I'm still trying to work out why people don't like Joe Jama! Fantastic beat, good tune, nice lyrics, what's not to like?

Right you're off the Xmas card list Dave

Esther Phillips is a shocking singer. And you are spot on about the Del Davis, probably the worst one mentioned yet.

This Sunburst label is distributed by Amy-Mala-Bell but thats about it really

I think it's on the Sunburst label, not Amy?

Pity My Ears

How could I forget that atrocity

I'm thinking of loads now but will narrow it down to one carstairs record amazing dancing band - deep blue train truly dreadful instrumental bobby bennett - you're ready now one of the worst cover versions known to man eddie foster - i never knew apart from the piano intro the rest is a waste of vinyl edwin starr - scotts on swingers oh dear mary saenz - would she do that for you as a girl group record, fine, as a northern record, hideous (see also bernadette catsro, gerri thomas) the high & the mighty - help me escape from cuba lyrics so bad you can barely believe what you're hearing kenny bernard - pity my feet singer sounds like he's attempting to pass a giant marrow raw soul - the gig and bill pursell - heartbeat instrumentals for the insane

Useless records which should never have been played: miss dee dee philips - hey little girl mike mcdonald - god knows king errison - zola montclairs - hung up on your love carstairs - it really hurts me girl jc messina - time won't let me ellingtons - destined to become a loser happy cats - these boots are made for walking baby dolls - got to get you into my life

Me too.

Not on purpose, it just did it!

Don't blame Wigan for Stafford's mistakes! Sometimes it's not guilty.

Blimey, some of my favourites not doing very well today, Manifesto is a very unusual but ultimately brilliant sound, what a dancer, and the COD's record is just magnificent.

Brilliant record.

I love Joe jama. Great record. Classic dancer. Love it. Up until that jazz freakout at the end it's possibly one of the greatest records ever made...

I love Joe jama. Great record. Classic dancer. Love it.

I love Joe jama.

Not really...Interplay at least has something about it, a bit of drama, Esperanto is just lift music

Yes it is, ignore me.

Oh excuse me! I won't bother next time

If he is, it's not very funny

Well in the UK that's how it is

Here's another one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BARBARA-MILLS-QUEEN-FOOLS-DEMO-ORIGINAL-/260842555668?pt=UK_Records&hash=item3cbb6d8914

Yes that's correct. Has to be funds from the actual paypal account.
