I think a choon is related to tunage in some way, if it were acapella they'd be going round saying "songage" or "lyrix", and still thinking it made them sound cool.

Yes I think that has a lot to do with it.

Yes, primarily. Plus a few midtempos for the old people.

I like Joan Osborne but this is a bit karaoke, as they might say on the X Factor

Are you in Bananarama?

That post totally defeats the idea of having an events lookbacks section if all you are allowed to do is say how great something is. If he feels it was below standard he should be allowed to say whatever he wants. Otherwise just close the forum down.

But I've got some footage of the original singer (on that doo-wop show, taped about 5 years ago, I posted a few clips up) and he is introduced as Jay Black, he does Cara Mia and sommat else and he is the definitely the guy singing on the original records.

Well the guy who sings Livin Above Your Head and Cara Mia is Jay Black I think. I don't think that he is the guy singing Got Hung Up. So do we think the singer on Got Hung Up sounds like the singer of Up And Over and the answer must be - YES

I think it was Jay. (p.s. I bought a US issue for $26 last night)

Still cheap most of them, have a look https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZmayfair...1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0?

I've been contacted by "Court Davis" and had some friendly email exchanges with him (no, he doesn't have any copies of the record*), seems to have a very interesting story so if any of the usual fanzine/magazine writers or radio people want his details I'll be happy to pass them on. * he has the original acetate which is minus the string section though

Not my specialist subject I'm afraid (funk I mean) but this is priced at £85 in the Uk price guide so if anyone wants it for £60 they are welcome: THE ELEPHANT BAND - STONE PENGUIN / GROOVIN' AT THE APOLLO - MOJO 2092-036. Mint minus.

Wasn't Live Aid Drew, it was a Whistle Test special that was about 12 hours long, called something very original like Rock Around The Clock, I've still got most of it on tape, the highlights (apart from the Motown 25) was the Damned 10th anniversary concert which was fantastic, and the film London 0 Hull 4 featuring the Housemartins.

Hang on I think we may be at cross purposes here, the record I'm on about is Living a little laughing a little b/w I've got to make it on my own, but it's from pre-12" days, 1975 - did I reply about the wrong record?

No it's "I've got to make it on my own"...

Are you winding me up Paul?

Really, no idea, thats why I was asking. Someone already asked for the Jackie Moore record. Tenner for Dionne?

Apparently one of The Spinners tracks was up for £100 recently! I'll take half that

Yeah shame you had to threaten him with exposure on here though isn't it, you should have named him.

Got a bunch of mainly 70's releases here, I know absolutely nothing about them, just wondered if there's anything here worth selling? In no particular order (all are UK labels) and I'm not sure which side to list!
