Best of luck with this endeavor, Mike. I work for a software company that sells websites to our members, and this has been a consistent problem, especially for the last few years as bots get smarter and perform more complex actions. We used to see questionable statistics in our search stats, but now its clicks, too.

How nice is the attic? If nice enough, how about 'Soul Penthouse'?

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Yes, we are coming over from the States.

My daughter & I will be in London for a week next month and wanted to ask: Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations? Also, anything off the beaten path to do while we are there? Thanks.

I am a fan of most of Barbara's 45s, especially those on Arctic, the combination of her voice, like you said, and the the production of those Arctic 45s. 'You Better Stop It' may be my favorite, but I'm fond of this one too:

Yesterday afternoon I had the house to myself, and there was nothing to watch on TV, so I turned it off and pulled a few 45 boxes off the shelf and spun the following: The Colt 45's - Lady, Lady Wee Willie Denson - Strange Things Are Happening Eugene Church - Sixteen Tons The Webs - Tomorrow The Continental Four - How Can I Pretend The Lovettes - I Need A Guy Rene Bailey - I'm Just Gonna Be Missing You and to keep the good feeling going...... Bobbi Row & The Englishmen - Why's You Put Me On

Eddie Parker "I'm Gone" does he really sing "A B C D E F G" ? Can someone write 1 more line of a lyric please?

Freddie's Dead is a great song, so many great lines in it. Especially "We're all built up with progress, but sometimes I must confess, we can deal with rockets and dreams, but reality, what does its mean" is fantastic. I'm partial to "Pusherman", especially the opening lines.

one more photo, a must picture from any trip to Venice.

I returned from Venice this past Wednesday after a week there visiting my sister. Fairly busy there for Easter Sunday and the day after but overall had a really good time. Turn down a side street and there's quite some views, or enter a church to witness every inch of the interior covered in religious-ness.

thank you. 👍

I've been revisiting my ska records again recently, and I am not sure what Prince Buster is referring to in "Wine and Grine" when he talks about a "brush" " First thing she asks if you have your brush, If you have your brush you can avoid the rush" He also references the "brush" near the end of "Rough Rider" - "I wore me brush" OK, so what is a "brush"? If it's extremely lewd, send me a message. Thanks.

I have a really nice copy on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/2099692844

Going through another box, I found an old sales list from a seller I must have found through Goldmine or Discoveries, Social Insect Records from Danville, IL There was also another sales list from Lew Staley. Funny that I don't have any of the magazines. I did find a Scootering mag from 2000.

I was active from the late 80s to the late 90s. Buying records from dealers across the USA who had their small square ad in Goldmine or Discoveries and then you would get on their mailing list for their future auctions or sales lists. I also bought a number of UK mod revival & related records in the early 90s from a dealer in Canada from one of those listings, everything in great shape, some sealed. It never seemed a hassle, you just had to have some patience to wait for the auction end + a week or two to (hopefully) get the letter or postcard with any of the records you won. When the migration to eBay happened, I remember seeing some of those same dealers and buying from off of them on eBay.
