"How do you stop"from the living in America album,nice ballad.Think it charted briefly.

Good luck with Bob Soprano,gonna be huge one day is that.Carl Fortnum had it covered as Tony Middleton,spoke to him at"grumpy soul"recently,said he had a couple for sale.Great 45.

The days of hard copy are numbered,seems technology gathered pace much faster than anyone thought it would.

Just bite down on the pillow..Getchmis Olsen(may it pass quickly)

Flip that Sag Warfare over,still can't get my head round how good that record is Geoff,one of the best things I've ever heard.

Flip it over when it arrives!

"Before you ask for respect,check and see if you've given yourself what you're trying to get",take time out to look at yourself,you don't need nobody's help,you can stand alone"..then follows one of the most complete pieces of black music ever committed to vinyl,Sam Dees"what's it gonna be"

Very true,instrumentals seldom match the vocal for quality,another that does I think is the Fi Dels"try a little harder"inst..strings and things more than making up for the lack of a vocal.

Look forward to hearing that one at grumpy!

I only have it on a radio edit from when Shifty was a guest on Richard Searlings prog,he played it as Des O Connor!,Carl later played it as Tony Middleton,anyone got a full soundclip for download?

An absolute killer track on Musicor(new talent)which Carl Fortnum is currently featuring is Bob Soprano"hey girls",out and out northern,definately worth a look.

Sorry no,similar in style to Blackstreet"no diggity"

Playing a mid tempo hip hop/RnB type track sounding similar to Rick James.Its on an old Andy Davies Solar radio prog from around 10 yrs ago,a real atmospheric feel with the hookline"I just don't understand",any ideas folks?

Always take an emergency 45 to play when you've lost the dancefloor...remember to duck!

Phantom janitor was from "Hong Kong phuey" when Richard used cartoon characters as artists names wasn't it?

Willie Tee worth it just for that,fabulous track.

Don't expect to hear the Debonaires played out these days,great track.Prefer J.T.Rhythmn(James Thorpe)version of"my sweet baby"though,shouldn't be too fussy though,still a good version to play.

Great track,almost the same as tomorrow's men"who's that lady"same backing as El Anthony"we've been in love too long"..connections eh?

Great venue for Manchester at that time,once a month you could do Saturday at Wigan,hang around Manchester till noon,then do the all dayer.Strange when you think now that it was the norm for attendances to be 1000 plus in those days.

Flip it over when it arrives!

Wasn't that label a source of cheap alternative versions of the big sounds of the day?,ie Trieste"I can see him making love to you",inferior take on the Anderson bros.Dont know who was behind it though.

Seems to be a case of rarity over quality to me,not a patch on Tony Hestor,vocal nowhere near as soulful.

Artistics"girl I need you",fabulous track,must have sounded years ahead of its time on its release.

I went to see my doctor the other day he said I was paranoid,well he didn't actually say it but I could tell that was what the bastard was thinking!

Agree its a great track,needs cueing in somewhat though..that intro!
