Geeselad

It's one of my favourite albums, but was this played out?

I was at the cement works, think it was called the bee gees club. Got a lift with someone to Aylesbury but only had about £1.50, after records and other essentials😉 my return from London to buzzard wasn't valid. got a train back to London anyway, tried to pretend I was asleep but those ticket inspectors are persistent, he asked where I'd got on, last station I said, the ticket was about, £1.48, close call.

I'd heard about this incident from my brother's mate's. I asked about on a previous thread, the band was slaughter and the dogs, if I remember correctly

There's a duck for you

Recently re-watched Elaine's Constantine's movie, with my son. I noted the disdain the characters give to a friend who wins the dance competition. 'dance competition! It's like Butlins' they exclaim. Was this your input Paul? Was that a true sentiment from the time? I have only a few vague memories of dance competitions in the 80's, generally thinking it killed the atmosphere at nighters, but saw it as just a part of the scene.

Muck fe, that's familiar! I'm now sharing your frustration, 😤

Atmosphere is key, don't mean to be oblique. But it's a combination of everything from the list, great venue half full or shit pit, rammed to the gunnels?

I seriously doubt it! That's unbelievable.

Two great sides, a label that seems to know it's market and has consistently released quality tunes.

Horrible, just wonder where the audience is for this, can't imagine it making radio 2, cheesy soul oldie's nights, I doubt it, you're more likely to fill the floor with Dina Carroll or an early 2000's pop house record. Who's going to buy it?

The basement of Camden record and tape exchange was amazing. Thousands of 45's, used to pick up loads of UK Motown and exchange it with minshull for imports, around 87/88

Quite a few artists it seems, but they are all abismall😂 https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-best-selling-cassette-albums-of-2022__38206/

Tim A told me he bought the first copy from a girl at a dayer late 70's.

I think supertime was speed up for the bootleg pictured above

Sounds a little middle of the road to these ears, struggling to hear the soul in this release. Singer puts me in mind of Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Excellent article, thanks Eddie.

About sums it up, if I was listening to that to see if I'd buy at a car boot it wouldn't get past the ten second mark.

Alex is my favourite artist, he also covered, good night Irene.

You can hear that. I think that muddy album got slated by the traditionalist fans at the times, but possibly went on to inspire a genre

My favourite rock band won't be many folks favourites on here, but I'm always fascinated by what they were listening to and they obviously had great taste. There are other examples but maybe someone else can remind me.

Sad news, regulations and red tape, laws in the US seem worse than in the UK
