Thelma Houston from the Mowest LP? Was certainly played around that time...

Thought it was LP only? Edit - scrub that, just seen a scan of the 12" demo...just that I've always played it from the album :-)

Frighteningly, 18 bids at the moment!

A little on the optimistic side? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AL-KENT-The-Way-You-Been-Acting-Lately-RIC-TIC-ORIGINAL-60-s/371284889488?_trksid=p2047675.c100013.m1986&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29952%26meid%3Decbb13d248944cc09a7a8070304a5d91%26pid%3D100013%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D29%26sd%3D300764660864

Will there be dance classes beforehand?

Agree with everything Steve and Ezzie have said, the Big Boys from Cheltenham and Gloucester used to go to Coppertops and The Bankhouse, I never did at the time but have Dj'd at both since then, thank goodness...Colin, are you sure your memory isn't playing you up on the guy's size. as Froggy certainly was selling tunes like that at the time, I got my San Remo Strings "Festival Time" from him around then, and always remember asking him about an obscure single by G L Crockett that I'd heard as a kid - a week later he turned up at the Spa Lounge in Cheltenham with a copy for me - and remember, this was before imports were widely available!

I think Theresa was referring to that thread being almost eight years old...

Fantastic reading, Rob, thanks a lot!

Been saying something similar for years

Catacombs - Cindy Scott "Time can change a love" Torch - P P Arnold "Everythings gonna be alright" Wigan - Jewels "We got togetherness" St Ives - Jay D Martin "By yourself" Yate - B J Thomas "I don't have a mind of my own" Stafford - Detroit Strings "In the pocket" Dome, Tufnell Park - September Jones "Give me all of your love"

....and that's going to make him a very hard act to follow, as SOTS is one of very few shows which manages to please the casual listener and anoraks (come on, we are...:-) )...BTW if back in the 70's Johnny Walker's "Pop the question" quiz at lunchtime was essential listening, as it was in our staffroom at work, Phil Swern was producer of that as well!

Think I'd agree with Mick H...BTW not mine either, though the pic was taken in my front room...:-) :-) :-)

An honourable mention for our very own Ady C, long before he mastered the art of DJ'ing and holding a pint in each hand, he was supplying tunes to Ian Clark etc...

Redruth actually Chalky :-) - top of Fore Street...

Nailed it Dave...no more to be said!

I know that I got Bob and Earl "The Sissy" on Chene, Bunny and Cindy on Neptune, some US promos of pop stuff (Status Quo on Cadet Concept anyone?) and probably a few reggae 45's in those Tesco 10p bins - I've always wondered what we all missed that has since gone massive!

First heard this when Dave Flynn used to play it at the Dome - according to him it got a few spins at Stafford covered up as Gwen Owens...https://www.anorakscorner.com/DiscReviews2.html

Found it, from late last year...

Think we did a thread about this not long ago, as I seem to remember Gary Rushbrooke playing Green Gruncheons, but Dave Flynn reckoned it was the Soulmates version...

There was a period (around 77/78?) when it got reactivated and hammered to death at most venues, and I can definitely remember several people - at least one in print - describing it as a dirge. Which, of course, it isn't, it was just reaction to an overplayed oldie...

Thank you for starting my day with a belly laugh or two ... now where's my pic cover 7" of "Footsee"?...I'm rich, I tell you rich!

I'm forever in your debt - that's the one! Never figured it as an unissued Motown track...Thanks so much, mystery solved...

About fifteen years ago I was given a CDR, but there's one track I have never identified. It's an uptempo female vocal - sort of Rita and the Tiaras-ish - with the hook line "Can't hold the feeling back" sung very sexily! Any help appreciated...

The one on the left is the 1972 legal reissue...
