No fair point but if young new b's think they're gonna be Keb Darge on the first night, think again. We all perhaps sat out a few nights listening to sounds etc. Confidence grows with time (and a few drinks) It was Keb that said "every f***er practices. If you don't feel confident in your living room then perhaps you are beyond help

Dunno about dying or dieing for that matter with the dinosaurs mate, only three years between us

Northern Dancing Class
None, that's just the point. Whatever moves you on to the floor and what you do when you are there is down to you. No one is going to laugh at you. If you feel the need to take lessons and it enhances your confidence well I don't know, I suppose that's okay. Still think that would be a bit superficial and you ain't got soul if you need to take freakin lessons. Sorry, just mho.

I just can't feature this, the music flows through your ears and out your legs - that's soul. Sorry, you can't teach that.

Pyramids - Love It Or Hate It?
I want equal first shout, I want equal first shout, I was born on the same day as him and I want equal first shout! Shoulda bought this when it was £150. The dodgy boot fades out before the end and the sound quality isn't that good. Michigan Move clearer sound quality. First heard this at St Ives - totally awesome. Fave tune * instruction left to play at funeral.

Pyramids - Love It Or Hate It?
True. Think one of these went on Ebay for about £60 last year.

Lookback At Leighton Buzzard Allnighter
Second that emotion Can't say same about pics Wedge hair was all the rage back then Remember:- Danny Huff in Ravel loafers, way big baggies Tony Galla blasting, peanut duck etc and Keb playing the Topics. Remember one night stopping the old Fiat Mirafiori, picking up a flashing traffic lamp going to the nighter, coming back and (for a psychedelic laugh) replacing in the same position Oh to be n n n n nineteen again!

R. Swipes On E-bay
Yeah, can't be bothered to report them anymore, just delete them. Ebay never email on account detail. Being in sales it's a real irritant to see an inbound email and think I wonder if that's a deal conf, only to find out it's those daft b#stards :angry:

Madness
This is a bit like Eden Kane - A new kind of loving on Decca. I like (and have)both, have to say. Although I was happy with the tenner Stardust thing for LT, wouldn't pay big money.

Roy Hamilton Could Sing A Tune
Can understand Earthquake not being everyone's cuppa tea. It is early, but I like that sort of stuff. Paid £90 for a demo, 'clicks' were so bad, had to get a refund and paid £125 for the yellow Epic issue. I'll save you posting "£125 for that turd" or sim. Never heard it played out. However You shook me up is a power house, it has balls equivalent to that of Gene Toones, or Soul Joe Clements (another record you hate if memory serves) imo.

Roy Hamilton Could Sing A Tune
Oh yes he can. Chuck Jackson is great, no doubt about that. Was dancing to the alternate 'hand it over' last night, fantastic. Roy the boy on the other hand, as good if not ahead by a nose imo. Earthquake is great, managed to pick up an Epic issue of this from Manship. Also you shook me up demo from Andy D - brilliant record. As is Reach out for me, Crackin' up, Panic is on, Don't come crying to me and I also like the latin-esq 'She makes me wanna dance.

- The Emperor's New Clothes - Rare, But
"And whenever I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord your soul to keep and bring it on home safe to me now" Whoss not to like? Fab intro, catchy lyrics, as Pete-S said brilliant as a northern soul record. One more thing, (validating) member russ winstanley1 - his fave record. Let's wait and see what he's got to say. - The Emperor's New Clothes - Rare, But
