life is too short..... do other things. me, i play drums in 3 bands, i get out on my bike, as much as poss (touring the continent included), i go to gigs, most genres, i support local live music, walk my dogs, meet old mates for a beer, plus, i go to the odd soul night. these days tho, i prefer what you like to refer it as 'handbagger' nights. the commercial/club stuff is to my liking, as is the classic northern soul and the underplayed stuff. if you like a venue, go, if you dont, then stay home , or do other things. (see my first line) as for the future , 10 years ago, i personally thought it was nearing the end, but it clearly isn't . which means , most of us will be enjoying it for a while. thankfully !

sorted, thanks all

i cant listen to his abomination of Tainted love, so i wont even go near this . dreadful !

Get down with it - Little Richard ?

anyone selling the RCA compilation album ?

NO, just NO !! its second, only to the cringeworthy 'oops upside ya head' dance. why would anyone do that ? arrgghhhhhhhhhh !!!

I want a love i can see - Temps : later reissue is fine, US or UK, VG upwards. Tune up - Jnr Walker - (SORTED)

i had a lovely issue of this. seriously underrated vocalist.

any links? ive tried all outlets

not just me then ? im with chalky...

Manchester ritz (all nighter ) . 1982/83 i think . Austin 1100. myself and Neil Olive set off, only to break down on the M62 near huddersfield. Cops gave us 30 minutes to get recovered, or they would do it. so we pushed it off at the nearby junction and parked up in a gateway. where i kipped down on the back seat, with a wool blanket, leaving Neil to freeze in the front ... luckily i had a CB radio (true story), where by a local wannabe mechanic came along in the morning and fixed the distributor, which got us on our way home. daft thing is, another mate, Biz, refused to get in the car with us, coz he said the motor looked a bit dodgy, how right he was. ... Also remember going to Alfreton, only to find we were a week late.

SORTED

nope, the same message comes up. sell me it on here, save muckin about. 👍

i tried buying 3 copies on discogs, but i dont meet the sellers requirements, on any of them. absolute nonsense!!

VIP issue wanted

i believe Martin Calderbank is in possession of a few.....

Sam (107) . brilliant

i didnt know that ... its also very like 'what'd i say' by Ray Charles. lots of riff borrowing, over the decades

absolutely, even the drum pattern. p.s. its much like 'some other guy' by Richie Barrett, also.

the velvelettes TMG, is a sight to behold. lovely.

the uk seller has added to his listing "i think is a 70s reissue"

Fred is still active on the scene, plays some fine records. p.s. anyone know what Malc Burton is doing these days ?

Alfie Davidson , £773 wowzers !

scroll to 10 minutes , she goes through james barnetts , keep on talkin, but then does a 'cover' ? anyway, she's kinda done it justice. I'd love a visit to FAME studios .. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0h43tkl/radio-2s-piano-room-piano-room-month-2024-texas?at_mid=XUpX3Hx7st&at_campaign=Radio_2s_Piano_Room_Texas&at_medium=display_ad&at_campaign_type=owned&at_link_origin=promo_box&at_audience_id=TV&at_product=iplayer&at_brand=p0by3dhy&at_ptr_name=bbc&at_format=image&at_objective=consumption&at_link_title=Radio_2s_Piano_Room_Texas&at_bbc_team=BBC

sounds like 'Give me the night' George Benson
