Also the drummer in Electric Flag with Michael Bloomfield, possibly the greatest white blues guitarist that ever lived. I am biased of course. You can see Buddy hit the sticks in this clip of Electric Flag at Montery Pop 67. Great drummer. RIP Buddy...

Be careful though Mel. I bought a MINT demo last year for $200 & it sounded terrible. There was a thread on it a while back, something to do with dodgy mastering. The issue is also affected. It irked me so much in the end I sent it back to the seller & he refunded me. What a tremendous record though.

thanks chaps.

Any info on this please - a US release? Value etc...

Doris Troy on Toast please. Groan...

Chic was from Brum originally, wasn't he?

It's from the Spanish 'Para gustos hay colores..' Roughly meaning 'If tastes were colours, there's always red if you don't like yellow'. A bit of Spanglish mate! M

This is just down to taste basically, & for taste there are all kinds of colours. What?

70's is such a mixed bag too. If we're talking big, hoary 70's classics. "I can see him loving you" leaves me cold, but "wash & wear love" makes my hair stand on end. "seven day lover" is in my top 10, but I can't stand "on the real side" (sorry). "love factory" or '"cashing in" reach my parts, but "time passes by" or "what took you so long" don't. It's a shame to knock it all, no?

I think it's human nature in that we all like to hear something that's at least familiar to us. I heard Ray Agee 'I'm Losing Again' for the first time a couple of years ago. I was at the 100 Club, & after hearing a rake of familiar sounds like tamiko jones, joe matthews etc, on came this record that made me put down my pint at the bar & run for the nearest 'knowledgeable head' for info. the record is obviously not a newie, but it was new to me. I was simply blown away. I think we have to distinguish between the new & the merely unfamiliar. I think even the most hardened oldies only guy/gal would be open to a sound like Ray Agee. It also has to be said that even at an oldies nights we might get to hear something unfamiliar. I can think of loads of tunes where I've thought to myself 'how the feck did this pass me by?'. Recent examples for me would be Johnny Daye 'Keep On Loving You Baby' & the wonderful (for me) Jive Five 'Your A Puzzle'. Must I have had cloth ears in 1976 or were they simply conditioned to home in on other sorts of stuff? Am I misunderstanding the thread?

it's funny how we all perceive records differently, isn't it? Nice to hear those recollections of yours JB. Talking of the Yum-Yums, isn't that a truly rare record today? Unlike all these Lorraine Chandlers and Jean Carters that seem to be clogging up Ebay lately.

Thanks for that Bozaboy. Much as I like Dusty, I too have to say it's Susan Barrett for me. Why wouldn't it be played today? I wouldn't have considered it a played out oldie. Never heard it much, even back then. Was this played at the Mecca first? Cheers, M

Anybody know what you'd be expected to pay for this today? Am I right in assuming the stocker is also more sought after than the WD.

I forgot to mention two other zealot high priests; andreus ferrerus & jonah, who cuts a biblical figure to this day. The land of Hereward was even to receive the visit of an emissary from the court of Genhis Khan. Eduardus Din. I never quite managed get his drift. Most probably spoke a strange Guang Zhou province dialect. Macca. p.s. I blame the beer Paul. Never in the field of human ebriety has anyone got so rat arsed so quickly.

Darrell Banks - Somebody Else Somewhere Needs You I agree with the sentiments of this song, & that person is often just round the corner, oh' yes...

Mention should be also made of the fen-dwelling descendents of the Iceni, whose estimable contribution to the Godin's Wall Cult gave rise to some key middle period sanctuaries such as wirrinae, st. ivus & ketteringae. the earliest manifestation of the cult in this region drew its inspiration from greek mythology, with allusions to mythical birds rising from ashes. this denomination did cause a certain amount of dissent in the rank & file, whose general ignorance of the classics (due to the educative blight that was secondarius modernus) led them to horribly mispronounce the name of the shrine. Perhaps Quetzal or Griffon might have been a wiser choice, but being a neophyte at the time, I was hardly in a position to draw this to the attention of the zealot high priests PK, Biffo, Spena & Paulus Donellius.

Think the peterborough lot might be able to shed some light on this one...

Thanks Dave. Lovely record in my opinion. M

sad to say I never met Frank in person, but I did get to know him through Carms's /R&B list. What an eclectic taste in music the guy had, I have to say I learnt quite a lot from him in the few short months that he contributed on there. he touched a few hearts on that site, I can tell you. M

Anybody got a value for this on a Modern issue, please? Cheers, M

Met Lee in Gij³n in 2006. We knocked back a few mahous in the warm up session in the Bola 8. His sets were the musical highlight of that weekend. You probably won't remember me from that mad, mad weekend Lee, but I'd just like to wish you a speedy recovery mate. cheers, Macca.

a sniping poster? it'd be nice if you would respect my miniscule input ? I occasionally get taken to task by people like you? you seem to know me well se±or barry, woggle or no woggle. ;-) M
