The only problem with the St Etienne version is the way she pronounces the word "advantage" in the chorus, she says "ad-varn-tage" in a poncy southern style. The St Etienne track "Nothing can stop us" uses a massive sample from "I can't wait to see my babys face" (Dusty version)

Tony?

Always wondered about this track, I bought the original acetate off Phil Dick many years ago and sold it to Stuart T, but when it came out on that Motown cd it was a totally different and massively inferior version. Bit daft not recording the one I sold to Stuart really, must be a true one off.

No mate it's not my youtube clip. IF therss any singing on there it's not me either

Listen to the intro..

Was called Underwater I think - and it got played! nb It was harry thuman, wasn't harry truman a president?

This may sound bizarre but have a listen to Who Do You Think You Are by Candelwick Green and it's a great Northern track, if it hadn't charted it could have been covered up. I listened to it by accident recently and was very surprised. And then I see it on John Manships website

Mick if you put a line space inbetween each item I guarantee you'll sell more, it's just that big block of bold type does your eyes in and I had to give up half way down!

Just heard Lulu's version and it's horrible, she's out of tune! https://www.readysteadygirls.eu/#/lulu/4521595076 on the right hand side

Not watched this, do you think I should? Currently watching series 2 of Damages but watching very little since I packed up drinking and smoking - used to stay up til 1 or 2 am watching series, now I got to bed at 11 and read

If ever I've asked a question, someone's always answered it. If anyone's ever asked me a question, I've always answered it. Being helpful costs nothing.

I was thinking of last weeks post when you asked someone if they knew what a particular word meant. Except I can't spell it.

Unfortunately every thread that 'Dave' involves himself in gets dragged down to this, last week he was calling Malc Burton a sycophant for liking Ian levine productions, this week it's Mike plus three un-named dodgy characters.

Could you type anything without the help of your trusty thesaurus?

You don't call someone you've never met, spoken to or corresponded with a twat Rod. I've called him a know-all but he is a know-all, he's not a twat.

Good backing singers on that one

Yes, thank you for your massive contribution to the site.

Yes you can, via the link in My Ebay, left hand side, Feedback, should take you to a page where you can see all the items you need to leave feedback for. After a while, when you click in the space where you leave feedback, your previous comments will appear as a drop down and you can use the same one by just clicking on it.

What?

I can guarantee anyone who's interested that the blue Turbo copy is just as good a sound quality as the pink one. The white Turbo is poorer though. Did someone really pay $72 for it, I just sold an original for £100!

I do, and have said so before...great great days. Thinking further about this, some of the records that were popular when I first got into Northern properly were things like Ten Miles High, The Joker, Goodbye Nothing To Say, Tainted Love, Love Feeling, Footsee, Dizzy, Take A Letter Maria, The Night, Dena Barnes, Benny Curtis, Under My Thumb, Capreez, Skiing in the snow...a right old mixture...loved them all at the time though, with hindsight many of them were just played because of the danceability but SO WHAT?
