I don't know and I only live a stone's throw away from Craig. I've heard of a "rammall" if thats how it's spelt. Dunno what it means though, people used to say it at school...

It does!

It's no worse than Frankie & Johnny...the vocals are brilliant - better than Marvin & Tammi and Otis & Carla

I didn't like that Billy Stewart treatment of it - though I do like Billy Stewart - love the Virgil Bros version though. They were Aussies I think.

It was subtitled Theme From BBC's Wednesday Night Play or similar on the label

St. George has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' about him

Not enough synths and electric percussion in there for you??

Always nice to hear that the artists are ok - Frank Howard case in point. There's a link on that blog to another track off The Beat which I never posted up, a really glorious group harmony record that many of you will definitely enjoy

I'll swap you Lockes Theme for it

It's not even double tracked...I really like this, in fact I think this is one of those extremely rare occasions where I like a record too much to sell it. Mike, I edit my own attachments so they don't stay up there forever wasting space, but the JB Hutto record had been left intact, obviously by me thinking I may need it again at some point...

Anyone remember an instrumental version of the Ringo Starr track "Oh my my" being played briefly back in 1975?? Was by David Hentschell or something like that. Definitely played though.

Nobody know the St george & tana thing thing then??? Doesn't half grow on you.

Thing is John, if you just take a cursory glance at it, it looks good, then you see "Willie Huch and Bobby Hutton demo" and MVP's with the B side and think...hang on a minute...I reckon people just read the first few titles and assumed they were US originals.

Was never booted...

It's where they would have mastered it. Loads of people used the Apple studios.

There's a job lot on ebay with some great titles but I don't think people have read the advert properly - the description makes it sounds like a really good lot but if you read it closeley, they are nearly all reissues... https://cgi.ebay.com/Job-Lot-150-Jukebox-7-...tem160049705363

But it's two women...

Reduced the remainder now JOHN SPEAKER - I CAN'T BREAK THE NEWS TO MYSELF - VOGUE EX 60 75 Ultra-rare German only version - great too WILLIE WILLIAMS - HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PLAYED FOR A FOOL - ABC DJ EX 50 70 Catacombs classic THE DELCOS - ARABIA - SHOWCASE DJ EX- 25 30 Rare white demo ROOSEVELT GRIER - FOOL FOOL FOOL - RIC EX 15 20 His other one on the label - excellent dancer CHRIS PETERSON - I'LL GET EVEN WITH YOU - HI LITE EX 25 35 THE INTENTIONS - DON'T FORGET THAT I LOVE YOU - PHILIPS DJ EX 50 60 Great copy of the much rarer white demo 45 BOGIS CHIMES - I THINK YOU'LL FIND - CHAMP EX 20 25 Stafford spin ORIGINALS CADILLACS - I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO - JOSIE M 20 25 Underrated Chicago group dancer LITTLE TOMMY & THE ELGINS - I WALK ON - ABC EX 30 40 Couple of marks not affecting play LOU ROBERTS - TEN TO ONE - MGM DJ VG++ 30 40 Wigan classic - few marks, plays great JOEY SCARBURY - MIDNIGHT MAIL - DUNHILL DEMO EX- 30 40 Ian Levine biggie - hard to find dancer BILL QUARLES - BRINGING UP WHAT I'VE DONE WRONG - RALLY M- 20 25 Excellent lesser know with The Arkettes on backing

Mixed with that Fairy active foam, it's lethal! (the fairy active foam is definitely the best record cleaner I've used though...put it on a dry record, wipe it round so it coats it, play the recrod then was under the tap, the amount of crap it lifts out is amazing)

Maybe this will work /index.p...ost&id=4960

Wow it's still up here after all this time, fcking fantastic - but I don't know how to link to it, it's in my attachments folder

Acetates smell different to other records!
