Still have nightmares about that!..Some people have Van Gogh's ear for music don't they?

Seem to recall multiple copies in Tim Brown's shop,Richard S played it once as Mr Taylor,it so obviously is!..imo.

Swirling strings on Chris Bartley/Presidents"sweetest thing this side of heaven",always makes me want to turn my collar up against the wind!

Chuck Bernard just about as good as it gets!

Saw"20 feet from stardom"last week,up for best documentary at the Oscars.Took $5m at the U.S box office,opens here next month and is guaranteed to uplift you,stunning example of how to handle the subject matter.

Didn't Guy have"lets take a look at our lives"by them covered as Red Top Young?

"I put a mate on to that,the next day he walked on to a car boot sale and found a copy,good eh?..goes really well with Dan Folger"the way of the crowd"I find.

Simon & Garfunkel"sound of silence"...next!

Curtis Mayfield"this year"would be my choice,no naff factor,just quality.

"Put it in your pipe and smoke it"Mel Nixon..Leftfield xover that you'd pass right by!

Jerrys version of "ordinary Joe",if memory serves he credits Terry Callier in the notes as an up and coming talent.

I thought it was love muscle!..I'm a back scuttler by the way,thought I'd share that with the group.

The Mob still a cheapie?..such a great track.

Check out the superb lesser played(heaven knows why)flip side,super group harmonies_when love goes wrong"..fabulous track.

Dave Evison's Signal radio show,weekly guest spots,top sixes,a comprehensive whats on section,venue specials,Ritz,Mecca,Cleethorpes segment.Great balance,genial Dave in the chair..give me good radio over tv anyday.

"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?
