Premium Stuff

That is a great set - much to my liking Cheers Richard

I have that one somewhere. How many issues were there? Cheers Richard

Ok mate. There are instructions at the top of the sales thread I think. PM Rod the Moderator - name on here Modernsoulsucks. If you get stuck PM me tomorrow. Cheers Richard

Read the instructions :-D Richard

It's one on my wants list too Cheers Richard

Three I have that I would describe as R&B are: Sherri Taylor - He's The One Who Rings My Bell (Gloreco) Mack Rice - Baby I'm Coming Home (Lupine) Joe Lewis - Teach Me Right Now (Northern) That is R&B in a Northern scene context. Cheers Richard

How about this one? Al Gardner -I Can't Stand It (Sepia). Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw9_fRh4GMw

Where is it - was there a link? Richard

I like them - would leave them in as I think they add to the record Presumably inserted around the time the record was made/played? Cheers Richard

The other bloke should claim from the PO for this. That packaging isn't good. Why on earth didn't he send it back in the packaging you sent it to him in - that would be the obvious and most sensible thing to do? Cheers Richard

Well, we all know we can't do a top five, or ten, or even a hundred. So here's a challenge ... what is your current top two? Not all time top sounds ... just the two you can't stop playing now Here are mine ... Cheers Richard Bobby Jones - Talkin' Bout Jone's (Expo) - Joe Hunter and Orch on this - awesome - look at the label it's one for the apostrophe freaks Albert Jones - Up To The Sun (Bumpshop) - not the best YouTube - so turn up the volume!

Darn it Tony - isn't that just brilliant? My conclusion is that Linda's voice was best suited to up-tempo numbers - this kept her in control so she could do the right amount of wailing and vocal acrobatics suitable for the song. On her slower, deeper numbers she tends to go too far and wibble all over the place - 'more is less' kind of effect - rather than the right amount. Cheers Richard

Me too - very nice indeed I'm still having this thing with Linda Jones though when she does more than is needed - 'more is less' - rather than 'less is more' (which probably defines my musical taste overall I guess). There's a bit early on where she does a kind of James (Jimmy) Stewart (impersonator) type wobble/wibble thing - which for me detracts Cheers Richard

It's a beautifully crafted song - no doubt Richard

Thankfully I have never had that happen. I have had 3 items go missing - all in one week from 3 different sellers - two in the UK and one in France. The b*stards at Royal Mail did nothing. For damaged items I think you need to surrender them up to make a claim, and the sender needs to claim (rather than the receiver) as they paid for the service. Cheers Richard

I still have my copy too Tim - a great read Cheers Richard

Yep - that is fabulous - one of her best for sure IMO Richard

Richard Smith on Hi-Q is a decent double sider too Richard

Yes, 'no nails' - that's just daft ... try nails!

Mmmmmm I recommend Marmite, cheddar and cucumber sandwiches on fresh brown bread with white pepper Also Marmite on toast with scrambled eggs Richard

The old Marmite jars used to have the instruction 'spread thinly' because it is quite strong. Vegemite tastes quite different - nice for a change Never tried a Vegemite and cheese combination - guess it would work Cheers Richard

It's a yeast extract. The marketing pitch is you love it or hate it. Google it Richard

I had assumed he was after 'Magic Corner'. Richard

Good call Dave Think I have this somewhere. Cheers Richard
