Burgos centro en noche

my youngest enjoying a bit of 'Espanol pintada' !

In Burgos in Northern Spain tonight, bloody good wine and the town is 'especial'!

Which label? Would think Cap City for that money, part 111 is generally allot cheaper. Told Capcity is the first release Mitch.

On the beach tonight...

Back in Albox in southern Spain. Peluqeria obviously means hairdressers, great sign and no wonder her hair is like that... Es muy muy calido y humedo aqui...

Like the flip on this this one allot, ‘need of love’ great 45. As far as I know Originals should have MR stamp, and I’ve only ever seen it on styrene, mines a white demo which actually looks like a boot to be honest, I read somewhere that when it was discovered it was concidered a boot, only later that it was authenticated so to speak.

blimey that's ultra hard isnt it.. Id have plum for "Dont Look over your shoulder" as its the flip to Hand it over, two birds one mighty stone :-0)

the below link to Dave Rimmer's site gives you all the releases... MAGNUM records

Anybody got an Israel CBS Sleeve to go with the below 45? good condition, will pay a fiver for a good one. Mal

I'm not far behind you Pete, 49 next month.. but I answer to 27... Rob we must have been in the place the same time... in fact your clubbing habits seem to overlap mine allot what with the rigger and all that... where in Brum are you from?

Check out Dave Flynn’s website, it’s invaluable for this, got all you need and it’s free as apposed to the book. Anorakscorner.com I think,,, good luck:-)

Could some kind soul re post the Monarch stamp and numbering system at this juncture? Its s a good one as they stamped and numbered all their releases however allot of later ‘northern’ scene bootlegs were pressed there, so having a stamp, or not, cannot determine whether your 45 is original, only way is to know what stamp / etching in the dead wax to look for. btw we have all done it, bought 45s that had a fake stamp, I got done on Harvey - anyway you wanna /WD 4 or so years back, and I’ve been collecting ft since the early 9ts, Mikki Farrow is one of the best lookalike boots out there, cryptic, but only way to tell that is the look in his eyes!!! Spyder Turner was a massive pressing, I mean they pressed allot of that track, it’s comes in vinyl and styrene, it got a seventies reissue Blue/Gold label which is very rare, you will probably find MR (Monach) presses of it and allot of numbered etched on vinyl out there, too common to boot even back in the 7ts... half of this lot on here can sniff an original in the flesh, if you handle enough 45s you can tell immediately 80% of tracks you come across, knowing the record and the scene it was played on is also useful, Popcorn records cross over, so we all want Sam Fletcher, but the boot originated for that scene not the Northern, same goes for Doo Wop / group harmony stuff, slower flipped allot of the time with a dancer,,, it pains me to suggest but buy the book, you know the one ☝️ mal

Couple places called Whitchurch , wondered was Whitchurch Civic the suburb of Cardiff? Mal

Me and Liza a couple times at the 100 Club, Liza and Tina at the 100 club again and assorted girls, and a few holidays now and then, me with very long hair in my house days at Snobs in B'ham... would be 90/91... B&W shot was a rave some mates put on in a cow tunnel under the M40, Im in there....!

Heron in mid flight down the canal tonight...

Rest in Peace Dean, sincere condolences to his family & friends.

Cheers Mark 🙂 appreciate it

Much the same responce I got from Rene, seems tis one may or maynot happen eeek!!

cool track, kinda jazz influenced I think, those changes and violins are great... did they do anything else?

Hi all, I follow Rena Scott on Linked in and she has been advertising an event she and Garfield Fleming will be singing at on the 20th October, Ive sent her a few messages but no responce, and I cant find any actual info on this do at all, Ive found 'Soiree Soul Funk Sensation' but not featuring Rene and Garfield, anyhow the info is below, is anybody in contact with the organisers or can point me in the right direction, I want some tickets, I should say I'm not on Face book and any of that any more, so website / email / number probably better for me. Rene Scott and Garfield Fleming + Teddy Pendergrass Tribute band Soiree Soul Funk Sensation - Douai City hall, France - 20th October 2018

Luther for me as well Derek 🙂

another Master... sadly departed... 😞

He did... it was brilliant, I thought it was 'The Travel Programme' with Judith Charmers but he said she was ITV, and he wrote the theme to that as well... I love 'Lucifers Cage' but as there were so many Guitaristas on, they only only got three songs a piece...

Lol, very near, Fear of Missing Out! its a new phenomonen in social media, folk are literally suffering from the "Fear of Missin Out!" If I could I'd go back to set sale lists, but we probably suffered from it then too... :-?
