking. Col.

Mixed thoughts on it. Like it in some places but not others. Sounds better after a couple of plays. Col PS well impressed by Craig's avitar though. That if I'm not mistaken is the legendary 'Johnny Seven' A true weapon to behold.

The smart money says Dan would like to keep it a secret. Col

"Think of all the beautiful records (or shoes!!) you could buy with that!" Not many records, according to me. Not many shoes, according to my wife

Next night Wednesday 6th July

All depends on numbers logging in & disposable income. If its just a few people every day, then no, unless you've got money to burn. Col.

Thanks for that Dave, but link (assuming thats what it is) on main page to cover ups is dead. Not all bad news though, link to radio section is good - Now listening to a good (mellow) set from Keb Darge in Japan Back to The Cautions I'll try & MP3 it if its not obvious. Col.
