You'll have had enough sport for one day come 5 o'clock Saturday

To answer my own Question - WIN Cracking album. First thing i've found in the local shops for ages

"Fill your life with love" is the album. Still worth keeping?

Just been up town on my dinner break and bought a Controllers album on Juana for 10p from local animal rescue. Obviously not had chance to play it! Any thing of note on there.

Didn't Kojak/ Inter-City soul club organise a couple of weekenders. Def remember one at the Norbeck Castle, Blackpool being advertised but i think it was cancelled. This must have been mid to late 70's

Thanks for info both

I was doing a bit of catalogueing last night (What again!!! as the Mrs says!) and one of the records that i was doing was: VIP 25019 Danny Day - this time last summer/ please don't turn the lights out. Sod awful record but bought a good few years back as a label filler. So onto my question: My copy is on the old yellow/black VIP issue but in her Motown book Sharon Davies has it listed as unreleased. So was it? and who is/was Danny Day?

Mine arrived yesterday - WOW! Many thanks Gary

Think the Weapons of Peace also released an album on the label. Was it the only album issued by Playboy? Major Lance had a couple of things issued by the label as well.

The first two Mrs Evans's Cheap at half the price

Not so much a collection within a collection, more of a collection outside of a collection, if you see what i mean. Confused? cos i am! Started off collecting Okeh but moved outside of it to collect Major Lance's releases on other labels.

Northern and Football connection. Think it was Oldham Athletic fans who had a "Keep the faith" banner on display at Carlisle last year

prayer.mp3 Not the worlds greatest record but i quiet like this............if only to spin once a year. What does anyone else think

Remember this well. Out at the same time as Rod was producing Midnight Express. Wish i'd still got mine

Memory playing tricks or was "black power" always followed by Joe Tex "you better believe it"?

Live on the edge of the Lakes so really appreciate how much time, etc the MRT's give. Would love to see the soul comunity raise some money for them. First thoughts, so havn't really thought through the logistics, but....... B/H weekend sometime next year. 3 events based on the 3 peaks challenge Fri/Sat/Sun: England, Scotland, Wales. "Three Events Challange" or something like that. Just a thought

I've got a live album by Gene Chandler on Action. Will look up numbers etc tonight.

Talking of 'something much better' - and however heretical it may be to say so - I've always preferred WF's version of "Um Um Um Um Um Um" to Major Lance's. It's one of a select group of Beat Group records that I think outsrip the originals in every department, BURN THE WITCH

What about the "tweet, tweet" song

Ah! A fellow Westie owner. Wonderful dogs that train thier owners well We have two Dougal OTIS and Tilly CARLA. Wife and daughter got to pick first names i got second

George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic ...... i have tried but just can't get into it but every book i read tells me he's a genius! On a more general front:The Beatles ("Sgt.Peppers". Greatest album of all time ) and Queen (Couple of decent tracks but in the main pretty forgettable IMO).

Slightly off topic. One of the guys at work told me he saw an article in the Daily Record. Re:Frank Wilson/ Kenny Burrell. Can any of the Scottish guys on site scan it. He thought it was a fairly recent article. Back on topic. Isn't the worlds rarest record The Quarrymen acetate. Think McCartney owns it (or maybe only half of it by now ). Second Rarest records - the copies he made for his mates to celebrate something or other.

Very old fashioned i suppose but Major Lance is the one for me Not many bad uns amongst his output

Like most on here i suppose, i spend a good deal of time trawling e-bay for those elusive rareties. Sometimes however i think you get just as much pleasure from the little touches that keep us all going. Not rare or anything just nice, if that makes any sense. For instance.Just arrived through the post this week: Flamingoes -boogaloo party (Philips) mint $2.50 and a nice James Brown - night train (King) $5 again mint with company sleeve. Just a couple of nice records in really good condition. Anybody else picking up this sort of odds and ends or am i just deludeing myself because i can't afford the big boys records at the minute

Edwin Starr - my weakness is you (Gordy). First original i ever bought. £2.50 Casino record bar. Knew nowt (still don't! ) but recognised the artist Over the years loads of stuff been and gone, as you would expect, but would never part with this. Sentimental git
