Well written article, though presumably he meant Patti Austin, not Jean Wells with the other version of 'Didn't say a word'? Also did anyone really ever play the Grandstand theme?!

I love this thread, keep 'em coming

Great stuff - couple of top WJ tunes in there - not played 'Never had it so good' or 'One chance' for ages. Easy Evil on the flip of 'Never' also a favourite. Leroy 'Ella Weez' and Impressions 'Love me' also way underrated IMO

Interesting that the issue was a different mix - can't think of many others like that. Leon Collins 'I just wanna say I love you' on Elf is the only one that springs to mind - anyone got any others?

Had followed the thread back but couldn't see it

Lovely that Rick, only knew him for Six Million Steps - need to look out for the LP

Which one do you mean?

Another Duke 45 from me to follow Martyn, lovely laid back crossover from Bobby Bland 'That's all there is (there ain't no more)

Love this one at the moment - the new 'Kiss my love goodbye'? That used to be a £5 record too Dionne Warwick 'Once you hit the road' (Warner Bros)

There's a few NM copies on discogs for £35 give or take

Give this one a go Martyn, Ivan Boogaloo Jones 'Black Whip' (Prestige) - reckon it would sit nicely alongside some of your Latin tunes as an early doors spin

I am a bit of a jazz fan on the quiet Been spinning this one a lot recently, Billy Taylor Trio 'Sunny' (Tower)

Hi Martyn, it starts like 'Running a losing race', also by him - is that what you're thinking of?

Better get some work done now lol

At the risk of sounding like a trainspotter she sings a slightly different melody in places i.e. first line of the last verse 'Oh gotta keep going' (1.37 or so on the clip). On the 45 the two syllables of 'Going' have different notes i.e. she drops down to the 'ing', whereas on the film she sings the same note for both. You see if I'm right Great clip either way

If she's miming it's not to the 45 though - same backing but a slightly different vocal in places and not as well produced, plus she improvises live several times Love The Hef with his pipe at the start, like an Austin Powers type spoof

Love this Martyn, need to find one Rick is right, reminds me of Batman running around with the unexploded bomb

lol great minds etc What are the other two?

Been checking out some tunes in old issues of the excellent 'New Blackbeat' and this is mentioned as a Sam spin from late '82. Just awesome - has it seen much action in recent years? Can't be many around judging by previous mentions on here i.e. JM auctioned it for almost £3k. Sounds like a Butch tune to me. Need to get saving up

What about the weekend itself - how was that?
