I was in Bath on Saturday to see my boy Alex - he's a performer with the NoFit State Circus (says Dad proudly - check out their website - www.nofitstate.com - and go and see the show, it's fecking brilliant! But don't expect any red noses or animals - this is circus with attitude). Anyway, back to the subject.......parked the wagon in a multi-storey behind the bus station and saw a BMW with the registration V2 5OUL. Just curious as to whether anyone knows whose it is?

It's alright, if that bluesy style is your bag. Nothing special. But it doesn't fall into the genre of early r n b that does mine and many other people's heads in.

I am pleased and proud to say, I have never danced to Doug Banks, nor will I. Frankly, I would rather dance to Barclays Bank..................it's less embarrassing.

Well said John...................YEEHAW!! Ewe shaow gort a purtty mowth boy..........................keep it in the Teddy Boy rooms.

I don't wanna bin the whole R n B thing as there are some superb records, but so much of it is pants to my ears and sounds like Vic Reeves doing his pub singer thing............"Eeeef a ewe dun currrrmmm........weeealll........ewed bitta curlll.........."

Classic example of this would be the Porgy & the Monarchs 2nd issue on the brown Musicor label with "Think Twice Before You Walk Away" on the b-side (though the song is not actually "Think Twice..." but something about "It's A Dream I've Always Had"). I stand to be corrected by better people than me, but I think this is the only release of that track? As such, I guess that qualifies as an orig and is a tune of outstanding danceability to my humble ears and one I was delighted to hear on odd occasions at the Dome, spun, I think, by Carl Fortnum...................

With you there Pete. Horrible.

Nothing new there. Been done before mate - Theme From Joe 90, On The Brink (theme to BBC's Play For Today), Coloured Man...............the dreaded list goes on.

First heard this when Edwin used to spin it at the Riverbank, Cardiff. We put it on an anniversary CD and it seemed to pick up interest. Amongst regular DJs, I think Nigel Shaw and/or Kim Cook play it out sometimes.

Doesn't match with your first post "I know of Smoke on Choc.city, havent heard of Black Smoke!"

Eclectic selection.......................who the hell is Bernard Burgalat? Sounds like a wind-up or some Belgian pop singer off Eurotrash!

Any idea what Cecil Lyde's "I'll Make It On My Own" on Alwest goes for? Thanks.

Dave...you never cease to amaze me. Your taste is impeccable, probably because it coincides with mine. I never knew you were a Pet Sounds fan. This is one of the most stunning pieces of music ever made, surpassed only perhaps by another track from that album, "God Only Knows".

Wow! Forgot that one............superb!

Phil Coulter - Good Thing Going? Maybe not, but I do confess to still loving Al De Lory - Right On and Kiki Dee - Magic Carpet Ride.

Dreadful. What has this got to do with soul?
